Review on Acrylic Double Deck Platform Mechanical Keyboard by Michael Nastanovich

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very switch dependent nothing missing

I have this to make a bunch of JWK Alpacas for an upcoming build. It worked, but the switches didn't sit properly flat and even fell through. It could still be used, but it's not ideal for JWK switches. I've tried a few Kailhs and Gaterons and both fit the cutouts well. I know they never claim what JWK switches are capable of, so I'm not kidding them, but they're very popular right now, so I'm just warning anyone who might be able to get it for them. 2 stars because it's reasonable at best. Acrylic or whatever comes with laser printed paper. There is room for 33 switches, but only 22 shafts and springs. The brushes are absolutely awful, and you could probably do better with a stick, some glue, and some of your own hair. The grip is fine and the switch opener is actually pretty good. All in all, it's serviceable, but the overall package is completely devoid of hassle and planning. At under $20, you probably aren't expecting much, but you'll probably still feel ripped off like me, and that in itself is the most impressive part of what they've done here.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
