First Full Custom KB Build
Everyone has to start somewhere, and I started here. I've done my share of pre-built KBs and as I'm sure many of us here have noticed none are perfect. The keycaps are good but the keys are flaccid. The keys are good but the backboard is iffy. Building a full board is something I look forward to typing on. A combination of lubed Panda keys and dual-injection MT3 caps provide a muted feedback that's like laying back in a broken-in leather couch. The only downside being it doesn't want for rapid typing. The key cap design requires more "lift" than a flatter key, and the keys while fluid seem...laggy. overall a solid 4/5 overall.

Dear MassDrop, I asked before if the previous issue/s were ironed out, seems they aren't. The cap as it stand now is unusable due to the horrible short depth in the stem. While I like this cap a lot, it's just not worth it when there are plenty of 3D cap makers who produce far better quality caps for cheaper. I am curious if someone isn't doing their job? Who approves this after having put in on a keyboard, took pictures for the drop and clearly they knew it wouldn't seat right and can fall off if pressed? It is unacceptable.
PS Do not do this drop until you resolve this major and I mean glaringly horrible problem. Now I have to go get my dremel dirty to dig a deeper hole in the stem. Am I getting paid for this extra effort to make something work as it should out of the box? No. And I want 3D caps to succeed but they won't if you give them a bad name here.
