I’m not going to call it dumb, but I will will say… reading that bit, I don’t understand this product at all and could not be further from their target market.

I don’t understand it either and I know people who are in it. Super expensive keyboards are one of the strangest hobbies I’ve heard of!

  • I'd understand it more if super expensive keyboards actually improved typing speed and accuracy, but I think they just like the sound and feeling of the keys.

    I have a rare board with Blue Alps switches, from when most keyboards were mechanical; it's definitely very clicky and tactile, but I rarely use it because I can type much faster on a generic low-profile one with soft and cushy rubber domes.

These are keyboards for users of LLMs. Every time their keyboard falls apart they are reminded that LLMs can make mistakes.
