“I absolutely love this keyboard. It sounds amazing and the red switches are so smooth in feel. The colours are also great.”
“The keyboard is nice, but it took over 3 weeks of shipping to arrive. On their website it says they deliver in a week or under to the US.”

“Perfect keyboard, sounds lovely, feels lovely, i just fee like the white keys are a lot more cream than pictured. Not an issue though! Just a little annoying haha”
