I would really love to have this keyboard, and QMK is incredible but I've been burnt before by Massdrop and Ortholinear's hardware quality. Bought the previous Preonic with MX Blue switches and the plate was so messed up that it pressed into the keycaps and made them "sticky" as in some of them don't bounce back up once pressed down. At first I thought it was my fault but apparently it was a prevalent issue. Now I have a pretty expensive non operational paperweight.
They say they solved the issue with the top plate but in the pictures it still looks jagged and I don't feel like throwing my money down the drain again. It's hard to believe a product as expensive as this goes to market without significant QA.
