Pros & Cons
Pros
I think this is a very good build for beginners like me. I hope that helps visualize just how different your experience will be from mine. The good:the case is very high quality and has little to no issues. The the case is smaller than expected which ... Read More
The stabilizers fit very snug into the plate, so it is not a case of the mounts wiggling. The plate-mount stabilizers are really nice out of the box, and lubed quite adequately, which is highly uncommon for prebuilt boards at all. Amazing little 60% b... Read More
Software is kind of hard to find. Good fit for typing and doing a bit of programming. The newest software as of 2/15/20 is actually pretty good. The 4-star average is simply for the fact that the case/shell is lackluster and the software is meh at bes... Read More
As far as pre-built keyboards go, this is actually the nicest, and cheapest i have purchased. This is a great value diy kit it is very easy to put everything together. Other modular keyboards to consider:- gmmk compact is a very solid.
Switch between the four preset layers is actually very fast. There’s a few settings for rgb that are neat, reminds me of my old razer cynosa chroma. The mic is a cool feature with the rgb effects.
Cons
Biggest complaint is that the the stabilizers that come with the board are awful. Little to any bump or knock on the board pops them out. Any key that has the built in stabilizers is just mushy and feels very stiff.
The case is machined nicely and looks beautiful, but the plate is not well machined at all. This product is clearly misrepresented. If i could go back in time, id sack up the extra 50$ for a reputable brand.
Highlights
Quality
From what i can tell, if you order a board now, it will have the blockier case, which i would say is a major plus, as it holds... Read More
Solid build no issues with the board.
The software was kinda clunky and confusing so i just stuck with the default layout.
Really great quality for the price, although the software is horrid.
Price
For its price i absolutely love it.
This is a great overall product for the price.
Shipping
First off, shipping - i purchased the faster shipping method, and this board practically came instantly compared to amazons exp... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Quality is amazing for the price and the packaging was amazing.
Pennies on the bottom of the inside of the case3.
Competitiveness
Going from a full-size keyboard to a small keyboard was a little weird but it was very nice having more space on my desk.
Eva foam inside casesounds amazing with lubed switches.
With this layout you're still gaining a much smaller form factor than a tkl without the hassle of a non-standard layout, so thi... Read More
Board came quick and with everything i needed inside, including a keycap and switch puller (which i wouldn't recommend using, b... Read More

The kit is pretty solid for the price overall youre looking at spending 100120 to do a full setup with keycaps and switches which is for the most part inline with similar competing boards

While the sturdiness of the plastic isnt bad by any means the finish on it is just subpar

I would recommend buying the cnc alu shells if you dont mind the available colors on here but i purchased the plastic one by choice knowing this was going to be a project board and was prepared to paint the shell

The software is too complicated for its own good
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It’s a great keyboard overall but there are much better options such as the nk65 which has south facing leds which was one of the problems that the gk61 has
