Lovely switches with glorious keycaps.
Just got the keyboard, but I can already say that I am absolutely in love with it. The switches are smooth and not that loud right off the bat, and the keycap profile takes very little time at all to get used to, along with the keycaps looking absolutely gorgeous. The board has some heft to it, which is a very good thing because it does not slide around at all on a deskmat. I can foresee many, many hours spent with this keyboard with much love poured into it. All in all, I am extremely happy with this keyboard, and may end up picking up the other two Lord of the Rings keyboards in the future, but for now I am just going to spend many hours with this one.

Fantastic board
Super fun response on the keys that give way to a smooth action about 1/4 way through the full press. The tonal report is strong, loud, and full, a true omen of the dark lands that Barad-Dûr would be proud of.
The board itself has a great weight to it, feeling very strong and durable while appearing soft, smooth, and approachable.
I've seen some FAQs asking about the color profile, images below are closely matched to a standard off-gray office desk with fluorescent neutral-white light above, roughly 5100K.

Looks amazing, functionally pretty plain
I'm a die hard LOTR fan and this keyboard looks right at home on my desk. The lights could be a little brighter and my dream would be if the black speech characters on the keycaps let light pass through, but it still looks great.
I'm used to tactile switches, so it's a bit of an adjustment to get used to the linear switches. Some might like them more than I do.
Some QoL additions like a volume wheel or USB pass through would be nice, but I knew what I was getting so I'm not mad about not having those.
Ultimately, I recommend it as a collector's piece, but I'm not sure it stands on its own without the LOTR aspect.

The best keyboard I've ever had.
Like the title says, this is the best keyboard I've even got my hands on. I've had my fair share of quality keyboards from Razer, Logitech and others, but this one takes the cake! The Build quality, the weight, the design!!! stunning

Cool design, lackluster features.
The design is obviously the star of the show here, and it’s very well built. The keycaps dip inward, allowing your fingers to sink in. The switches are silent, but click, a nice compromise for shared environments.
It comes with both accented and non-accented keycaps, with the non-accented pre-installed. The keycaps grabber that is included isn’t all that great at grabbing the keycaps.
The backlight adds nothing to the keyboard other than allowing them to list another feature, but it’s better suited turned off. To turn it off, you press Fn + Down, but that’s the only intuitive shortcut. The other keyboard shortcuts are poorly placed and unable to be remapped, so be sure to keep the cheat sheet.
Overall, it’s a nice keyboard, but you’re paying a premium for form, not function.

HolyPanda switch and keyboard Broke less than a year later
Edit: Less than a year later the A switched stopped working. The switch would not actuate and started to get stuck, mind you this was clean and lubed. Upon inspection the stem of the switch had started to crumble on the left side and debris from it was getting caked and stuck, so I tried to adjust the stem to see if it would work and ended up just breaking completely and now I will have to resolder a new switch or buy a new keyboard. You cant order 1 holy panda so I'm stuck spending extra money to fix this and the time to solder. Don't buy this keyboard if you plan on using it as a daily driver. I feel its more for show and besides the housing, the keyboard feels cheap. Also the back boot for the stand broke as well and will have to plastic cement it back. Interested to see if drop will do anything but I doubt it. Will update.

Solid feeling keyboard.
The keyboard was heavier than expected, which is great. The heft will make sure that it doesn't move on the desk. The keycaps themselves were also quite nice and didn't have any unexpected play, but we'll have to see how they hold up over time.

that's what I'm wondering as well. I preordered mine last month and I thought no one could get them till they actually released!

Could be better.
It is solid and works fine, but the switches are quite hard and lose sensitivity so fast and may miss some clicks on them. Also customs from my country has charge me almost 100$ extra for the keycap, cable and keyboard combo that is actually 250$ and i my package was missed for almost a month...
In fact i love the visual of this keyboard and im for sure custom this one with a better pcb and switches.

JanagareytorHad mine less than a year and the A switch failed. The side of the stem started to crumble and the debris started to cake up and prevent it from actuating. When i tried to wiggle it free the entire switch housing bent and completely broke. I'm very upset for the amount I paid.

Great, Smooth, Heavy, Detailed Keyboard
It's a great keyboard except one bad thing.
The backlight definitely doesn't fit with LOTR theme. Would be great if it has a red, soft yellow or orange color options.
