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!

I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.

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 is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound.

Still saving for my keycaps sets

Keycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone

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.
