ADATA coats keyboard with gold in Thailand

[williamcll]

Over at the Thailand game show a few days ago, XPG showcased their new SUMMONER keyboard, while the standard model doesn't look much different compared to other gaming keyboard of popular brands, a gold version is also seen at the convention, right down the base and volume controls. I can't find any english news about this keyboard outside a reddit post so here's a google translated article:

IT House October 27th News From October 25th to October 27th, at the largest Thai video game show in Southeast Asia, Adata showed the XPG SUMMONER Summoner E-sports keyboard.

According to reports, the ADATA XPG SUMMONER Summoner E-sports keyboard uses the CHERRY MX RGB mechanical axis, which is officially said to have excellent stability and sensitive feedback. The gold keyboard exposed in the Thai Game Show uses K-gold rust-resistant, non-deformable and non-destructive physical characteristics, and is made of 24K gold. In addition, Adata also launched XPG's first 4D printing esports mouse XPG HEADSHOT, which can be completely tailored according to individual palm size and usage habits and needs. The XPG HEADSHOT's sensors are up to 16,000 DPI and are ergonomically designed.

At present, Adata has not announced the price of new products and the release time.

Thoughts: Will anyone really buy this? It would make a great holy $hit episode.

Eh, it's not really worth too much. The amount of gold on that thing is likely around $1.50 or so. Though, for whatever reason companies love charging ludicrous amounts of money for gold plated stuff because people think it holds much more value than it does.

I want a stainless steel keyboard. Something with a bit of weight to it. Maybe cast iron. Something I can use as a cricket bat. I want a cricket bat keyboard.

Without following any of the sources, it is unclear to me what this is.

 

Solid gold caps? Expensive...

Gold played metal/plastic? Meh.
