Good Bang for the Buck!

Just put this board together this morning. You can see in the photos section the arrangement of switches I used (I know it's a little weird but there are things that need to go click and things and things that need to feel like typing...try it out if you're just using the same switches everywhere, you might like it!!). Overall, the assembly was really simple (probably about 30 minutes with switch testing) and as one of the other reviewers noted, the flex while pushing in the switches was really alarming but it seems like all is well (don't really notice it typing here though). The board is insanely light when compared to something like the Dukharo 96 or the Keydous NJ80 which was surprising since it is a wireless board (I figured the batteries would make it a bit heavier) so it might be good if you're looking for a (almost) full size board to use in your lap. When compared to a TKL board, it's about 2" longer, and compared to that NJ80, it's probably about 3" longer. The Holy Panda X's feel fantastic in this board...they really have a nice tactile feel. I'm not sure if this is because of the OEM PBT keycaps that I got with the board or what. I've tried them in the Dukharo with Skyloong silicone keycaps and they don't feel the same. These feel much snappier and crisp. One thing that is also really nice about this board is that scroll wheel in the upper right. I've found that now that world has gone to MS Teams/Zoom/whatever, it's really nice to be able to change the volume on the fly. The wheel has a nice click and the press works to mute/unmute. Only thing that's a little strange is that because of the low profile wheel on it, if you're attacking it from the front (typing position), it actually sits a little below the minus (-) key on the numpad. Not really an issue, but just something to be aware of. This would be a great board for anyone that needs a full number pad. I personally bought it to be a work from home beater board and I think it will be fantastic for that. The price point is also a great place for someone to get started in the hobby without breaking the bank too much (depending on switches, probably puts you in the $150 to $200 range with the $20 supplied caps) and it has full functionality as a wired or wireless board.
