“Not many boards I've tried have been this good out of the box, no mods necessary. Sound and feel is great (I got blush nano) and overall build quality is great for a $99 board.”
“Feels good, but few switches are broken in a way that either don't type or type 2 times in one press, should rly put few replacement switches in the box for this case”
