Considering not 'made in china' and a lot of 3d machining, this was best price we can afford.

Bought the $590 one. Is there a cheaper ergo tkl for sale? Or is the alternative just not buying one?

Seems pretty reasonable. It’s not a simple rectangle and there is more machining so yeah $600 seems fine to me.

A shame that black didn't make it as one of the anodizing colors, so silver it is!

Everything's prices have been increased steeply recently, especially raw material cost. Also Aster has many 3d-machined parts, which means much longer machining time is required than 2d-machining(mostly rectangle desinged keyboards are machined 2d).

We had also concerned about the price, so tried to lower it. If you consider eco version, the price isn't too high considering other ergo tkls.

This design looks great. The top mount plate looks to be built to flex a bit. Seems very thoughtfully done.

I grabbed one with an extra gasket mount plate and extra PCB. Can’t wait!

I grabbed a stainless steel gasket mount plate, hoping it will be stiffer than the top mount.
