I feel like this sort of broad-brush can be applied to almost all communities larger than a trivial size. Guns, cars, collectibles.

There are pockets of elitism where people are comfortable in their insular group and use it as a status symbol. But there are plenty of welcoming subgroups; it's just that they may take a little digging.

For keyboards, RGBKB, customMK, and Zenclack have been some of my favorite little Discord communities.

Agreed. I also like the BastardKB community, and happily own one of the keyboards: https://bastardkb.com/.
