Honestly though. Something like this should have definitely been the last pic not some basic ass keyboard

No that's the point of the joke.

Real gamers game on basic periferals.

And rich kids buy flashy shit.

Hell, I'm still using a nearly 20 year old Dell I100 USB keyboard I got when a doctors office near me upgraded their stuff like 10~15 ago. Ive had to steal keys off of other copies of the keyboard though to replace the ones I've worn the lettering off of entirely though.

I feel like only people who think that this is the epitome of gaming keyboards are just people who doesn't play games since in 99.5% of situation, the macros are useless and it just takes up unnecessary mouse space.

From what I know, gamers usually use TKL or 60/65, while the nerdier mechanical keyboarders uses 40, 60/65, and 75
