So compact that its hard to go back to normal sizes.

Seriously its like the opposite of once you go black. Once you go planck its hard to go back to a different board for the same purposes. The ortholinear layout feels natural and the depth takes some getting used to but its highly usable and incredibly customizable. I'm talking you got 16 layers you can tap into using QMK configuration. Definitely suggest for someone looking for a new experience or a neat keyboard or honestly someone looking for optimizing their desk space. If you still want a numberpad, you can actually make a whole layer just for a number pad. Want a specific key that isn't on there already? Add it using the QMK config. Its great.Warning, this keyboard may make you want to make your own keyboard.

Pros

Nice and compact

Cons

The 40% ortholinear layout may not be suitable for those who prefer a more traditional keyboard layout

The PCB is dead and the keyboard does not work. I bought it used "like new" no doubt someone else had the same problem before me. I''ve seen reviews elsewhere and people claim to have the same problem. DON''T BUY! You''ll probably get a non-working keyboard. And if you buy used you might just get my returned keyboard lmao.
