Why this pricing?More
I wanted to take a moment to explain the reasoning behind the price point. The hobby has evolved significantly since 2020-2022. In order to ensure the keyboard will be made, I had to lower the minimum required units.
Additionally, the manufacturers involved in this project are among the most reputable and high-quality in the hobby. You can expect to receive a flawless, perfectly finished unit.
Moreover, the keyboard kit includes everything you'll need for a fully functional keyboard (except for switches, stabs, and keycaps), so you don't have to purchase the plate or the PCB separately. Apart from the fact that the keyboard itself is bigger than usual, meaning more material to remove resulting in a more expensive manufacturing process.
