I started replacing switches to Drop's Holy Panda and noticed that the switches didn't feel solid. A visual examination from above made it look like the switches were not mounting flush with the plate. I took the board apart and found that some of the switch holes were off-center or too small, preventing certain switches from mounting flush with the board. Poor quality control.
I put up a image of my keyboard right up after I had built it because I loved the look. (I got the grey version and it has the slightest hue of blue in it. ) This was my first bare-bones kit built and yes I would do it again. It was so much fun! I did however purchase the separate mxrskey 820 foam etc kit from another site and I was happy I had, I did not like the really flexible pc board this came with the kit and the other had a very stiff, metal board in it that I used. Many however will love it with the flexible board. The kit was easy to put together. For those who are wondering I used Leobog Icesoul switches after I debated using Epomakers Wisteria switches, tried both the tactile and linear versions - so very close but the Leobog's one out. I just liked the sound and feel a bit better. Not too loud but not silent either.
This is a nice-looking KB, but there is a lot to be desired. Here are some thoughts on it:
The plastic plate is very warped and unevenly installed, the foam pads along the inside of the case hold the plate weirdly. making the switches all a bit uneven.
This thing sounds like ass and is way louder than any other KB that I've ever owned. The dampening pad does nothing to help this. I know messing with the switch and reassembling the KB will do nothing for it. The stabilizers also sound awful and will need replacing.
the knob LED can only be turned on and off. You can't change the lighting effect on it or switch it to a solid color.
When plugged into a cable, the battery indicator stays on. The color can't be changed either.
For the price, it would have been nice if it worked with QMK or VIA. I really do like the case on this tho.
