I would really need a way to try before I buy for the prices being changed. I’m not sold on the rubber dome switches, especially at that price. For years I heard people rave about the HHK, which I think uses slightly similar switches. I almost bought one on reviews alone, but held off. While visiting Japan, I ran into them for sale at a shop and was able to try it out. I didn’t like it at all. I wouldn’t want to have that experience with a small batch product that costs $3,600. I’d feel obligated to keep it and learn to like it.
The Seneca isn't using rubber dome switches as the wording implies, it's using capacitive switches (like some HHKs) which includes a rubber dome as part of the component. It is not the same kind of switch as you would find on free keyboards.
I really enjoyed Adam Savage's video about these keyboards.

I would have to have at least ten times as much money in my bank account to even consider one. $8000 is firmly in "Rolls Royce but for typing" territory. Even the $3600 model is outlandish. I get it, though...
