No idea about the price, but the keyboard, although not very widely heard of, still seems to be sort of ok.

"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

I have the impression that mechanical keyboards cost at least 60/70 pounds..maybe I'm wrong?

the Ozone board is a nice one, I had one briefly. Ozone are not that unheard of, they used to make more than they do now but they have made quite a few peripherals. I was using an ozone smog mouse for ages.
I got boards.
