Weird z row
I would absolutely love this thing if it didn't have the z-row shifted over really weirdly. I don't know why they did this but it seems to be a common complaint.

PCB died within a week
The PCB has very poor longevity. I took care during soldering and made sure there were no shorts/messes, yet after only a week, it stopped responding. All it does now is glow red.
This was especially upsetting considering how long the kit took to arrive.

Small keyboard with weird bottom row
Mostly, the quality of the board is fine, however do keep in mind the bottom row is slightly moved to the right, which means certain keys are not where you expect them to be. Otherwise, I've made it a daily driver until I find something I like better.

Yes, it's tricky to find the right size keycaps (the 1.25U tab, gosh!) and it's not hot-swap (one could always add sockets) and there isn't a reset button, (but the contact points are there on the bottom of the PCB and MO+ESC works too) and all that stuff.
The bummer was needing to replace two of the surface mount diodes (one looked cracked and the second was just never there in the first place, so I guess technically it couldn't be replaced).
There doesn't seem to be any other issues now that the diodes are squared away. I'll probably come back and add backlight LEDs to hopefully help navigate the regular layer usage, but maybe it will all just make sense.
I'm kinda scared.

crispernakiAh wait where is the reset on the pcb? I flashed the wrong thing onto my bm43a and I have no idea how to reset it.

I had to return them...
I wish I had the chance to build one but the board I got, one of the microchip fell off. Maybe I'll get another chance in the future.

Broken upon arrival
Two keys didn't work when i did test with tweezers. Upon further test, the diodes between these two keys had no continuity.
