Incredible value for money

I wanted to give this 3-4 stars since its not QMK compatible and doesn't really have a lot in the way of build options. But it's $60 FREAKING DOLLARS FOR AN ALUMINUM HOT-SWAP KEYBOARD!!! I can forgive a lot for that. The case is pretty much empty except for some very thin and porous foam. You'll want to disassemble the board to insert the switches due to the crazy mattress-like flex of the board and plate. It doesn't sound great unless you use the Tempest mod. I also added a layer of Killmat which helped a bit with the sound and reduced the flex to more sane levels. I wish that the colours were brighter. Black was more of a charcoal and the green is extremely pale. I think that it's going to be hard to match caps to all of the various colours. Here is mine with the GMK Lime set. It makes the GMK's green look positively neon by contrast. Might match okay with the LOTR Rivendell set, too.

Hefty, satisfying keyboard at a great price

This keyboard surprised me with how satisfying it was to use! I wasn’t paying attention to any weight specs so I was surprised by how heavy it turned out to be. Which I turned out to like! I’ve never had a keyboard this heavy before, and I enjoy how solid it feels when typing. I put the IDOBAO Kailh Elf silent switches in it and it feels great and is so quiet. Installing the keycaps was ezpz, no trouble at all. I cannot be bothered to solder switches so I love that it’s hotswappable. The case has CUSTOMIZED KEYBOARD text debossed in the lower left corner. It’s not really visible in the product pictures, so keep this in mind if it’s important to you. I was initially a little miffed to find it there because I wasn’t expecting it, but I got over it since the case feels nice. 😂 It also comes with a nice coiled cable and a switch puller and stuff! I wasn't expecting the cable (probably because I didn’t read closely enough) so it was a pleasant surprise. HOWEVER, just in case this is important to you: the knob and emblem take up the spot where the Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause keys go. I was disappointed because I specifically need those keys for work and I wanted this to be a work keyboard, and I wasn’t paying attention to those keys when ordering :( . Some quirks with my work setup at my office make me reluctant to bother with remapping keys via software (I know it is easy, but I don’t want to do it). Overall, I really like this keyboard! I’d love it even more if I had the Print Screen row, but hey. Can’t argue with the price!

Pretty solid borad for the price but beware

For what you get for the price of the board, it's not bad. Pretty solid keyboard, has some weight to it. It's surprising for how much the keyboard comes with for the price. But the poly carbonate plate can flex upward to the point that the switches tend pull out of the sockets. Also the foam it comes with from the factory would come unaligned and would cover the pin holes for the switches.

Punching way above its weight.

Opened this up and was surprised with the build quality (nice and solid, has some weight to it) went on and installed this with WS Morandi then decided to try the WS Jade switches (to go for a clackier sound profile) and the doubleshot ABS Noctua keycaps set and this board is right up there in sound + tactile feel (thanks to some impressive internal sound dampening and relatively springy gaskets) as my 200 dollar zoom 75. Even with as competitive the "budget" keyboard space has become in the past 2 years, I think I can confidently say this is at or near the pack and you simply cant do much better for a $55 dollar board. The only areas this might fall short is the general finish of the aluminum which is relatively plain/rough and can receive some scratches pretty easily (I did this when switching my switches out from some morandis) and the RGB needs controlled via app + it has a relatively standard suite of effects to work with. I would definitely recommend this board to anyone, you dont need even need to open it up and lube/tape/fill anything: just take your favorite switches and your pick of keycaps and it will sound+feel great right out of the box.
