Keyboards are recipes with varying proportions of ergonomics, style, DIY “hacking” ... depending on the person.
It’s an accessible hobby, requiring less time, skills and resources than drone racing or woodworking...
So you don’t “have to” spend money if it does not scratch an itch nor bring any satisfaction.
Fashion aside I love those small grid programmable keyboards. I don’t care too much about style, though my wife loves the plank ez “discokeyboard” as she says.
