Why Are WASD Keyboards so Expensive?

So, I own a Corsair K70 RGB keyboard with Cherry Mx Browns which I love.  I hear a lot of good things about WASD keyboards, so I decided to look them over.  One hundred and fifty dollars for their standard keyboard, and only five dollars knocked off for their keyboard without a number pad.  I just think that price is a little ridiculous considering they are kind of bare bones keyboards.  I think that the one hundred dollar price range would be a lot better.  I would buy a WASD keyboard if they were in the one hundred dollar price range.

That is true, I forgot that you can get whatever color key caps you want.

Sadly that usually also means no refund if they're lost in shipping. :(
