Imho this could be the basic, no frills, mechanical keyboard. But for what it offers, it needs to be priced at $50 or so.
I mean, for the asking price you can get the fastest quad-core Ryzen (1300X) these days.

A good set of double-shot translucent PBT keycaps cost $30 plus, so your $50 is too low

There are keyboards without any backlighting and worse build quality that go higher than $50, so it's just the state of things today.

I know keycaps are ridiculously expensive. But for what they do, that's what I feel is the right price.
I mean, at $50 we're still talking 3-5x the cost of a decent membrane keyboard while not getting 3-5x the productivity in return.
