“My case came flawless. It was a super easy build and is the perfect complement to my Noctua key caps.”
“It’s a nice looking keyboard but the part where you plug into broke after 7 months so I can no longer use it”

“Excellent build quality with a sturdy metal chassis. Heavier than I thought haha. The keys sound significantly better than they do in videos online, though I did run into a slight issue with the initial firmware update.”
