I was delighted to find my Plum84 arrived several days earlier than expected. The lighting features are great and look nice. The LED's are also very bright, and they even have the Ducky Raindrops style effect. While not as feature packed as a Ducky keyboard, there are still some great settings.
Coming from Cherry and Gateron switches, these 35g electro-capacitive switches are very different. They do feel a little like a rubber dome, but do not feel mushy at all. So these are definitely an improvement over rubber domes. 35g feels very light and the switches slide down very smoothly. No complaints here.
When the board first arrived and I plugged it in, the FN+NumLock was on and several keys were only outputting numbers. But after pressing FN+NumLock the keyboard began to function as normal. Highly recommending this keyboard for anyone on the fence. Thanks MD!

io2redI too highly recommend this keyboard. Been using it for some months now as one of my daily drive keyboards. You can make it feature packed as a Ducky keyboard by using the programming software for this keyboard. That's one of the most important points about this keyboard, the programmability. Ducky keyboards don't exactly have that. But this keyboard is still good on its own, regardless. Ducky keyboards are still great, though.
I can agree that LED lighting is nice on this board; crisp. There are seven standard colour lightings to choose from with various LED effects, or you can make your own with the programming software. The programming software for this keyboard only works on Windows and not Apple, if you're a regular Apple user, for anyone wondering.
There is an MX variant with Gateron switches on this keyboard, but I recommend to give these cloned Topre switches a chance on this keyboard, they're really good. Any Novatouch or Topre switches users can certainly agree here about electro capacitive switches.
Only little problem with this keyboard is finding a replacement space bar which is kind of a drag for the size this keyboard uses. It's a 5.5u. Nothing wrong with the stock, replaced mine as I wasn't quite feeling the logo.

Make no mistake that this is one keyboard that ticks a lot of points.

ViraThe XDA profile sets such as MiTo's set on Massdrop right now feature 5.5u spacebars, however, I'm not a fan of DSA with the exception of it's form. Subsequently, I have a feeling XDA will likely suffer the same fate if I try it out on any boards of mine.

brianjkingYou can always resell the set on the Mech market or so. It's just that 5.5u are just as rare as small space bars but these small space bars are starting to be a little more common.

dangadileHi,
common tip, if you use the format @dangadile (in your case @Vira) the person should get a message by mail, which makes it easier to get an answer. https://www.originativeco.com/products/modern-beige / https://geekhack.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=ih5k5kc1lntjlve4c1bgentn2m4h8g4e&topic=83409.0
