Why the hell is the price for this keyboard so high? what am I missing?

[cazzz1975]

must be a typo surely, it is still expensive but less so on amazon:

Don't know, beats me too.

[ummmm]

4 sold, 2 for £135.95 and £138.95...

[cazzz1975]

the ones that have sold have been sold at 135.95 with 6 still left to buy, maybe the large number is the sum of all the keyboards plus postage/packing.

I've seen a few things recently on Ebay that are vastly overpriced, I thought there may be some well known reason for it that I hadn't heard about. lol

Just had a look at the link. That is a ridiculously high price for a keyboard. I do note however that it is using Cherry technology in the keys. That is up there with the best as I can verify.
I am typing this on a Cherry keyboard that I have had for the last 17+ years; it is now on its 3rd computer and showing no signs of age(unlike me). I fully expect it to see me off this planet.

I would imagine that the 18 carat gold plated switch contacts would add a few bob to the cost given the price of gold nowadays.

If it is for gaming then I guess that a parent will foot the bill..

As you can see

there is a wide range of prices for Cherry products on their own. I still think £900 is silly though.

at least it's got free postage!

It is a bit steep I must admit but soooo nice. I do have to own up to spending just under £70 on a gaming mouse, but it is a very nice and useful bit of kit.

That keyboard is £150 on Amazon

Looked for an 18.1 inch screen for my laptop on ebay recently, one seller had them for sale at £1000. asked them why it was so dear he replied telling me that he only had one in stock. local computer store quoted me £180 including fitting...

[HowardKennitby]

I think input devices that you are comfortable with are very important. My 17+ yr old keyboard cost me £50+ new and I have a Wacom graphic tablet & pen that cost £150.

[ChuckFickens]

Meh!.... that's a cheap keyboard.

Anybody spending nearly £1000 on a keyboard must be stark raving mad !

You could hire a secretary for less than that

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I bought a keyboard in ASDA, cost £4. works perfectly.
