Any chance you'd consider moving the character to the left side of the mat?

left handed version?

No, I seldom eat pasta because of carbohydrates ....
And I much prefer rice or potatoes, but, that said, home made pasta is Excellent!
I have always had good luck with Kitchenaide gear (although most of mine is years or decades old).


I used to have a pasta maker and bread maker, and used both multiple times a week. It will totally get you off store-bought carbs because the quality of fresh is 1000x better.
Man, I was fat though. I lost like 30lbs in 6 months after giving them away to a friend.

I don't think the hobby is as sustainable as cars because a lot less people are into keyboards than they are cars.

Globally, a lot more people use keyboards than cars.

"use" != "are hobbyists"

honestly I feel that we will be on the cusp on how "premium" keyboards will get imo. I don't think we'll ever get to a point where 10k keyboards are even a rarity. Also a lot of the prices are going down on a lot of things, with very few things retaining their value from the pandemic where things were at their highest. I don't think the hobby is as sustainable as cars because a lot less people are into keyboards than they are cars. Unless we get another global pandemic soon I don't think it's gonna get to that point.

I am not so sure. The cheapest driver/enthusiast oriented cars still run around $5k + all the upkeep, etc. The Cheapest keyboards are $40 or less, complete. Cars just have utilitarian value and mechanical keyboards offer "feelz" as we use our computers. We aren't into the realm of crazy materials or branding. If Ferrari released a carbon fiber/aluminum, painted keyboard it would easily cost over 10k. Have Hermes leather wrap a wrest rest, 10k. Engrave the Louis V logo in the case, make 200 and give 50 to celebrities to post on Insta and charge 20k, some people will buy it. Even brands putting a screenprinted logo on a white shirt can command hundreds/thousands (Supreme).

Every car person I've ever met drools over cars like the F40, McLaren F1, etc. They will likely never see the car IRL let alone drive it or own it. But they exists for certain circles who can afford them. I haven't seen any real luxury or boutique brands selling you a vision/lifestyle/etc through keyboards yet. Keyboards are very grass roots and very second hand friendly. Because of this the options for nice, but affordable keyboards are wide. This is largely a great thing.

I am not sure what a 10k keyboard would look like, but add enough fancy materials, finishes, and brand collabs and you are likely not far off.

Oh yes, about the vacuum cleaners - probably 15-20 years ago we needed a new one... I don't remember, even though I did the majority of the vacuuming. I think it was yellow and black, and it worked quite well!

Nice.  Sounds like a Miele U1 Jazz.  I still have one dedicated on my 3rd floor.

Globally, a lot more people use keyboards than cars.  All hobbies ebb and flow in value, but as long as people use keyboards, they will remain relevant and collectable.  Coins are still collectable, meanwhile collecting stamps is waning, but there are are still some that collectors pay 10's of thousands (check that) MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for specific stamps or sets of stamps.  There are 6-figure collectable knives, for crying out loud.  My most expensive knife costs more than my Smith + Rune collector's edition copper keyboard and numpad combo I'm waiting on, and the knife is just (a cool) CNC'd piece of metal with some anodization.
