Pros:
  • Nice Stack Overflow novelties
  • South facing switches (though XDA profile doesn't care about that)
  • Runs on QMK
  • Nice finish on the aluminum case.
  • Cutouts for the rubber feet on the case, unlike my planck (my biggest problem with that board).
  • Factory lubed box blacks are pretty smooth compared to many of the other options. They sound decent, and have a cutout for LEDs if you want to desolder to lube the switches anyway.
Cons:
  • No 5 pin switch support? There are small holes in the board where they should be, but they're WAY too small.
  • The holes for the switch leads are also too small. They can't fit mill-max sockets inside, so this board can never be hotswap, even with modding.
  • RGB underglow, but no visibility. Waste of space for those LEDs on a crowded board. We could have had Kailh hotswap instead. Or at the very least, properly sized soldering pads
  • Soldering pads are really tough to get solder to stick to. Most difficult pads I have ever worked with (I have a bachelor's degree in computer engineering and we had some pretty bad PCB mills there lol).
  • Too many components leading to a very difficult to solder PCB. Switch soldering points are really close to important components.
  • Keycaps came with uneven edges.
  • Rubber feet have very weak adhesive.
Overall it's great for what it is, but the PCB design and materials are just so awful. QMK support is amazing though, and it's what gives this thing its value, other than the novelty of stack overflow keycaps.
