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.
