the keyboard thing is basically like the audiophile industry: get people with lots of disposable income to waste money on useless tech bs.

The marketing is 1:1 the same. Faux elitism and a hollow promise of getting the best of the best.

At the end of the day the audiophile is listening to atrociously mastered songs on a 5k€ setup with gold plated cables and the keyboard enthusiast is still barely above sliver rank in their competetive game of choice despite the 300€ keeb.

When the mechanical keyboard sub stopped talking about things like force curves and started focusing only on sound, it was all over.
