DataLet me tell you, if @dvorcol was making graphs for MassDrop, they'd have the best graphs. Tremendous graphs, all the best graphs we've ever seen and the best colors, really people.
Way better than the graphs that we are seeing from MassDrop, let me tell you. If @dvorcol was to create a graph just based on this comment, it would be the most tremendous, amazing graph. Really the best graphs people.

dvorcolIm a bit confused about the graphs. For instance $40 @ 100 ... $35 @ 1000 to me reads $40/piece for 0 to 100 pieces but that would be $4000 for 100 pieces. Which means 1000 pieces would cost $35,000 O_O!
There doesn't seem to be any other way to interperate the above. Then for a single 108 key Ergo Pro Keyset it should cost over $10,000.
Is this correct? As of writing this reply the price of one gram of gold is $43.03 [1] and the average weight of a standard OEM profile TaiHao doubleshot keycap is about ~1.2g[2]. Given these numbers and the above graph it would seem that MiTo keycaps (on average) out price gold by weight.

rootduckWell you're not wrong. Sometimes plastic key caps are worth more than gold... by weight. It's a curious side effect of scaled manufacturing. The graph shows the price per set at a particular order quantity milestone. 100, 200, 1000, etc are pricing tiers at which all orders receive a price reduction. The smallest number is typically the "minimum order quantity" (MOQ) for a particular set to be made. Every quantity after that is a threshold that makes the set cheaper. More orders, cheaper sets. Generally speaking... :)

rootduckI thought about leaving off the "@qty" part to make it cleaner, but then it has less information. I also considered using "@ ≥ qty" but the extra length makes the graph even more busy, and many more would have to be tacked on outside the cost bar. So this was my compromise.
Just curious, do you find the meaning more clear on Massdrop's spreadsheet?

dvorcolI was thinking per key when I should have thought per set which makes a lot more sense. Probably no one else is stupid like me and read it wrong so your graphing system is fine. For dumb people like me you could change the title to “massdrop MiTo pulse SA 04/10/18 pricing per set”. But I’m sure that if anyone is confused they will read these comments so it’s not needed lol

rootduckTechnically "per kit" is more correct. I consider the whole drop to be a set of kits, and each kit has its own pricing.

dvorcolJust to muddy the waters, I called them all "packs" for Danger Zone. :D

DataYou called the kits "packs", right? I've never seen that before...
[Edit: just looked at your Danger Zone drop and saw "pack" is indeed used instead of "kit", while the whole thing is still called a "set". Is "pack" a military term in keeping with that set's theme?]
