Reply to comment by Noob4Head in Birthday Present for My 73-Year-Old Dad (Custom Q6) by MelkieOArda

Because it’s nice to get your parents nice things if they’ve taken care of you?

Yes, I'm not talking about that but why a keyboard?

EDIT: It's possible but I've not seen many 73 y/o keyboard enthusiasts out there. Just seems like a strange present imo.

He mentioned in the post that his dads old keyboard has died, this is expensive I agree, but this will most definitely last him a lot longer and be much nicer to use.

Yeah but then again why get him a fully custom build keyboad.
I can't imagine that he cares about lubed switches and a fully modded keyboard. He probably uses it to type a little he's not a typist or something. Honestly to me this more seems like a selfish keyboard build than a wonderful present ... yes you can get your parents nice things but to him a keyboard is probably a keyboard.

Oh and he’s a published author (20k-ish physical copies sold), and beats me on monketype: 80wpm corrected.
