Im two years in and I hate the keyboard. I actually didn’t hate it to start with because the bigger keys felt nice and I figured my accuracy would return after I got used to it, but it’s been literally years and I still make constant typos

Yep, US$31.99 here in Australia. I was going to re-buy it (I already have a hard copy), but I'll be damned if I'm going to at that price. Regional pricing is such a scam.
