I love this board and am currently writing the review on it. The full metal case makes this board really heavy, but not too different from other high end boards that you'll find in limited group buys. The heft of the board also allows for a deep sound every time you press a key, which was a very pleasant surprise. One thing to note, is that the PCB does not natively support Gateron switches. I was initially planning to use some Linjars (produced by Gateron) but you will have to sand down the two mounting posts on the bottom of the switch because the PCB only has holes for the central post and two electrical contact points. Really not a big deal, but just a heads up. You'll also notice some difficulty when removing switches. The hot swap sockets work just fine, but because there's no removable plate, there is not much room between the switches and the high profile walls of the board. Also not a big deal, just be careful when pulling switches so you don't scratch the sides of your walls. If you're into RGB lighting, this board is about as good as it gets. Per switch lighting with QMK firmware means you have complete control over how you want your lights to shine. The fn shortcuts included with each package allows for you to make quick color changes as well. Given the continual improvements people make to QMK every year, non-technical people (me) are finding it easier to make more nuanced changes directly from the GUI. Overall though I'm incredibly satisfied with the board. Hefty, sounds great, looks great, easy to configure and maintain. Only missing star is due to lack of dedicated plate and PCB options but those are not terribly important to the overall quality of the keyboard. GMK Nautilus Caps, Halo Clear Switches, and the Massdrop High Profile Ctrl board.

pchang104This keyboard supports Gateron switches. What you're referring to is PCB mount switches, which have the two extra posts on the bottom. The KB listing clearly states it supports plate mount switches only.
