Praise
“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.”
Guilherme C.Verified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“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?”
