dukiepookieIts too god damn much actually think about what your paying for. The wood is more expensive than your keyboard i would only buy this for 75$
JtragicSee thats exactly how I fell. I could buy nice wood and just make something similar. My grandfather has a wood shop. My craftsmanship wont be nearly as good but still not bad
owlhatsDatamancer is a very small business located in California; it's not like they're mass producing thousands of these in China. You're not just paying just for the wood.. You're paying for the design, superb craftsmanship, business overhead, etc. Plus which, they ARE people in the community. They just had a So. Cal mechanical keyboard meetup, and have had multiple drops here.
But by all means, make your own! It'd be a great learning experience and tons of fun.
Sorry if this seems ranty, I get upset when people complain about Datamancer's prices as if they're being ripped off or Datamancer is making a fortune.
PoorBobI think the price is totally justified, it's just completely out of my price range, which of course isn't Datamancer's fault. I'm not discrediting them. It's more or less my bitterness of not being able to afford it, lol
PoorBobYeah don't worry about it everyone has their opinion i respect yours. Its just god damn shit is more expensive than my pok3r and my quickfire rapid.
