Make it aluminum and then I would consider it at that price. I have a hefty mammoth 75 with the added num pad and it was under this price. I would be surprised they move a single unit here.

Amen to that. I dipped my toe into the pool about $300 USD deep and that was it. $300 to put letters and numbers on a screen in a pleasant enough manner is enough for me. To each his own, but the keeb world consists of the wine collectors of the tech geeks. For me, after a certain threshold I'm not going to be able to tell the difference.

For six hundred bucks you'd think they could throw in some of those carpal tunnel braces to go with the 10 degree typing angle.

What a goofy price. I actually was thinking about getting it thinking it would be 150-200. What a massive yikes.

Who's paying 600-800 on a keyboard? this is ridiculous, only difference I see in most other boards, is a ludicrous typing angle, a case with more bulk than I know what to do with, and a dot matrix screen on the front, that I'd be insane to justify that price tag with

That's kinda where I'm coming from, you could spend the 810 for the bundle, and not even like the switches or caps that are included, even at the 600 barebones I couldn't see justifying the cost for the canvas to work on, a wireless charger that's useless without a mat that costs God knows how much to take advantage of, and the the led panel are the big stand outs, but everything else is not unique to this board. This is one of those situations where the only reason this board is so expensive is because they choose to make them in small batches, increasing demand, not because they are actually worth the value they are charging, and that is the worst part of about this hobby, and why I'll buy my Clone red samurais from Amazon for 40 dollars, instead of 150 for a base kit and 100 more to get the accents

jimdandyYeah, I mean, you'd already have to know that the switches and keycaps and board and gasket and on and on and on were all exactly what you wanted before being able to justify the price... unless you're just loaded and can't think of anything else to waste money on. Of course, how many keyboards worth of switches did you buy before you found the set you like best? Same with keycap profiles? How many keyboards did you go through before you found one that sat at the right angle? This thing is kinda like deciding you wanted to make all of your mistakes all at the same time. But who knows, maybe it will end up being good enough so that the matrix LED pattern makes you happy. XD

This is an ambitious price. 600 for PC case with SS weight. I don't know if PC case could hold the weight well, but the price for this material is usually lower, given this 65% or 75% form factor.

masnthHi masnth, the reason why we make it PC is to achieve the see-through effect so it fits the theme better. The cost of PC material is indeed lower than the aluminum we used for CYBERBOARD R3s but it actually cost us more to make it PC because they were custom made with low quantity.

Well shit I guess I found a reason to pre-qualify with Affirm. just kidding. Short term financing can be a bad deal.

I thought about this one for a good long while. This is one of those products I like the look of, but could never justify spending that kind of money on. Then I thought about how much I have into a couple of my boards after all the parts and realized this price point isn't so bad. What makes this board worth this kind of money? A few of things; material choices, aesthetics, product features, and a solid dose of hype. Checks many of the functionality boxes enthusiasts are looking for these days like case and PCB foam, gaskets, hot-swap sockets and south facing LEDs. Their charging/power mat that complements their keyboards is probably what interests me the most, but it is hard to find in stock. I personally like the "Matrix" theme going on here and have been intrigued by AM products, but $800 is definitely a tough pill to swallow even if it is a reasonable deal for this particular keyboard.
