I own one of these boards (bought it on ali) so here's my review/warning/PSA. Plate mount stabs. If this were the only issue it'd be fine, a 4*, but it's not. DO NOT BUY THIS BOARD! First off, the foot makes the board UNUSABLE. It is a long bar that does not go from end-to-end of the keyboard, meaning pressing a key at the top (such as the numbers, escape or backspace), especially at the sides, makes the board LEVER OFF THE DESK. This makes it unusable for gaming applications. I removed mine. Secondly, there is NO MENTION of the board only supporting 3 Pin Switches with LARGE SMD CUTOUTS. 95% OF SWITCHES ON THE MARKET WILL NOT FIT THIS. Instead of the switches I wanted to use, I had to use the included switches because I, despite having 200+ unused switches (Gateron FEI, Yellow, Outemu Black, JWK Dolphin, Kailh Box Navy) in my house, don't have a single switch that will fit this board. Furthermore, THIS BOARD DOES NOT HAVE AN FN LAYER, THE FN KEY ONLY WORKS FOR THE LIGHTING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK LMAO. YOU CAN'T EVEN FIX IT USING THE USELESS SOFTWARE. you have to use AHK (which will get you banned in video games) or touchcursor to implement this functionality. The only thing good about this keyboard is the looks (if you replace the fugly stock caps). If you want a useless desk weight, buy this keyboard. Otherwise, look somewhere else.

elbowyeishDon't want to support the store since leaving this out of the description is on them, but the price here on drop is lower anyways and you get actual warranty

SopeLarge SMD LEDs since you can just clip 5 pin to 3 pin. Also no FN layer and shitty foot.
