They already have very, very limited options in terms of keycap sets. Most sets for RealForce are sold out on EliteKeyboards.
If they ever decide to follow the MX fittings route, then Elitekeyboards would go bankrupt soon after
. After all who wants to stay enslaved to only ONE company to get any of their Topre fix?
Plus SP, GMK and BSP would get far more orders coming in from combined Cherry and Thorpie users, which can ONLY lead to a far greater choice for everyone involved
. This should be the future for everyone here. You get a far greater choice plus the prices should plummet across the board (hopeful naivety).
