Keyboard is still going strong after 1 1/2 years of use. Haven't had any issues with this thing; I think I'm lucky to avoid the horror stories some other users had.

Just received and assembled it. It's pretty and it works well, except for one part: the backspace and enter key stabilizers get stuck sometimes, then I have to pull the keycap back out a little before it goes back to normal (although the stabilizers are still fairly mushy normally)... If anyone has any solutions for that I would be very grateful.
Also as Jalara mentioned in their review, the magnetic feet do come off a little too easily. I can forsee myself losing them if I was to transport it around frequently.
One last thing...

Laughed for a solid 5 minutes when I saw my serial number.
I came home tonight and found my new CTRL Canvas waiting for me in the mailbox. So excited. It seems like this took forever to get even though it shipped early.
So after doing a few chores, I opened the box. There were 2 boxes inside. 1 box held the Box White switches and the other the barebones CTRL and keycaps. I loved the packaging! The switches were mounted in trays, not loosely shipped in bags. The keycaps were also shipped in 2 styrofoam trays. It was easy to see I had all the caps and where they all went on the board.
I installed the switches. There were 3 spares. Nice touch! I installed the caps I wanted and powered it up! All the lights are great! The pre-programmed lighting / media keys work as described on the enclosed card. All keys are working as they should.
I'm typing this review on the board and I love the box whites. Light but tactile with a satisfying click. I love everything about this board! Good job Massdrop and Mito!
I did find one thing I'm not sure is a problem or a feature. When the Scroll Lock key is activated, it changes color. When deactivated, it goes back to matching the color scheme of the other keys. So you know when you have scroll lock because it doesn't match the other colors. Not a problem I can't live with.
The biggest issue is the magnetic feet. They don't stay on if you move the board on your desk. I guess I just have to get used to picking it up to move it.
So yeah, love the color, love the Canvas caps, love the Box Whites. I'm a happy customer!
Time to fix dinner!
