    It seems that the mechanical keyboard alone is a large part of the cost.

    I do agree this is a very niche product.

      $314 if you want a model with a fully assembled keyboard or $269 for a version without keycaps and key switches

      with just the $45 difference, I doubt it’s about the keyboard.

        Us mechanical keyboard enthusiasts have brainwashed ourselves into thinking $45 keyboards are normal.

        That’s true. But it adds up.

        And it is a small batch project, even outside of IT, small batch is always pricey.
