Drop's new mechanical keyboards go up to $500:

High-end mechanical keyboard and PC peripherals brand Drop (formerly Massdrop) today revealed its next lineup of prebuilt mechanical keyboards. The brand added options to three different series, with its most premium one, Paragon, priced at a whopping $500 apiece.

In addition to making its own products, Drop has a shop where keyboard fanatics can get everything from mechanical keyboard switches to unique and artisan keycaps, stabilizers, and even fancy, detachable cables. The keyboards released today are supposed to make it easier for people who don't want to build their own clacker to get an enthusiast-level option without having to deal with group buys, which take many months before you actually get a product in hand.

[...] Drop's Paragon keyboards are currently available for preorder but aren't expected to start shipping until around November 15.

    Got it. So if I have my touchpad emit a "click" noise when I use it, it is by definition a "mechanical" keyboard. (Anticipating your objection, I will also note that my touchpad gives me feedback when I use it; the harder I press on it, the harder it provides me a resistive force).

    Mechanical keyboards have nothing to do with "tech-nerd," by the way in that it is some superficial quality akin to whether some design has rounded corners makes it "tech-nerd" appropriate. Whether YOU may or may not have a fascination with them doesn't make it not worthy of explanation. The world may appear to revolve around you from your perspective, but rest assured it does not.
