Great board with even more potential [Updated]

I'm not currently using original keyswitches or original keycaps. The original keycaps were fine though, nothing special and I think the switches were pretty good, I preferred the Gateron and MX Brown ones I've used before. I deducted a star for the poor 2.4GHz band, although I use Bluetooth and haven't had any issues with it so far. The stabilizers on this board are surprisingly good and don't rattle too much. I may oil them in the future but they are good. Battery life has been excellent so far, and the RBG seemed to work fine when I tried it, although I always turned the LEDs off to save battery. The detachable bezel is very good, although it's warped a little so there's a visible gap due to the slightly curved centerpieces. I used this on windows but tried mac mode and it seems the keys are mapped correctly for mac. Overall, this board is definitely worth the $80 I paid for it, and with the switches I installed (Gateron Kangaroo ink) and some thicker PBT keycaps, this is the best typing experience I've ever had. Update: I modified this keyboard slightly. now and there are some additional reviews. These stabilizers have a lot of potential, once fixed, lubricated and added some tape or bandage to tighten the fit they sound very good. Replacing the keycaps with thicker ones will really help this keyboard sound great. The battery life was fantastic, and I loved being able to easily swap out the switches. The removable frame sometimes makes my white room sound more hollow and reverberant, but I don't like the look of the board without it so I leave it on. The frame was also slightly deformed, but after a month I stopped paying attention to it. Overall definitely a great board that I would recommend to anyone but especially keyboard lovers on a budget.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Too blunt
