you can't expect people to go after the $300 boards if chinks make a $40 one

2016-07-16 17:44:48 UTC  

same reason people buy a $15 watch instead of the $400 original

2016-07-16 17:46:16 UTC  

most people don't know enough about mechs, watches, sunglasses, micro sd cards to give a fuck

2016-07-16 17:46:19 UTC  

they just know they saved money

2016-07-16 17:47:00 UTC  

or some people don't have the money

2016-07-16 17:47:10 UTC  

they can get a lower quality slice of the experience

2016-07-16 17:47:13 UTC  

of the full priced thing

2016-07-16 17:50:27 UTC  

it's like anything, a meme occurs, introductory enthusiast pricing to get richfags in, the richfags boast about their expensive toys, demand rises, savvy businessmen notice and make cheaper versions, the first few attempts suck

2016-07-16 17:50:38 UTC  

then by the end there's a near reproduction for 1/10 of the price

2016-07-16 17:50:54 UTC  

which makes the original enthusiasts mad as fuck because they paid way more for it

2016-07-16 17:50:59 UTC  

The cheapest board that actually had official cherry switches are from monoprice

2016-07-16 17:50:59 UTC  

But cherry is shit anyway

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

But this is csg

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

You can because they look and feel awesome

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

So go buy Gaterons they are the same

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

No way you are getting an ergodox or an ergo custom for chink prices

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

And you can post pictures of them on le reddit of course

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

True but you're a pleb if you do

2016-07-16 17:51:28 UTC  

Not all of us are 14 with no expenses

2016-07-16 17:51:42 UTC  

>barely any expendable income

2016-07-16 17:51:46 UTC  

>want to get out of rubber domes

2016-07-16 17:51:55 UTC  

>buy a cheap chinky stinky over cheap chinky stinky rubber dome

2016-07-16 17:52:00 UTC  

seems reasonable to me

2016-07-16 17:52:42 UTC  

I've no doubt they're plebian shitty entry level keyboards

2016-07-16 17:52:53 UTC  

but a lot of us are poorfag plebs anyway

2016-07-16 17:53:14 UTC  

Speak for yourself m8

2016-07-16 17:53:28 UTC  

Wow it's like you don't even solder your own 20% keyboard with custom CNC'd keycaps

2016-07-16 17:53:44 UTC  

Keyboard autists are in a realm of their own

2016-07-16 17:53:49 UTC  

lol

2016-07-16 17:54:03 UTC  

What does a 20% keyboard look like?

2016-07-16 17:54:15 UTC

2016-07-16 17:54:32 UTC  

And @Comfy my keyboard was 40 bucks from some guy on le reddit

2016-07-16 17:54:33 UTC  

i don't think 20% keyboards are a thing

2016-07-16 17:54:39 UTC  

oh wow

2016-07-16 17:54:40 UTC
