For the price its a nice keyboard
I got this keyboard on sale. It is solid. I currently have my SA Lazer set on them and they look amazing. The keyboard could use some foam to help it being from so clanky. Besides that i really like it.

Good for it's time. Aged poorly.
This keyboard was a beginning of a new brand, offering a form factor that was harder to find with materials that were quality enough for starter boards of their time. Although it works fine and I've encountered no defects, nowadays, this board is simply outclassed by many competitors, regardless of whether they're built with plastic or quality metals and alloys. If you already own the board, you can make it work from an acoustic standpoint to where you don't need to consider getting a different board unless you're making a strong upgrade. But for people who don't own one, I just wouldn't get it unless you find it for the right price in the used market.

Future revisions need to close the excess space in the integrated plate.
Overall I'm really happy with my purchase. There's a lot of modification I had to do to get the keeb where I wanted though.
- The firmware for this board is QMK's YMD75/rev2, That's the PCB included. Unlike other ID boards, this one doesn't have its own firmware.
- The switch connector for the 'A' key is missing one of its holes for one of the plastic pegs in the switch, you'll have to use a razor to remove that peg.
- The weight of my board came out to 1.1kg... A tad too light for my liking. After modification I have it at 1.4kg.
- The excess space in the integrated plat under the keys with stabs allow for too much sound reverb through the chasse. This causes a really deep tone in the spacebar, R-shift, return, backspace. The spacebar especially had such a deep tone that it seemed like it was sticking.
- There's no available sound dampening foam for this board
- To resolve these issues I had to resort to creating a silicone pad from two-part pour silicone to fit under the space bar and cover the massive hole into the chasse.
- I also filled the excess space in the bottom portion of the chasse with silicone to remove some of the volume sound can reverb through and add extra weight to the entire board.

Nice keyboard
This is my first kit. It took me about 30 mins minutes to put it together and solder it. But I have been soldering for 38 years, so it will probably take others longer. Note that the "A" key is missing a hole for the pcb mount switches. You can even see it in the photos. You'll need to cut the left plastic pin off of the switch for that key. Also take note of the thingies for wide keys... It comes with one on the right shift, but this needs to be removed for a normal US layout.
Build quality is otherwise excellent. I bought cheap chinesium keys for now, because I couldn't find a set of GMK keys that I liked without spending $300 for something that is out of production. I'm using it on a Mac, and I just used the built-in key mapping in the Mac settings to remap the command and option keys.
It came with some extra SMT diodes. Not sure what those are for. Spares?

Tight fit for switches.
Damn near snapped my thumb trying to fit my gateron yellows into the board. I was using a 5 pin switch and had to cut the extra legs to get the switch to fit a little better, still not perfect but it could be better. Loads better than the ID80 as far as board quality.
There are better options, but if people want their first aluminum board and cant wait for the gmmk pro from glorious pc, then go ahead and get this one.

Spacebar spacing is a bit off with holy pandas causing an extremely short stroke. Additionally, there is no id84 firmware for VIA or QMK configurator currently so customization is a massive pain.

Unknown_WalkIf I flash the stock ymd75 Rev 2, it's fine. But I am using on a Mac, so I am swapping the alt and OS keys. When I do that, and flash, the keyboard is no longer responsive and misses >50% of keypresses.
When I flash back to stock ymd75, it's responsive again.

Fun build and solid 75% board
The weight of the build is solid. The stock stabilizers will definitely need some love upon building. The layout is refreshing for a non-TLK 75%.
I built the board with millmax 0305 sockets with Gateron silent reds.
The weight of the board once assembled is really nice. Love how the PCB is QMK compatible.
