If you look in the off-topic section, I think there is more than only keyboards here. I think people here connect with other people because we all have in common that we like / appreciate quality and perfection. Aside from keyboards, there are threads on vapers, shoes, audio boxes, headphones, mouses, cars, fountain pens, etc. And all these topics are about the beauty of design and the quality of manufacturing. And in this society of disposable everything, I think that people who truly and deeply (like a philosophy or way of life) appreciate quality and beautiful products being build that go beyond a "minimal viable" product are becoming increasingly scarce.
