I own this KB. Just a small opinion.
The stabilizers are sooo goood. IDK if it's only my sample (lubed it right away), but I don't hear any springs at all, only the bumps done by brown switches. Compared to my brown poker, it's way more silent, and I actually liked the dampenders alot more on this keyboard.
However, the programmability is.. restricted? I couldn't get my common "caps as fn, ijkl arrows" layout (maybe I did not pay enough attention to it). There are macros, but do not expect to map everything as you typically do on other keyboards
IMO, a great keyboard for it's price. I currently use it in the office, and noone yet told me it's loud (as it was with my poker)

nutscrackerHey just wondering about the progammability. Does the keyboard store the layouts so that you can program in once and then use the layouts on any computer or are the layouts stored on the computer making them computer specific?

guysbryantJust checked. It seems that after I close the software all the settings are reverted back to default. I've found button "download profile to keyboard", but still, after closing the software everything is back to normal
Maybe there's a way, I've only spent about five minutes with the software, but it means that it's not intuitive. Try searching more, maybe someone succeeded :)

nutscrackerAlso I don't see anything like Poker's function layers, so it does not seem possible to remap IJKL as arrows... I's say you should check something more "programmable" out, but it may be more expensive.

nutscrackerThanks for taking the time to test this out for me. I went with the Massdrop CTRL keyboard. It does exactly what I want and is easy to configure.

cjkcsuSorry for misunderstanding, it was already lubed when I got it, and I only lubed the stabs once again. It sounded great
As for lubing, if you want to lube the switches, you should disassemble them to do it. I've experimented a bit with lubing keyboards without removing switches, and got interesing results. Although they were getting way more silent (and pleasant to type, as for me), I find this way very barbaric, and it seems that it might hurt the keyboard. One switch on my keyboard was not working properly for a couple of days after that
