Despite the fact that this is a very basic keyboard, it has some good features that make it well worth the price.
The NYM96 is a stripped down version of the Melody96. The lines aren’t as nice and it doesn’t have a diffuser for the underglow. It’s also a tray mount keyboard.
Despite all of that it still has some nice features. It has a heavy aluminum chassis. The PCB supports QMK. It’s nearly a full size keyboard, which is nice to have at times.
This would have been my first board except it came with the down arrow switch soldered a bit too far to the left causing the keycaps to overlap when installed. I was waiting for the keycaps to come in and didn’t even know what to look for since I’m a newbie, and as a result I missed my refund window. Oh well, lesson learned and Drop threw some credits my way towards my next purchase so that was nice. Takeaway is, if you’re a noob like me, inspect the board as much as possible within the refund timeframe!
HEAVY. Maybe not so much as other keebs go, but for me, this thing has some heft, and I love it. Put some GMK Samurai on it, though I'm thinking of going for a more subdued key cap set. Either way, this keyboard is great. Tried my hand at QMK, not so bad. Switches are great, went with Cherry reds as a nice midway, ease-into-the-hobby switch set. I like em.
Definitely recommend if you're thinking of getting into this stuff. I love the 96 key layout, still got all my buttons, but it's in a nice and compact package. Only bummer is the lack of hotswap PCB. Oh well. Next one?!
Somewhat of a newbie to mechanical keyboards but this seemed to be the kind of compact layout I was looking for with a numpad. Overall very satisfied and seems to be a great value for the price. Thankfully arrived undamaged. Very solid. No issues with the USB connection contrary to other reviews.
The board is pretty solid and easy to setup. I ended up configuring it like a TKL since I wasn't a fan of the 96key layout. Enjoyed the build and feels nice to type on.
