  Well...  We've all had people say such things to us.  I was once questioned over spending $500 on a keyboard by a relative who had just spend $10,000 on a wedding.  Ten grand... to walk up a church aisle dressed like an Edwardian lamp shade. To make matters even more laughable she's now divorced.  She never mentions keyboards any more.
  Do what makes you happy.
context: It's funny to me, when I see people balk at the price of peripherals, while being perfectly willing to throw away considerably larger amounts of money/hour, to pursue their own entertainment choices.
  Assuming you use that $200 keyboard for even as little as 4 hours a week, and throw it away at the end of the first year, that will cost you less than $1/hour of use.
  That $1/hour looks downright affordable, to me, when you compare it to the cost/hour of a movie, a concert, a sporting event, going to a bar, gambling, golfing, etc... >
  
  Great! Word of advice, just don’t look at anything else at this subreddit and keep moving. Be happy with your purchase and keep moving. >
  
  Soon there will be lubing switches, sanding down the stems so the key caps don't wobble as much, holee mod, etc ;-) I started just about 1 month ago and already own 4 keyboards worth several hundred USD. I bet by the end of the year I will own at least 10 keyboard, have done every mod possible and also figured out my own ones. This subreddit is dangerous. >
  
  People sand down stems on switches?? I've never heard of that before, how does it work? >
  
  I bet people do. At least I do. I sand down the mount part because some switches make the key caps wobble. If you notice that, just sand down the mount on the stem a bit and it will sit flatter. For example Glorious Pandas are really bad. They make the keys with stabs extremely wobbly. >
  
  This is a slippery slope you're going on.
  I have spent way more than I'm willing to admit on keyboards. >
  
  Congrats on both school and the keyboard!
