I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard

I guess it’s intended to be “iconic”, but, well, being iconic often also means increasing the ratio of people who actively dislike it.

Sure but these types of keyboards are niche and not likely to hit mass production. The font on the number keys reminds me of OP-1, a niche luxury synth with a hefty price tag. It’s a good market to budge in because select people are willing to dispense larger sums of money. I wonder how much this one costs.

It believe it significantly reduces the number of potential buyers for an already-niche product.
