To put it simply, 70% keyboards are rare. Keyboard layouts usually go from 68% to 75%, so when we were given the opportunity to offer our first GMK keyboard in such a unique layout, we jumped on it Read More

Finally got a chance to sit down with this and use it, and while the hardware is great, the firmware and control software is worse than I imagined.
Specific questions about problems:
Are there no function keys by default? The expected Fn + 4 doesn't work, and there appears to be only two layers, 0 and 1.
Is there no numlock functionality? I can hit Numlock, but the side-printed numpad seems to actually be the Fn layer or keycode table 1. This is a problem as it means either F7-9 work or they're part of the numpad.
Can I remap Fn key successfully? It remaps in the control software, and the new Fn key works, but the old Fn key throws in a Right Alt keypress along with the new keymap.
Why do media keys (Play-pause, prev track, next track) not work in Windows?
LED color changing and status worked for me, however. Using v1.0.12 with firmware V1.19.0.
75% boards aren't that rare. You just have to know where to look.
This board is horribly overpriced and comes with no QMK. No hot swap sockets. A 6U Spacebar?
There are so many better boards out there at a fraction of the price. For example:
A GK68 is 129.99 and comes with:
Hot swap sockets
RGB Lighting
QMK
A standard stapcebar
Gateron Switches
The only con here is it's not a true 75%
So for this board to cost 300 is insane.
Cut the price to 150 and I'd be interested.
Otherwise, this is just an extremely overpriced keycap set.
