Excellent Value, Great Fast Device Switching

Hands down my favorite 65% board. Favorite Aspects:

65% Layout
Switching between bluetooth devices works excellently and seamlessly
Great battery life
Ability to become the quietest thing you've ever typed on

My Mods:

Switch Swap (for 78g Zilents)
Keycap Swap (for XDA Canvas)
Stabilizer Swap (For gold plated plate mount Cherry stabs also from ZealPC)

This thing is now so whisper quiet that I can use it on a conference table without the speakerphone sitting on the table picking up _any_ typing noise. Quieter than a laptop keyboard. Since this drop hasn't come up again in so long I've tried looking for an alternatives and I can say definitively that the Akko 3068 sucks in comparison. I've not done a switch swap yet, but while it too can pair multiple devices and has hotkeys for each one, it CANNOT switch to a second one while the first is still connected, e.g. I cannot switch freely between typing on my laptop and my phone the way the Keywalker IFD68 can, I have to turn bluetooth off on my phone for the keyboard to be able to "let go" and connect to my laptop and vice versa. The only thing that I don't love is the lack of convenient remapping/access to support in anything other than Chinese. Massdrop, please bring this back so I can by extras to give to friends and family!

This is a great 65% keyboard with a solid layout (identical to the Tada68) and both bluetooth and micro-USB connectivity.
I gave in to temptation (again) and got this in the hopes that it would be an improvement over my Leopold FC660M (brown). I wanted the option of using bluetooth and I was also hoping to be able to do some basic firmware switching. I swapped out the god awful keycaps for an extra set of side-spring Leopold's that I had around. I also needed to order some extra modifier keys, specifically the right 1.75 shift. I figured out how to run the firmware program on my Mac (Cliff notes version: VirtualBox + Microsoft test image + GitHub repo) to reprogram the caps lock to ctrl. I put in 5mmx1.2mm Buna o-rings to reduce the noise.
The keyboard has a couple more keys than the FC660 and has a similar feel to it. It is actually a tiny bit narrower than the Leopold. The polymer case keeps the weight down for easy transportation. Bluetooth pairing is straightforward and works well. The downside is that to connect to an alternate device, the target device needs to be completely off, at least that's been the case so far.
I can think of no higher recommendation than the fact that the IFD68 has replaced my Leopold FC660M when the Tada68 (too heavy and weird typing angle) and the WhiteFox (too heavy and too resonant while typing) both failed to displace the Leopold.

It works. Really well. Looks nice, but will definitely be replacing the keycaps lol. The most difficult thing about this board is the learning curve for all the shortcuts, I have bad short-term memory so it's all good. I keep the manual with the board. Definitely worth the price point.
