I'd hate for the author of this article to run into mechanical keyboard folks.
- maratc 2y agoNot to mention mechanical watch folks.
- justsomehnguy 2y agoSuddenly I have an idea.
- k_roy 2y agopens too
- graftak 2y agoThat’s like saying an off the self suit should be €2000 because tailor made suits exist.
- k_roy 2y agoNo. That's just saying that a $400+ keyboard isn't insane and has existed for a while and Microsoft hasn't "lost its mind"
- talldayo 2y agoFWIW I'm typing on a custom-built mechanical keyboard from Taiwan that costs less than half as much as Microsoft's keeb: https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi
- inhumantsar 2y agooh, shit. I don't need another keyboard but I do need that. it's like the ThinkPad of my dreams just stepped out of 2003.
- talldayo 2y agoIt's glorious. I got mine with Cherry MX Reds and it's a wonderful typing experience. They're so cheap that I'm tempted to buy a second one as my backup trackpoint.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoSame reaction here. Luckily the US variant (Kodachi) is out of stock, so the impulse buy was squashed. Did sign up for notification of it coming back in stock...
- stonogo 2y agoKodachi is a different keyboard, a limited run prototype. Shinobi is the mass produced version and is in stock at mechanicalkeyboards.com and some other sites. I don't think kodachi will ever be back in stock.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoThe only mechanical keyboard I use is the Keychron C3 Pro ( https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c3-pro-qmk-via-wired-mechanical-keyboard https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c3-pro-qmk-via-wi... ), specifically because it's a mechanical keyboard running QMK that I got for $30 on Amazon. Everything else still strikes me as insane.
