Great experience for the first keyboard

For the price, this is a really nice keyboard for someone that is curious about the hobby of building their own keyboard for the fist time. A solid build, has nice weight to it, I am planning on padding the switches and adding washers to the keys to get some of the noise down, but, I have to finish the other keyboard project before I move onto that one.

Decent for a first custom build

It's not the greatest. Very basic. Once your switches are in, I wouldnt try to change them. It is notoriously hard to get out. But it's a decent plain and simple keyboard.

Gets the job done

Are there better entries? Yupp. But this one is what it is, it's widely known - has tons of videos for it - blah blah.

cheap but expensive

lots of reviews about how this is a good starter board for the price, i wanted a white board, and i had some switches and keycaps without a home, so: here we are. i don't think i had skyhigh expectations especially for the price. out of the box: so loud. i like a deeper sound and this wasn't it (especially the spacebar, obnoxious even with foam inside). i'd seen other people do foam or tape mods on this board, so i thought i would do that. except the case is *impossible* to open. even after a ton of youtube videos and using a bunch of different tools, the case just wouldn't open and i don't want to break it or scratch it because then what's the point? i had put in my new holy panda x clears but they were just too loud. i have silent switches to swap in except the F row and top row of the board are too narrow for their included switch puller. (picture showing that there's not enough space to grip both sides of the switch.) two different tools later, i'm making progress in removing them but i've already snapped the case on one switch trying to get it out because they just won't come out. the keycaps are easy to put on/take off. definitely a frustrating learning experience, and it's costing a lot of my time. recs: don't mess with this board too much. just put your switches and keycaps on and enjoy. (edit: 7 switches broken in removing them)

pretty good value

This board feels super premium compared to the previous hotswap TKL I have (GMMK TKL). For a lower price, you get a decent amount of heft. Stabs were decently lubed and sound was good out of the box. I would not recommend taking it apart, it was difficult to clip the top and bottom back together.

Good plastic, nice weight, great stabs, terrible RGB.

I really liked the weight of this keyboard, and the plastics used felt really high quality. The stabs were wonderful and pre-lubed, with little to no tick at all, but the RGB left something to be desired. It's not very smooth, and the settings were rather finicky, but I don't feel like that is worth taking off a star. Great for beginner builds, decent for standard builds, and awesome for modding.

South-facing RGB, hot-swap, and did I say CHEAP!

I wrote a long review, but Drop ate it when I added the pic. :( Suffice it to say, for my top three must-haves: RGB, TKL high-profile, hot-swap this is the best value keeb on the market. Feels solid and heavy, the only complaint is that you can't use your cool aviator coils, the port access is too tight. You have to use the one that comes in the box. You can put it in the middle-back, or either side, which is nice. Just pull out the rubbery thing. I tried the left side, and it took tremendous force to get it in, and more to pull it out, so I would recommend just using the back port, and if you use the side don't take it out. Since the RGB is south-facing (which is super rare btw, only three boards are TKL/south-facing RGB/hot-swap/high-profile - Gopolar GG87 and Keychron Q3 are the other two), i.e. toward you, away from the monitor (so no glare, yay), if you want shine-through keycaps be sure to get ones with south-facing legends. Unless you use crystal switches I don't think the light will make it to the top/back of the keycap. This is a high-profile TKL case, so you can't see the bottom of the switches. I much prefer high-profile, but I'm sure others prefer low-profile. So there you have it - buy this board if you're wanting a good keeb on the cheap, and you need RGB/hot-swap/TKL high-profile. Nothing with all of those will be cheaper, and this appears to be a solid board.
