The Ultimate keyboard (that hasn't been made yet...)

 So after buying waaay too many keyboards, I've come to the conclusion that the ultimate keyboard with ALL of the features doesn't exist yet, and maybe it's because manufacturing such a beast would be a nightmare and maybe nobody would buy it?  Here's my laundry list though of things I'd want on it and the current keyboard with that function:

  • Hot swappable sockets for magnetic or mechanical switches (FUN60 Ultra TMR)
  • Magnetic ball catch mechanism for taking off the case (Evo80)
  • A multifunction knob with a touch screen in it (Freya)
  • A custom weight plate (Zoom65 V3)
  • A variety of Positioning plates - Alu, FR4, CF, PC, PP, POM, Brass, Cu
  • A place to store the 2.4G dongle (Zoom65 V3) with a separate magnetic plate
  • A place to store a keycap puller (Steelseries Apex Pro)
  • QMK/VIA (Evo80)
  • All settings including macros stored on keyboard (like QMK/VIA)
  • Web based HE configuration (Wooting 80HE, Nuphy Field 75 HE)
  • 7 mounting styles (Zoom65 V3) + Leaf Spring option, maybe "Le Tray" mount option
  • It should sound thocky (Chilkey ND75)
  • North or South facing RGB (FUN60)
  • HE features: RT, Actuation distance, SOCD, DKS, MT, HT
  • Change Profile switch (Nuphy Air75HE)
  • Change 2.4G/BT/USB switch
  • 2 x 4000mAh batteries
Hmm did I miss anything? Maybe a TFT screen below completely transparent keycaps so you can customize your "virtual keycaps" like a Flux Keyboard... Not sure I would go for that or not.. If they can actually release the Flux Keyboard and produce it, it would be wild since I think it will do most of what I've mentioned above.. Plus it has modular components so you can add switches, keys and displays on the fly! (If they can actually make it of course.. ) Anyway what would you pay for the "Ultimate" keyboard? I'd say it would need to be just under $200 to make it really worth it, but I know that'll never happen. I'd be willing to pay up to $500 though I guess since it doesn't exist yet.
