Carefull with the keycaps
Initially i tough this will be the perfect keyboard for me, and then came the disappointment with the keycaps. You have to be very careful which caps you are bying, because most of them doesn't fully support SHIFT.
Besides thatit's very nice keyboard. The arrows are not where my muscle memory think, but ill get use to it.

Very good keyboard, but also very loud
Generally a very good board. If you're looking for a low profile and flat design in a barebones keyboard, I'm not sure you can do much better than this. Build quality of the board and accessories were excellent. Installation was a breeze (as long as you have 3 pin switches).
Unfortunately, this board is very loud and pingy, even with silent switches. If that loudness is a concern for you, I would look elsewhere.
There are other barebones 1800 layout kits out there with similar materials, build quality, and upgraded features (5-pin hotswap boards, e.g.) for about the same money, that are much more modable

Flat Base.
I was looking for something that did not have a large incline so I didn’t have to use a wrist rest. This keyboard allows me to do that. Haven’t seen anything else like this that’s not low profile.

Bigger Brother!
It’s the same as my low profile CTRL and ALT but larger! I put StupidFish foam in it and clipped and lubed the stabilizers. Solid and now I have a board with a number pad for one of my friends as a gift. This board fit into their list of requirements plus things they liked after trying some of my other boards out.

Beautiful well designed board, but 1800 keycaps can be hard to find
Out of the box, its a great keyboard, but a lot of the value for me comes from customizability. I've started tinkering with QMK, it's a bit of a hassle getting the tooling set up, but quite powerful once you have the compiling and deployment figured out. From earlier comments, it looks like the road to get here was a little rough, but the kinks seem to have been ironed out.

nullardWhat I have found with looking for keycap sets for 1800 keyboards (I own 3 with two more on the way) is that you need to ignore the 104 or 105 keycap sets, and of course anything made for 75% or lower. Look for sets with the extra caps for the top row especially, for example the Shift has the PgUp and PgDown above the keypad, and most sets default to those on the 2nd or 3rd row from the top. Watch for the 0 on the keypad as well, most sets will have a 2u or larger 0 cap instead of the 1u that the Shift needs. If the site you are looking at does not clearly show what is on each row of the set, I would recommend passing. Some of the sets I've found recently are 130 keycaps or more (I think one set I have coming has over 150) and that is the only way to ensure that you get the correct caps. Or as is the case with many of the sets here, make sure you go through the "a la carte" sets to make sure you get the correct ones.

Solid Foundation to build on
I like the convience of a built in numpad, but I also like the convience of a smaller keyboard. This 1800 layout is absolutely excellent for my needs and has some really nice "luxury" features in the aestetic department.
