Yes, allow me to riddle my computer and its peripherals with the same cheap RGB junk that everybody else already isputting on their builds so that I can post pictures of it onto Reddit to receive gamer points from other people doing the exact same thing. It's not wow factor by any means, people who are remotely interested in builds or gaming or anything either likely already have the same sort of build and won't care, will not care at all, or will be like me and be put off by it, and people who aren't remotely interested will probably feign fake interest over it except they aren't remotely interest as I said so they won't care. I wasn't calling the lights Taiwanese plastic, although they certainly aren't impressive, the peripherals themselves are trash plastic mechanisms designed with absolutely zero craftsmanship by workers across the world that are making starvation wages.
Now you go and compare that to an IBM Model M, you 1. won't see it break or malfunction in however long those crappy mechanisms hold 2. won't have the blinding RGB lights that strain your eyes at night and prevent you from getting any sleep when you have lights in your room 3. won't be ugly because of the nice beige which doesn't highlight every little hair present on the keyboard and also has some class 4. has real American craftsmanship and a beautiful mechanism which appropriately clicks when you press it exactly how it should with no malfunctions 5. will actually be unique & creative unlike all the RGB builds everybody "just has to have."
Also, there is no such thing as a "high end keyboard". You see an RGB keyboard on sale for $30, you see one for $100. The difference between them? Who cares, it's the same pile of junk, hell I think the cheaper ones may even break less than the expensive ones. People that are unironically invested in how "cool" their rig looks and buy the expensive peripherals are just falling into the worst trap of consumerism, doing exactly what the companies promoting wage slavery overseas want you to do, brainlessly wasting valuable cash on nothing. You can't even attribute the peripherals breaking to just "they're made overseas", products made overseas can be of the highest quality, ever think that maybe the companies just want you to buy more products? Is it unreasonable for a company to do exactly what the economy requires them to do in order to manipulate supply & demand to yield themselves higher dividends?
It's so bizarre the lengths at which people will go to in order to fall into every little consumerist trap that's set forth and defend it to no end. Nobody cares about real craftsmanship, it's all about "looking cool" by doing the exact same thing everybody else is doing, with no regard for the consequences in having an economy which thrives upon such a thing.
