I assembled my board today and whilst the top plate is pretty rough and jagged, I got all the cherry browns in with a little bit of elbow grease and no filing. the rest of the assembly process went off without a hitch, and whilst the stablizer on the space does rattle a bit, I'm glad I used it as the action is great.
Right now my main feedback is that the front row could probably do with more tapered keys (although I don't know whether this is something that could be done with commodity parts), and that the firmware (which I'll be upgrading to latest tomorrow) seems to just stop responding after a while of inactivity. Other than that I'm pretty happy as whilst the top plate is jagged in places, this doesn't seem to affect the end product in my case, and whilst the anodised aluminium isn't quite the texture and finish I was expecting, the colour and heft is still pretty satisfying. Maybe the instructions and default layout (especially the keycap profiles for each row) could be a little easier to find?
