“The layout is more comfortable than the razor. The pad isn't very soft and it would be nice if it had a tilt adjustment. I like that it includes shine through keycaps unlike their backlit keyboards. I'm happy I bought it.”
“Make it ortholinear or columnar staggered and I'll buy it. I have an ageing Razor Nostromo and I want to replace it with something that has real Linux support (and the ZSA Moonlander it too expensive).”

“Love the keyboard and goes well with the switches i got. Size was bigger than expected but weight is truly high quality Could do with a force break mod though as it is a little pingy”
