  I'll be the one to ask for it: you saying that without any hint on where and how to procure this means that I can't take your message seriously. Provide proof?

  Of course you can, but not everybody wants to. Right now my desk is littered with ESP32 modules, small breadboards and random electronics related to a few projects I am working on. I could build a keyboard nearly from scratch - I have a CNC machine I could carve a case on, Atmel chips that I could use to make a USB interface, etc. But I don't have the interest in building or modding a keyboard, I just want to buy something that works so I can concentrate on other things. IMO Logitech is better than average at market research and product targeting. My guess is they will sell hundreds of thousands of these easily, probably just not to the mechanical keyboard hacker market.

  Can you though? I am trying to build a custom keyboard. It's exhausting to sort through the bad layouts, tacky RGB cases, and ugly keycaps. Custom keycap sets rarely have legends for function/media keys. If I find something I like, everything is sold out, or the "drop" has ended. It's potentially a lot of work. I love the idea of a big manufacturer designing a keyboard that checks many boxes for people. Decent switches, a decent layout, and actual legends on keycaps will go a long way.

  Most people are not interested into building keyboards.
