Oh I realize. I was alluding more to the fact that when it was first announced it was for like $200 bucks... which was still pretty steep, but seemed reasonable since each key was indeed mechanical (not a lame touchscreen or flat keyboard, which we all know is not good for extended typing) and each sported it's own OLED. The kick in the balls came after many delays when they started taking preorders, and jacked up the price to $1500! Keep in mind, the specs didnt really change from inception to release.

I've been following the project for years now. Shame it's not cheaper, otherwise I'd pick it up.

but for $1600 bucks!?!? Thats more than my pc cost! I'd have to wait until at LEAST under the $300 mark. Cause really... like I don't know all my photoshop shortcuts and half-life 2 binds already.

Yea, but this one has physical keys. The problem with typing on a flat surface is that it is rough on your fingers after awhile.
