So the RE2 remake special edition comes with an (while very nice) extremely overpriced keyboard in the shape of a typewriter. The full pack goes for around $900 while the keyboard on it's own is around $675 (full description of the packs available below).

However, the keyboard is actually the QwerkywriterS and retails for around $250 from the manufacturer, minus the RE2 stickers-would you still pay close to $1K just for all the extra stuff or is this going too far?

The keyboard retails for 75,000 yen (approximately $675 USD) by itself, and is compatible with your PC, Mac, or tablet. For 82,800 yen ($750) you also get a copy of the game and a typewriter ribbon prop. The piece de resistance is the 99,00 yen ($900) copy, which includes the typewriter keyboard, four ribbons, and the boxed collector's edition of the game. That collector's edition comes with a poster, artbook, soundtrack CD, Leon Kennedy figure, collector's box, and a code for additional DLC, and goes for a more reasonable 24,800 ($225).

woof, that's way too expensive. The typewriter is pretty cool though, but not ~$700 cool

Yeah I had to force myself to close the store tab on the manufacturer's site. Very cool and some nice features but I simply don't need it lol The game is looking great though, can't wait for that.

I like typewriters, but any joy they bring is mostly just from hearing and seeing the mechanical actions. I don't really have any desire for a typewriter shaped keyboard.

At that price, it really should.

I wouldn't buy it, but if some fan or collector wants to spend their money it's none of my concern.

As typewriter related things go, it's a decent effort with the pleasantly noisy mechanical keys, scroll wheel on the platen knob and the carriage return handle mapped to enter/return by default, plus it's got a tablet stand. The videos on the manufacturer's site show that it was made by typewriter fans but I just can't justify $250 for something I know I'm not really going to use, let alone $900 lol

I'm barely considering maybe getting the game once the price comes down, if I happen to be in the right mood at the right time and it catches me just right.

There's pretty much zero chance I'm buying any special edition of it.

Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things.
It's called garbage can, not garbage cannot.
