A keyboard for $3,400 – what's that kind of money for? An enthusiast has been creating an electrically capacitive keyboard with silent stabilizers for five years

Will be ready in the summer

Mechanical keyboards can cost $200-300, and various custom builds can be two to three times more expensive. But the creator of the Seneca keyboard seems to have decided to immediately set an all-time record. His device will cost about $3,400. 

The keyboard is not mechanical, but electrically capacitive. It looks as neutral as possible and is made in retro style. And they are asking a cosmic price for quite tangible technologies.  

Клавиатура за 3400 долларов — за что такие деньги? Энтузиаст пять лет создаёт электроемкостную клавиатуру с бесшумными стабилизаторами

The point is that the author of the project decided to create a keyboard with absolutely silent stabilizers. Even expensive mechanical keyboards have certain problems with this, but Seneca allegedly won’t. 

On the project website you can look at exactly how this problem should be solved, and it is clear that the mechanisms inside the keys are really quite complex. If we add to this the lack of mass production and five years of development — This is the record price.
