Missing screws, universal fitment style hole for connection cutout

The case itself is nice, precision cut, didn't have an issue getting the PCB in or anything, but the hole that's cut out for the USB-C is really big for no real reason. In addition, I did not receive any screws. Thankfully I had a previous keyboard build I wasn't using and I just used the screws from there.

Misalignment

Some misalignment on the scew locations. This is the second one I got, first one I got was better aligned with my 60% Pok3r

Dark walnut

Well, the dark walnut case is beautiful. A couple of issues with this case however. The wood was unprotected. no oil, no coating, no nothing. This case has the standoffs flush with the bottom, so you're limited on PCB choice, and you have to be careful to screw the PCB down! The hole in the bottom for the reset switch wasn't drilled through. The hole in the back for the USB port is sloppy. The included screws are not magnetic, a total pain in the backside! The wrist rest part of the model with wrist rest build in, is a little short for me personally. However I do still have the keyboard I've build in this case (joined this GB a few years ago)

I purchased the black walnut with wrist rest.
I was able to get 4/6 screws in and the USB cutout is fine. No rubber feet were included in my unit contrary to the pictures/description.
2/5 stars due to the price and the vendor's failure to response to legitimate criticisms of their product on Massdrop. Frankly I think that this drop is a gamble for $80 and I lucked out that my unit was more workable than others which I've seen described on here.

I can get all six screws in, but then the plate is pushed too far to the right and the right ctrl key jams up with the case. If I only use three screws, I can get it to fit centered in the opening. The USB cutout on the back is simultaneously too big and cut a little rough. It's not that it's awful on its own, it's that it's awful for $80. For that price it should be more precise than it is.

Received my maple case today, about two months ahead of listed ship date(which is great in this hobby of pay and wait..and then wait some more). Over all the build quality itself isn't bad for the price - but not great. Just a couple of nickpicks that possibly has to do with the nature of the wood itself for my particular case(maple): the case is warped and will rock slightly along the bottom right, and a small dent along the outer edge. Both are fixable I think with a little elbow grease, so it's not of great bother to me.
Another point of note for me is the sound. The wood reverberates and intensify whatever sound your board makes and it can be loud depending on the pcb/plate/switches combo you are using. My case is the wrist-restless model and the screw posts are not on risers so there's no room for dampening material, a slight unfortunate design deviation in my opinion.
I also have the kbdfans' wood case and it is just overall a better product in comparison, plus it comes with a matching wrist rest. The only catch and it's a major one for me is that it's not a high profile, which this RG case is.

I do like that this is a high profile case, I hate floating KBs because they seem unfinished and in the case of RGB KBs, I don't like the light reflecting off my screen. External quality is ok if you don't look too close. For instance one side might be slightly rounded while the other side is perfectly square. I've had half a mind to take a router to the outside edge and add a 1/8" radius all the way around just to make it even, but then I'd need to sand the whole thing down and refinish it and I haven't had the time.
My first Royal Glam is the maple without the wrist rest. It seemed great until one day I turned the KB upside down because a crumb had fallen between the keys and my board just fell out. I glued the standoffs back in with two part epoxy and it has been fine.
I bought another one with the wrist wrest figuring I would just epoxy them in again from the get go but this time they came glued in with gorilla glue. The problem with Gorilla glue is that it expands as it cures and it filled up three standoff threads so there was no way to put screws in them. I ordered some new M2 standoffs and epoxied them in and everything is fine but I probably won't buy Royal Glam again.

hyperspriteUpdating this: On my wrist wrest version, the finish is degrading on the wrist wrest itself. It feels like raw wood now and will need to be refinished at some point. It's only been a few months. Still would not recommend to a friend.
