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.
