This should be supplied to stores like mediamarkt and paradigit. € 40 ,- for a key switch tester that you will probably use one time is stupid. There are tons of people like me that want to go to a store like paradigit or mediamarkt that want to test out key switches.
MinaDarshThat is also something I am quite annoyed by, just like the fact that you can't buy keycaps, cases for your keyboards, or pcb's. Isn't there one store that is dedicated to mechanical keyboards? I don't want to have to buy a 40 $ tester just because I can't test the switches anyware.
PrashBricks-IIIProblem is it's very hard to compete with webshops, and not much demand in the Netherlands at least, one would have to set up a shop and go international from the get-go, which I guess would require quite a starting capital. Would be awesome if someone did get that off the ground.
MinaDarshAgreed. It would probably become a monopolist though, since there is basically no other shop where you can buy keycaps, switches, pcb's, cases, etc. I think something like this would be amazing though.
PrashBricks-IIIDunno, I think it would have to compete very hard world-wide, and that's not going to be easy. Kind of wish I could interest my local computer store to do it as a side-project, since they also jumped on the mining craze. Seems they have enough money for it...
MinaDarshI kind of wish it existed though. It would be nice if you could interest your local computer store, but it probably wouldn't go world-wide unless they invest a lot of money in it or wait a long time.
