Praise
“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.”
DarryllVerified buyer· via Keychron
Critique
“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).”
