“Absolutely brilliant keyboard, if your looking for a full alice keeb, with a solid frame, that looks and feels well built, this is the one for you, already pulled out all the original keycaps and switches, to truly make it a one of one”

“Amazing. Love the weight, keycaps, color. Knob placement could be much better. Spacebar leans to one side since I always press it on the right and gets uneven.”
“Keystrokes doesn’t have light instead a rainbow where i can’t focus when typing”
