$28,000 keyboard needs to go on sale a few hundred times

but if you just sell one...

$28,000 keyboard needs to go on sale a few hundred times: "

I guarantee that there is absolutely nothing a keyboard could possibly offer that would justify a $28,000 price tag. But hey, that isn't stopping a company named Fairlight from trying, as that's exactly how much their new XYNERGI keyboard will set you back.



At that price, they aren't really targeting normal consumers, but rather media professionals like video editors who would appreciate having customizable keys and a fancy screen on the top of their keyboard. What makes it so fancy is that all the keys have little screens on them, switching up based on whatever function they're representing. It's certainly slick, and probably useful to editors, but $28,000 worth of useful? Somehow I doubt it.
