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.

I am really impressed with this board. I wasn't expecting much for the price but I am pretty blown away. The quality for a plastic board is pretty good. It feels solid and sounds good to me (although I am using silent switches). The pads under the switches and stabs was a nice touch! Yes, it has flex from the gasket. Mine needed a little bit of breaking in before it flexed correctly (I just gave it a push in a few places).
The board doesn't seem to have an obvious way to open it up for modding, but in my case it sounds great as it is out of the box that I don't plan on modding it yet. But I thought I'd mention it just in case.
I ding this a star as the description wasn't super clear on what the barebones came with. It does come with plate stabilizers (pretty nice ones, I might add!). Had I known this, I wouldn't have bought some for this board. I am also not a fan of the lack of remapping software for this board. It doesn't seem like it has any, but I could be wrong.
Edit: There IS software on the Keebmonkey site and it's alright. Not as polished as VIA but passable!

A-n-kAh you're right. Although it's not great (had to find the option to swap to English) and it doesn't seem to save on device? I will play around with it more.

Affordable keyboard
After I recieved this keyboard and built it, I found myself with an odd issue when used wired. After talking with Drop's support, and after a bad experience with an agent, and an excellent one with a different one, they issued a refund and I got to work troubleshooting the keyboard. Had to open up and make sure that everything was soldered correctly, cleaned the port, and was lucky enough that it worked and I am typing this review on it.
The keyboard feels plasticky but deffinitely not cheap to my touch. The angled legs are a nice addition and overall I really like this board. The software as usual does not have very good translations, and it's kinda odd, but at least not sketchy in my opinion. The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because of the issue I had, its accompanying software, and the fact that after going into KeebMonkey's Discord server to try to troubleshoot my issue, nobody replied in what is now 3 days, and some other users reported the same experience.
BE WARY, KEEBMONKEY'S SUPPORT SUCK, so if you have any issue, either return it if you are withing the return window, or understand you WILL NOT GET ANY SUPPORT FROM THE MANU.

I got 99 keys but PrtSc aint one
I put the keyboard together last night, currently using Cherry RGB Silver switches and the Skylight Rose keycaps that I picked up with the Keycap mystery box I got last month. Turns out these keycaps look far better to me than the keycaps that came with the keyboard do...which means I would have been better off just ordering it from Keebmonkey in the first place. Oh well. I do like the keyboard and how it sounds quite a bit. Flex in the PCB was a little alarming at first, but it seems fine now with all the keys in place. Since I did not like the feel of the flex when I tried to install keys with the entire KB assembled, I did take it apart so I could set the PCB and plate on a solid surface. It is a little struggle to get apart, but was OK in the end. Since I had it apart, I did a tape mod, because why not?

This is a wonderful board.
There are three things I personally do not care for about this board:
1. The base color is off-white beige and therefore hard to pair with keycaps.
2. The LEDs are only one color: white.
3. There's no dedicated Print Screen, Home, or End buttons. It turns out, I use Home, End, and the Numpad, a lot more than I realized while programming.
Other than those three things, this is a wonderful keyboard.
