I dont see why they should care for other sellers. Unicomp is the owner of the buckling springs patent (they bought it from IBM). They can do whatever they feel like with it.
There isn't just a straight forward way of comprehending a sentence. We love conspiracy theory, dont't we?
Just saying...
It is just a pain to design+make new molds while the profit doesn't correspond to the extra effort. The $ generated from selling full-sized keyboards probably is enough to keep the company running (actually new buckling spring keyboards available at a reasonable price).
Anyways we should appreciate their effort for keeping the buckling spring keyboards alive. I love my Customizer 104=)
p/s: Don't hate me if u find these disturbing, homework is too boring and I couldn't stop my imagination from going awry.
