Do not buy. in my review

When you spend good money on a custom mechanical keyboard, you expect to get quality parts.Keyboard worked day 1 no issues, went to sleep, and woke up the next day to a dead keyboard.Suspecting PCB is trashed somehow.
After searching around on Reddit, seems like a very common problem.

Pros

Best 40% ortho I've tried so far

Cons

The DIY aspect of assembling the kit may be overwhelming for those who lack technical skills

Originally got this product due to its aesthetic rather than function. However, Once I started using it, I feel this is my preferred layout as oppose to a more standard keyboard. It took some time to learn, but I am now just as, if not more, efficient with this layout. Only downside are gamers that requires the number row. I am not one of them, so this is also my main keyboard for the games I play. Even if I requires extra keys, the programable PCB makes it easy to reassign surrounding buttons for respective games.
