    Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

      Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).

        Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost.

        That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.

            True. 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.

        I 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.
