minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·2 年前Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost. That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.
minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 年前Keycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone
minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前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.

minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?
minus-squareCrafter72@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 年前They def pricier on chassis, plate (foam too!) and ready-to-use designed pcb with components. However from my own experience building your own keyboard is fun especially when the result is as good as you expected from planning stage. Pure bliss. Hello fellow 2hu youkai
minus-squareCrafter72@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前Keycaps 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-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前You’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 年前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.

Scandalous!
