When something is ridiculously expensive, it’s usually because you’re not the target customer. I’m a programmer and my I’ve had hard times explaining to my wife why did I need a $300 keyboard. I guess no one here would complain about $300 mechanical keyboard.
- shikoba 5y agoI would complain. I bought the cheapest mouse and keyboard. I don't need high-tech stuff for coding. But it's your choice, not mine.
- neogodless 5y agoI agree with your main point. I'm a programmer using a $60 non-mechanical ergonomic keyboard. I would complain about a $300 mechanical keyboard. First when I pay for it, and again when I had to hear all that racket! :) (I know in theory Cherry MX Clear/Brown are a bit quieter? But I'll stick to non-mechanical, low cost keyboards for now.)
- DennisP 5y agoI use Cherry Browns, and they are reasonably quiet. When I worked in a cubicle I had no complaints. They have the ergonomics relevant to me: my finger joints were getting sore. I got the mech and trained myself to type without bottoming out the keys much, and that fixed it.
- postalrat 5y agoI think a lot of programmers prefer not to use a mechanical keyboard.
