I love this board. I'm writing this review right now with it using Matt3o Nerd Keycaps and Halo True switches. It's a dream to type on. Pros:

Hotswap sockets
Full aluminum case
Removable feet
Programmable
Great aesthetic

Cons:

It's really heavy. This might help it be more resistant to slips but man, it's a heavy little beast. If you like that though, you won't find this a con. At this point, I'm scratching my head trying to find SOMETHING to improve about this board so here we are.

Suggestions:

With a hotswap & programmable PCB, I wish it had some modularity to allow us to customize things like spacebar size but I'm not the designer for this so I have no idea how difficult that could be. It's just a fun idea.

Overall, I can't complain. It's a beautiful piece and I use it almost daily.

Not so much as a review as a synopsis of my own subjective impressions. I'll leave the details of the keyboard's specification to others. ------ Entirely underrated, albeit, a slightly unconventional offering.
Pros: Build quality is fantastic. Uber-affordable. Packaging, presentation - superb. Software - sufficient. Weight - substantial. Flexible - hot-swap switches and software under active development.
Excellent typing experience for those transitioning from already "alternative" layout keyboards from "a previous era" e.g. "mini-keyboards" circa 1990-2000 - and whose typing style (or lack there of) has long ago "skewed" away from "proper and correct".
Cons: (according to "enthusiasts") - Unconventional software (not QMK), case, non-standard connector position, layout Cons: (according to me) - Insufficiently documented to quickly appease those who enjoy reverse engineering software and everything else in their spare time.
Conclusion: Solid offering.
Certainly short of the "boutique" realm of "milled exotic hyper-alloys", but a significant achievement in alternative thinking, executed brilliantly. I'm going to bet that if you buy one, you'll use it - and you will grow to appreciate it over time as you pursue other keyboards that are "way too pretty to use".
