Unfortunately, that won’t change the rise in price in new keyboards because all the companies are compelled to accommodate this change on Microsoft’s behalf.
Keyboards are a bundle item. Rarely buy keyboards except people in offices who want a wireless.m+k combo or foreign layout. Desktops always arrive with a keyboard. Every IT dept I ever worked in has piles of them surplus
You’re complaining about how expensive keyboards are getting, and saying you prefer to buy the expensive ones? I think I’ve discovered the source of your problem.
What do you consider expensive? My keyboard was a $120 Das Keyboard. It’s comfortable and it’s also lasted me for many years through multiple computers.
I’m not sure why you think investing in a comfortable keyboard is any different from investing in a comfortable chair. Sure, I could buy a chair for $20 at Big Lots, but I don’t want to be uncomfortable when I sit for more than 20 minutes.

If you want to settle for a cheap shitty keyboard, fine. Many of us would rather invest in a nice one.
He means for business, I imagine.
You can go to your IT department and they’ll often just give you one. Great to have around as a spare.

But why? A cheap one does exactly the same job without the loud clicking of a mechanical one to drive your coworkers nuts.
I was never a fan of them before, but I hate them now that I work in an open office workspace.
A bomb and a lambo do the same job too but I know which one I’d rather drive.
Also, this doesn’t just affect work keyboards bundled with workstations, it affects the entire keyboard industry.
I mean… comfort?
Don’t get a clicky mechanical keyboard then
How to say you don’t know anything about mechanical keyboard without saying you don’t know anything about mechanical keyboards (:
You can get linear switches that don’t make the clicky sounds.
