I assumed the point was that your comment "dumping a membrane board in the landfill like OP apparently does" was a misrepresentation, as the author was doing the exact opposite of dumping the keyboard in the landfill!

Whether this represents a good or bad use of one's time, who can say. Some things, people do because they enjoy them, even if the activity doesn't make complete economic sense.

OK, you are right. I was focused in on "that’s a decade of $20 keyboards lasting a year each." BUT they didn't actually do that, which is good.
