I think they said the space bar was 35 oz, which is 4500.00usd at ~ 133 per oz. Which kind of make sense how Chinese/asian journalists might mix up the conversion rate, I know when I was in korea and Japan, it felt like I was a millionaire, but in reality they just represent smallest denominations of currency differently.

kyzarvs Regardless of the mistakes in the article I think I'd just prefer a bonus thanks. Drop 4k in my pension pot as a thank you and I'll appreciate it a whole lot more than a keycap… Reply

You should read the article: "21 keycaps were gifted, worth up to $45,000 each" Gold is currently around $4k per troy ounce (~31g). A $45k keycap would weigh like 350g. The switch spring would not be able to hold the key up, as the operating force is typically under 100g. They were likely given these just as a differently shaped gold bar, never intended to be used as an actual key cap. Reply
