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

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.
