Are there a couple of extra keyboards I get that you didn't list for $500??!!
I'm a mechanical engineer/product designer. DROP is listing that items are "hand placed". That does not add $300 in extra cost. On top of that, how else are foam and lube added to other keyboards? It's not automated so this can't be the cost driver. Ceramic coated frame... that's not a $300 per case process.
DROP- please give us some details on this cost.
