Pros & Cons
Pros
Kalih keyswitches feel great and have a satisfying and not-too-loud click. They're louder than speed silvers but still type nicely and aren't as loud as cherry blue switches. It's a little loud for my liking but definitely satisfying to type on.
The usb stick just works, on every device i've plugged it into. It has an easy switch between bluetooth, off, and wireless usb 2. Dongle overcomes my computers bluetooth issues. Charges via usb-c.
Absolute *. Well worth the money. I’m considering ordering a spare to keepin the closet in case anything ever happens to this one - it’s that * good!
I love the retro nintendo styling and it brings me back to my childhood. The feel of typing on this keyboard is absolutely wonderful. They perfectly nailed the aesthetics of the nes with its design.
Cons
Worst of all is that the product simply does not function as advertised. One foot switch button feels loose with much less of a click. It's incredibly annoying and enough to make me want to just put this in a closet.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent finger feel, wonderful build quality, bluetooth, dongle or usb c connection.
Really like the feel and sounds of this board, very robust.
The charge lasts for a long time (i have gone a month without charging it).
I can say if you're buying this in hopes to mod it, good luck, the screws are under the rubber feet but i've had no luck getting them out.
Price
They really went all out with making sure this thing was cheap in price and keeping it as sturdy as possible.
The amount of effort put into this keyboard is shocking considering it's price range at $100.
At first i thought it was an overpriced nostalgia piece.
Again for $100, and with everything else this board is working with, i can't really complain.
Packaging/appearance
I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this product and the quality of the packaging.
They did the board justice pairing the kailh box white v2s and semi hollowish case to resemble the old clacky boards.
The joystick and two buttons could be optionally left out of the package.

The old ibm styling is understated so if you’re looking for flashy this ain’t that
