“The Tide Alice is a fantastic keyboard with excellent build and quality. However, the Zebra switches weren’t the best. It improved significantly after I swapped them out for Gateron Milky Yellow Pros.”
“I don’t know how to use it with my MacBook Pro, no command key. Did I accidentally order a product that is PC only?”

“The Q2 is waaaaay underrated. Tempest mod, lubed durock v2 stabs, tecsee PME or HPE housing long pole tactile switches and you have yourself a killer board.”
