It was a nice enough mechanical keyboard alternative for three years, but now all the keys around the enter need to be hammered on to activate. I didn't spill anything on it; I took it apart and cleaned it; and it just doesn't work well. So, anecdotally, be weary.
Maybe this is a great keyboard (Lord knows I love the Niz Plum 87—I bought two of them), but the one I got was unusable. It either wouldn't respond to any key presses or worse, would work for a few keystrokes (with major, crazy-making lag) before causing ALL connected USB input devices (including mouse) to stop working. If I had to guess, it seems like it was just flooding the USB interface with bad signals and eventually saturating its memory. This persisted with different cables, host USB ports, hubs, adapters, etc. Whatever the cause, it wasn't acceptable, so I sent it back.
Didn't get this particular model but ended up buying Niz Atom 68 (2019 model), it was great, would highly recommend getting any of the models after 2019 (clear switches).
So far, pretty awesome typing experience. I'm a sucker for really light weighted switches and this is the lightest I've tried. You can really relax your fingers while typing, I feel like I can work for hours on this thing. Not too light to the point where mistypes are an issue too - actuation point is deep enough where you can easily rest your fingers on keys without accidentally actuating. And they are super smooth, minimal scratching, switches come pre-lubed out of the box, plus they're very quiet! It really feels like your typing on a cloud. Only downside for me is exclusion of USB-C.
for the price, I'm not sure if I'd pick this one up again. it's still fairly loud (I got it for the supposed silence), the space key came warped, some of the keys are misshapen (Home key???). also, I know it comes with springs, but the keys are wayyyy too light for me (just personal preference) and I found it hard to type on moving from MX Reds. I love the colorway and layout though (kinda weird sizes and stuff but that's ok) and for a capacitive board the price is pretty good.
The keyboard is pretty nice. The typing experience is really satisfying and I absolutely love the sound. However, I did have a few nitpicks.
One of these is that the input is advertised as "USB-C". However, the actual input is mini B. I found this to be pretty annoying since all of my other boards are USB-C and I just use one cable for all of my boards. The information on the product page should be accurate, and as I look at the images, the cable does appear to be Mini B. Drop should really fix this issue.
The other thing is that I tried to replace the keycaps, however the stabilizers are nothing like any stabilizers I have ever seen before. They are extremely flimsy and when I took off the stabilized backspace key, the stabilizer fell apart on me and it took me nearly 30 minutes to put it back with tweezers. I ended up deciding not to replace the keycaps as it was a real pain just to replace one stabilized key.
Those are the big negatives.
On the other hand, I absolutely love the switches. I expected to need the springs to beef up the mere 35g weight, but it feels perfect for me. I went from a ~85wpm typing speed to a ~100wpm typing speed. While the stabilizers are flimsy, they don't rattle at all and really help to make the keyboard produce the deep/hollow noise that I think is just the best. The plastic case is also really nice and thick and has quite a bit of weight to it.
Overall, the board is a near perfect board with a few issues that I find may be a deal-breaker.
