Snagged $100 off my first month of keyboard club and used it on this. So worth it. Solid, smooth, clean. It will be my go to for games/desktop pc in general.
Haimu whisper silents + NicePBT deep north.
Will most likely replace stabilizers, these aren't ideal for a quieter build. Other than stabilized keys it sounds great with the haimus and zero mods, so no real complaints.
This was my first full DIY build and it is definitely a great board for newbies! Me and my girlfriend built this board together as a birthday gift for her, it was honestly a great time! I really wanted to get her something that felt very premium, since her only prior experience with keyboards have been awful Razors, and this boards build quality is really good! The brass weight helps a ton, and I think it is a great addition. We used Kailh BOX Jades (unlubed), lubed Durock V2’s in Miami Vice Pink (because why the hell not), Glorious PBT Grapefruit keycaps, and a basic tape mod that I found online. The click sounds really good and the tape mod helped a ton with the board sounding a bit hollow (which is a normal complaint with this board).
It was my first keyboard build. If you buy it i'd reccomend you lube the stabalisers as i havent and get alot of scratching from the space bar especially. That being said obviously i cant compare it to anything other than the dell keyboard i bought off fb marketplace. Mine is built with everglide clear linears and some shine through PBT keycaps i cant remember the name of right now lol
There was some incredibly poor soldering on the PCB which made me initially think that was the issue with the RGB, but according to someone I know, it's more likely that the LED that's different to the rest is from a different batch.
Other than that, the build quality seems pretty good.
The hefty metal case is solid. It came with stock stabilizers which are alright but were the first things I replaced. The RGB is bright and impressive using the compatible VIA app. I'm using Black Lotus switches that have a LED diffuser, but I don't think it changes the brightness all that much from standard switches. There are 14 LEDs on the bottom and one for each key up top. I like being able to toggle the top/bottom on/off.
The form factor is fairly perfect in my opinion. It's big enough where it's doesn't feel cramped when typing, yet small enough that it doesn't take much more horizontal realty on my desk than standard 65% keyboard.
I'd read some complaints that said this board has a hollow-sounding profile, but I found it about average for keyboards that use a metal plate. It actually sounds better than I thought it would considering it doesn't use case foam due to the RGB design and acrylic bottom. I'm considering doing a tape mod around the LEDs on the back, but this isn't a deal breaker by any means.

OOh its so lovely, aluminum with a big ol weight that brings the keyboard to just a few pounds heavier than my car*! Thats quality! The bottom acrylic glow through is a primo touch and idk good layout good port customizable, south facing leds. Get it, why not?
