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.
A typical office keeb is around $15. If you can build this for anywhere close to $150 I’m gonna take 2, please!
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.
Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
Keycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone
