Is there some reason New-egg keyboards are off the charts expensive?

Even half off, is no where near the competition in style and value. If EVGA is going to charge more, they need to bring it with the "must have" looks and next level features. People said that the smartphone would never catch on, because the keypad had no click. It did. Where is my programmable touch screen keyboard? Click? Well, you can put a rumble pad in it.

I bought a new keyboard and didn't even consider EVGA, so I guess that really shows how far behind they are in the peripherals department.

The whole custom keyboard market has gotten a bit crazy. People shelling out 500+ now

$500? Hmm. Only if I get a blow up the planet button and lasers.

The semiconductor shortage has caused ALL electronics to go up in price. That includes keyboards and mice as well.

Thanos snap for $500. Yeah the peripheral market is getting crazy , think they are taking clues from the gpu market ... if it’s there and available and has demand we can def sell it ... I want to try the evga , I really hope they come out with a sff 10keyless just for gaming .. desk space is a premium

As we all fuss about gpu shortages , just imagine how bad it could get ... what if we get to the point keyboards and mice are no where to be found ? Well I’m sure logi will
Pull it out for us , but seriously a nice mech keyboard running half the cost of a gpu .. crazy times

It's like who's line is it anyway. It's all made up and the points don't matter. Whatever government program they have us in - do not consent. I don't.

I'm still using a Logitech G502 mouse, but I found Corsair keyboards to be much better than Logitech. I also didn't even consider EVGA, didn't even know they made keyboards. I definitely would've checked them out.

The prices are absolutely mental, having to pay a premium for everything LOL. Not a bad year to just sit down and study I suppose and not game?

Crazy times indeed, my friend. I shudder to think how long this situation will last. I just want to upgrade my PC and peripherals. Is it really too much to ask that retailers and AIBs create better mechanisms to ensure real gamers get their hands on this stuff too, if they can't outright stop scalpers and miners.
