Producing keyboards is really expensive. I know a larger organisation that did just that, the prices were in the parity of 800 USD/keyboard in larger series. Though maybe there are cheaper ways?, the pcb is cheap, the conductive rubber mat likely too. I think the real cost comes from precision molding many keys. the absolute cheapest is to modify existing keyboards.
Wow, so expensive !!!
I always wandered why hasn't someone done this already. I guess I know now.
But we actually need only the motherboards, controllers, cables... What else is failing ? We already have the keys and shells.
