Very disappointed - not quite DIY

Looks like a good case but I don't understand how sellers can call it "DIY" when even the panel is removed, it's forbidden. There are metal caps on the screws so I can't attach the stabilizers or change the plate. I am very disappointed and will be sending it back as soon as possible

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • boring packaging

Outstanding Board 60% for Custom Designs

Grab a different case, your favorite caps and switches and get started. If you search GitHub, there's also custom firmware there if you're worried about downloading a program to change your layout. As far as I know the only problem with this board is that you can't change layer 1 which can be a bummer. Aside from that, I get a lot of these for a quick budget build.

Pros
  • Best in its Niche
Cons
  • Nothing

Don't buy these barebones.

The main problem was in the RGB program - you can't find it on the internet. The second problem is that it MUST have Bluetooth, but it doesn't work. The third problem is that there is no height adjustment. Stabilizers are prickly and hard. Finally, the position of the screws is terrible. When I removed the switches from the case, the screws prevented me from accessing one of the locks on the switch. This has happened to many switches. All in all, this is a terrible barebones and I don't…

Pros
  • The delivery was very fast
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

Cannot grease contacts or remove PCB

Not bad overall, the case is thicker than I thought it would be and pretty good quality for the price. But I'm deeply disappointed that I can't remove the board from the case due to rivets/metal caps on half of the screws. I think greasing the stabilizers will improve the keyboard a lot, but unfortunately I can't do that unless I use a screw drill to get them out. I'm pretty sure on previous models you could actually take the circuit board out, so I really don't see why you would do that with a

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Only available in black

THE BEST FOR BEGINNERS in Computers & Accessories

Where do I begin to say this is the best DIY kit for beginners? Band but all other stabilizers sound great. If you want a quick keyboard builder, this is for you! Did my first official build with it, I've modified it before so it's pretty nice to have a base build. of these things can be found on Amazon.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend

Precio/calidad bueno

El precio en base a funcionamiento y calidad esta bien, es una plata pequeña, basta buena.La carcasa esta bien hecho, es de Plastico duro y no pesa mucho. El acabado de pintura esta bastante bien. Lo unico en contra es que no hay teclas defidas para ponerle, ya que las teclas shit, fn, mayus son de diferente tamaño a las que se venden comunmente, entonces es necesario primer buscar unas teclas acordes al tamaño del cases. los estabilidores de las teclas enter, backspace and shit esta bien. Pero

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Exchange availability

Keyboards, mice and accessories at a good price

A great keyboard for those who want to try their hand at making a custom board. I took off a star because the stabilizers are on the plates and poorly lubricated. But after replacing some lubricated PC board mount stabilizers (if you have them laying around don't waste your money on them, just lubricate and fix those stabilizers), this board sounds really good. I built it using novelty boxing creams. And a set of Gliging Olivia keycaps. By the way, I see a couple of reviews that say you can't…

Pros
  • A good thing
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Solid barebones mechanical keyboard for beginners

If you're looking for a barebones mechanical keyboard for beginners with lots of great features, this is a solid option. It features RGB, hot-swappable switches, and USB-C. Despite what others say in their reviews, you can break it down into its component parts. The plate and the board can be separated, you just need to remove it from the case first. To do this you will need to remove all the screws including the ones for the spacer and then starting at the corners next to the spacer you will…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
