Caye man, you may be booksmart, but you definitely don't have common sense.

One of the main ways of achieving this is by cheapening production costs.
Yes, that's true, but you cannot assume this for every f**king product in the world.
While it's true in general things tend not to last as long as they used to, i'd rather have an awesome keyboard that lasts 3-5 years that some piece of sh*t that lasts forever, haunting me for eternity.
While there may be keyboards that are similar to the k740(I mean most keyboards are similar, they are keyboards it isn't rocket science), they are not the k740, they don't look exactly the same, they don't feel exactly the same.
You talk about budgeting and cheap versions, you think some shitty $10 ripoff of the k740 will be as good and last as long? Please, you may be able to fool some people, but I have personally tested close to 100 keyboards and k740 stands out a mile, for me, for my personal taste, why can't you just respect that?
