“very compact, build quality is great, and I don't even feel any latency when using the keyboard wireless.”
“The only "zmk" support is from the launcher itself and its missing most of the ZMK features. For example Combos!”

“Very pretty and good quality, only con is it's kind of pingy but it's easy to mod and fix with some tape, force break mod.”
