Don't know how much your paying for clacks but the only one of those things even close is maybe monthly internet bill.

I don't have one. I haven't seen one reasonably priced for a few weeks and I think all of those are accurate being $100 or less. I tried a WTB for what I would consider fair at roughly 50-70 bucks but got attacked with threadcrap and assumed it must be substantially higher. Not like I was asking for transluscent or tri-colors.

So yes, it is slightly daft. But it speaks volumes about what we would or have sacrificed to have one.

so listing any item/s inbetween $50-500 is fun? if that's the case then i guess my idea of fun is severely skewed.

Contribute something to the conversation instead of picking apart the meaning of fun. I'm sure you've sacrificed something at one point or another down the line for a Click Clack or maybe just another Enthusiast Keycap.

I could probably get a chill bag for the price of a common clack these days. Or I could get drunk probably two times.

Alas those moments are fleeting, whereas clacks are forever! Be with me.....foreverrrr :D

Assuming $150-250, which is what I've been seeing lately.  A full keyboard or two.  A year's supply of paper bedding for my small pets.  A lot of blended frozen yogurts (yum).  Many cans of paint (oh wait...)  Airbrush ventilation system of a large size.  A nice soldering station + Hakko desoldering gun (one can dream).  Savings for a tablet upgrade.  I can think of a few more things!  This is why I don't buy Clacks outside of entering for EK/CF sales.

Buy a Gas Mask.

Or a BroBot.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

A really nice motherboard for your preferred platform, or a mid-range processor.  For example, a FX-8350 or just about ANY 990FX board will cost you less than a top-priced clickclack.

A very practical individual.  Just better buy some decent PC gear instead, lucky I'm no Click-Clack addict, embarrassing to look yourself in the mirror after paying $350.00USD+ for 1 clack.

How about , "Everything you could eat besides a grilled cheese sandwich but don't because it's not early as good?"

it's possible in nepal, though.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Why even respond to this guy? Every time something comes up that people think might be a bit too expensive, he pops in to slurp on the balls of the person selling it, saying that it's so worth it and no one else understands value, and then turns around and does the same thing to other items.

Really, this is sort of the same sort of situation that Bro Caps described with Thorpe. People feel they have to talk about this topic because the love for them by some is something they want to attack because they don't understand it and relate them to any other plastic cap.
