Re: $2000 too much for a custom keyboard?

If there are people willing to pay 10,000 dollars or more for a luxury Apple iWatch then I'm sure there are people willing to spend large amounts of cash for a keyboard. I would think that such a market would be very small though.

It's a good thing I've become attached to my Corsair K70. Even though I have 2 defective LED I am refusing to replace it under warranty since it's not available. The red backlight is still available but I like my blue. I'd be just stupid enough to waste the dough on one of these Datamancers.

What makes these appealing to me is the fact that I'm old enough to remember the standard non-electric typewriter. I was 5 yrs old when the IBM Selectric was unveiled. I can't begin to tell you how many typewriters I destroyed when I was a child. LOL

If you're going to buy a keyboard that looks like it was designed for, or by, Howard Hughes, you probably should have as much money as him.

Having as much money as Howard Hughes is on my "To do" list, BTW. LOL

But I already have a couch and I only paid $999.00 for it. Now what?

Two leather couches ?
I don't have room for two couches in my apartment. I will make room for one of these "New Yorker" models but they look like they would hurt if you used them for a couch.

Sell it and buy a 2K leather couch if you want to be a copycat.

Yes, that's too much for a keyboard.
