hehe, it actually IS expensive, that's a fact. at least by most standards it is. making it look like it's not won't change it.
whether it is WORTH it, that's a whole different story.
Yes no one is denying that GMK full key-set is
expensive BUT when you have these installed into your keyboard (whether it be Filco, Leopold, GON, Kmac, etc) you shall see what all the fuss is about.
Very few people ever sell their original GMK keysets in the classifieds unless they jumped on over to the 'darkside (thorpie camp)'.
When you do have authentic Cherry Profile installed into your keyboard there is very little chance for SP to ever get a look-in, into that same keyboard.
