A thought that’s been stuck in my head the last few days is how quickly the mech keyboard world would fall apart, freed from the bonds of capital.
If no one was worrying about money, would so many people obtain the same 60% keyboard over and over again so they could load it up with whatever rare key switches and caps are cool this month? Would the year+ long pre-orders of the same gmk profile caps in a new colorway even exist? Or would folks finally settle in on what they need to do the computer thing, rather than display their disposable wealth? Would those of us on the accessibility side finally get a word in edgewise?
And then, would we even still be able to buy parts? I think it’s possible the only reason we can do this accessibility thing is because we’re being subsidized by r/mk and the like.
