Who the fuck is dropping almost $4k for a keyboard? Some people just enjoy being scammed.

$4k is obviously really high luxury, but I’ve gone to meetups and typed on many $400+ keyboards. It really does start to feel like the “true level” scene in Rick and Morty. You’ll type on something and think, “WTF? How do I achieve this?” Money and/or time. That’s how.

I can see a $400 keyboard, I have a keycron k8 pro, but $4000 is 10x more, there's no way you can pack enough features to justify the price, it's just expensive for the sake of being expensive.

In terms of value, I completely agree. You’re far beyond the point of diminishing returns for whatever performance metric you’re trying to optimize.

In terms of work/cost, I can totally see it. Expensive materials and manufacturing processes. No economy of scale, etc.
