Perfect out of the box, exceptional mod

(I'm a mechanical keyboard enthusiast so don't take this too seriously.) Damn good. It's pretty solid out of the box, it's really sturdy despite the outer casing being all plastic. The disassembly process isn't too bad, only 8 screws connect the panel to the bottom of the case, there are two heights of fold-out feet if you like them, and some sturdy rubber feet. with them, and while they're definitely prickly, the experience isn't terrible because the stabilizers are kind of oily. It wasn't as good as I'd like, but it's a lot better than the Logitech/Redragon keyboards I've had in the past. I personally lubricated the switches and stabilizers and replaced the keycaps with Drop Skylight. slate caps and I am very happy with the results. Did some bad sound tests for personal use but it would probably be nice to include them. Please know that sway bars aren't the best, I've struggled with them for too long since it's my first time lubricating shock absorbers so after a while I just wanted something I can handle now. We also apologize for the minimal noise level and noticeable noise reduction in the smear test.

  • Stable test results
