Great build quality, flexible platform for trying different switches, but it has some flaw
I love the looks and the build quality. It's a great platform to try different switches and get into mechanical keyboards, specially because of the ammount of the features you get for the price (great aluminum construction, RGB keys and sides, 2 USB-C, swappable key switches, programmable), but there are a couple of flaws that could a be a deal breaker to some people:
  1. Ergonomics: for me personally, I need a keyboard with big enough incline to feel comfortable while typing. I'm the guy who always uses the max height on the little unfoldable feet that almost every keyboard has. The highest part of top row of keys is about 41mm from the desk plane in this keyboard, and that is not enough for me. Apparently the high profile version of this keyboard has a little more of an incline, so if you need it, you should look at that model. SA profile keycaps could also be and option.
  2. (EDIT: This has been fixed in the new Drop Alt version, also with the new colored cases) The magnetic feet. I HATE them. They look great on pictures and social media, but on every day use, they detach almost DAILY with a little side movement. I never realized how many a times a day I make little adjustments to the position of my keyboard, but this product made me VERY aware of how many times I do it. It is very annoying. I honestly would be cool if they kept the same design, but they changed the magnets to screws so they would never detach. Also, I have several mechanical keyboards, and I like to rotate them every now and then, so these feet are also problem if you store your keyboard a lot, since they detach super easily and could be lost.
Now, these are my nitpicks, I just mention them in detail so people can be more informed of them, but I think this could be a perfect keyboard for a lot of people, but just not for me. I think the high profile version of this keyboard solves these 2 issues, so I'm willing to give that keyboard a try, because this keyboard has been a super fun platform to try new switches without buying a new keyboard or desolder every time.

ffigueroThat's wild. There is probably something wrong with your magnets. Mine are difficult to pull off. I have to turn it upside down and my nails under them. It takes at least 8 pounds of force. I have mine on a glass surface so the rubber doesn't budge, ever. I could see it being less grippy on a plastic or wood desk.
