This configuration is wildly unbalanced and expensive.

It seems that the mechanical keyboard alone is a large part of the cost.

I do agree this is a very niche product.

$314 if you want a model with a fully assembled keyboard or $269 for a version without keycaps and key switches

with just the $45 difference, I doubt it's about the keyboard.

That's true. But it adds up.

And it is a small batch project, even outside of IT, small batch is always pricey.
