The central tenet of advertising is consumerism = happy

32GB of DDR4 3200Mhz cost me $115 in October, now the listing is out of stock and says $392. 240% increase.

I realized Das Keyboard has a ton of USB hub keebs :)

Always happy to clarify and add more info, thank you.

I threw in ‘standard ergonomic’ because it was a search tool often - I just meant I want a normal keyboard design, rectangular, single space bar, etc. The standard ergonomic preference didn’t need to be included

The USB passthrough seems big with gaming keyboards, letting me plug my trackball in conveniently. Just a preference thing. Considering a USB hub or something instead but I’ve seen a fair number of them still available.

The audio passthrough sure is rarer and allows easier setup or removal of the headset. It’s nice to have the audio jack at desk level instead of near the ground.

Budget wise I’m happy to pay up to roughly 200 USD, but hopefully less since I’m not trying to find anything too fancy overall.

I often end up regretting a lack of a numpad as they come in handy in some sim games, or as alternate keybinds in whatever I’m playing.
