“What a piece of art. The cnc and attention to detail is immacualte. Gif screen and VIA software could use some love, but it's perfectly fine for what it is.”

“I like the feel and the sounds the keyboard has. However, one of the foot is missing, and there's no feature to disable the backlight from numlock.”
“Had it for maybe a month or two and it no longer works, the lighting is gone and it won’t even turn on now”
