minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoDon’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost. That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoLooks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoYou’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.
minus-squareCrafter72@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoKeycaps is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound. Still saving for my keycaps sets
minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoKeycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone
minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoTrue. I was mostly thinking about having to buy keycaps aftermarket when the prices double/triple and having to source all the different kits. Personally, I think I have three times as many keycap sets than I do keyboards.

minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoI was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.
