Be nicer to Burt G.

I'm not sure that competition makes any difference in this space.

If you mean more mass produced keyboards then yes, that keyboard is cheaper because they have produced 1000x+. I don't think aio3, noxary and hiney were making huge profits with their small batch runs.

Things like economies of scale, market conditions in raw materials ( ie. Alu,.brass, copper) PCB production cost and availability of components, logistic costs, etc are all at play.

We are finally seeing prices of all raw materials drop since the onset of the pandemic and component levels stabilize.

That being said, I do enjoy the amount of available options.
