as you can see from here the bottom has a very different form. the pins are in a similar space but much shorter and turned 90 degrees. this is only compatible with the eg switches. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/epic-gear-defiant-mechanical-keyboard,31356.html this isn't the first modular full size the team wolf one came first and was also SMD RGB backlit. this one has a much nicer aesthetic as far as the cleaner shape over the team wolf one but isn't the first also the team wolf is more compatible with more switches. you can find the team wolf drop here or on amazon for about $20 more then the massdrop price but no waiting.

AntonyFaragI don't think so:
on the first image you can see the holes for led pins at the bottom so the switches pins are at the same place :')

zurboit is very clear the pins in this board are vertical as opposed to cherry and cherry compliant switches which are horizontal.

zurboIt looks to me like they are twisted 90 degrees. I could be wrong or i could be right. I have already sent an e-mail to epicgears support team will report back on compatibility results when i have them for the community.

AntonyFaragerrrrr right or left don't change the orientation of the flat on the pins (only change the layout of the switch on the PCB)

zurboif front left that means the front is on the right side of the screen making it horizantal if front right that would put front at left making it vertical.
