“As a beginner i got everything what i want from a keyboard with this piece. I think it is a good value and recommend to bye it. Packaging and shipping are also very good.”
“This was my first custom keyboard so I was using it completely stock, but it has since completely stopped working even with the charging cable in. I would love to give it praise but I can't with this.”

“I thought I had found exactly what I wanted and its great for what it is, but! This was advertised as an ANSI layout but what I received was an ISO layout board. The barebones board also states in the images that it comes with switch and keycap removal tools…”
