Hot-swappable

Build quality in the top 30% of 98% boards under $150.

“I bought this a while back because I just needed ANY keyboard as my main board broke and I didn't have the time/money to replace/fix it. When I saw the price of this I was very skeptical but figured it had to at least be better than your typical e-waste…”
