The feel of a keyboard is important. What you're saying is like saying every chair is the same, because you sit it in, and as long as I can sit in it, that's all that matters. It isn't all that matters. Certain chairs are more comfortable to sit in and certain keyboards are more comfortable to use.

I'm not sure if a nice keyboard is really going to help your SC2 game at all, but I sure know that I like the feel of a nice mechanical keyboard. If you don't want to spend the money or whatever, fine, but don't be dismissive towards the value of something until you've maybe at least given it a try?

How do you know I haven't given it a try? I've been using mechanical keyboards all my early computer life, back in the dos days, my parents still got those keyboards. They're not easier or more comfortable than the keyboards now, just much MUCH louder. Your analogy to a chair doesn't work at all, chairs have different angles of back support, different height to the arm rests, different indentation on the seat, different material and padding that dictate comfort. And let's not forget this comfort is with regards to your lumbar support. The only thing different about this keyboard is the feel of tactile response on the keys which contributes nothing to the function nor the comfort of the keyboard, especially if you consider the comfort you speak of is simply the feeling of your finger pressing a key straight down and nothing more.

2600% price premium for a different tactile response on a keyboard is just absurd.

The keyboard and mouse are how you interface with the computer. You could argue that spending an extra $80 a good keyboard or mouse is going to contribute a lot more to your computing experience than spending that money to get a marginally faster processor.

If it's not worth it to you to spend more than $10 on a keyboard, that's great, but there are people who really prefer mechanical keyboards and to them it's worth the price difference.
