Guys I don't see them making titanium topre spacebars. I require the best possible quality under my thumb. WTB novatouch.
Also titanium spacebars shouldn't cost more than a few cents.
In fact, everything is too expensive. It should all be free.
And I demand rainbows and gumdrops and ponies for everyone.
Ponies made out of diamond.

Why is it expensive? Because of R&D. Not just the stems had to be engineered There's a lot of interesting work that's gone on udner the hood of that thing, and a lot of it didn't start with Topre PCB and rubber.
It's evident that CM spent a lot of money designing it. They have to make that back somehow. Designing a new product and actually bringing it to market is very expensive. I think a lot of people underestimate that.
Is it " too expensive for you"? Perhaps. Everyone's got their pricepoint. A cheaper item will sell to more people. A more expensive will sell to less people, but at higher margin. You have to carefully determine the price to maximize profit and market captialization. If you personally fall outside that range, then it's not for you. That's how life and economics work.
If you want a serious discussion as to the costs of prototyping and manufacturing and desinging something like this, then we can have that discussion.
If you want to talk about Cooler Master's perceived brand qualities and how they apply to this product, we can have that discussion too. I think it would also involve a very important discussion as to why they might want to start to change their brand concept to reach a broader market.
If you want to complain about things being outside your budget, then go for it. Make a topic in off topic, or add a post to the "what makes you mad" topic or something.
If you want to make some sort of commentary about capitalism, I guess you can go for that as well.
But carrying on some sort of amalgamation of them doesn't make sense. Decide the topic you want to discuss and we'll do it.
