Bogdan, I worked at high levels in corporate America, and never once saw 'fast profit and greed' being a driver.
...
I believe you. I can't strictly tell for US companies, but my observation in general is, those (good!) companies that weren't profit motivated enough, ceased to exist. For many that still exist (pick any US consumer electronic brand), the only solution was, to buy asian products and rebrand them. I have nothing against chinese products (far from that!). The problem is, that many times, when we buy such rebranded product, it's usually the cheapest chinese product they could get -to make max profit.
Medeli AK10 keyboard is an example of solid product for the price asked. It's an rare exception that chinese company decided to market the product directly. What do you think, how much would it cost, if it would be rebranded by i.e. Electro Voice?
...I can confim, PA700/1000 keys feel a lot like PSRe keys...
-thank you for confirming, Mark . Ok, PSR keybed (when new) actually isn't bad -the problem is how it degrades over short period of time.
Sometimes I think, that I maybe just expect too much... I mean, there's a reason why PSR isn't ranked as TOTL keyboard. And because I can't afford better, I think I need to learn to accept the reality.
