1. $79.00 vs. $3.99
...for a bottle of black spraypaint, or maybe a bottle of white out (or a Sharpie)

3. There's a lollipop born every minutes...
I just bought a keyboard that looks the same for $9.00 clearance.

It's got letters inked onto it, but it's just as ergnonomically UNFRIENDLY.

I'll spend $40 for a good keyboard instead. And get the free inked lettering too! :D

2. And NOT having the keyboard inscribed is bad because...?
I once did an interview with former Dokken guitarist George Lynch, who had posed for a photo with a guitar that had no fret markers. I jokingly complained that the picture was very demoralizing for us guitar god wannabees, and thankfully he said, "Are you kidding? I couldn't PLAY that guitar--I'd get lost!" I was SO relieved!

6. Get it down to $30 and they'll sell a million of them
It's too expensive as it is, but at $30 typing teachers would buy them by the case.
