this keyboard is truly one of the best budget keyboards i have ever tried. i never write reviews, but this keeb has all of the hot features the community has been seeking: hotswap, bt, wireless usb, wired usb c, rgb, rotary knob etc. what's crazier is that there's even more amazing features it comes with straight from the box.1. split layout: this is not a fully split keyboard, but the layout is well designed with just the right amount of difference to produce a more ergonomic experience w/o sacrificing too much of the user comfort and familiarity with the standard layout.2. comes with great linear switches and keycaps: the 3-pin ajazz sea salt linear switches are well pre-lubed and actually sound amazing, with great thocc sound without any modifications. they even provide 2 extra switches. the keycap themes look amazing and sound great as well, seems like thicker abs plastic.3. build quality: despite being made from plastic, the plastic build is truly fantastic, super durable, no flex, smooth all over, and helps produce a great thock sound.3. beginner-friendly: switching btwn connection modes is intuitive with the toggle switches at the top of the board, the rotary knob works seamlessly as default for volume control, and switching through rgb effects works perfectly. box comes with keycap and switch removers, clear manual, and usb c cable.4. board and feet: everything feels perfect with this board, and the feet are sturdy and balanced. the rgb is really good and there are even customizable side lights on the board!5. mind-blowing value: just the switches and keycaps themselves could be sold separately for nearly as much as buying the entire board itself. this was such an insane deal, truly. it also arrived within 2 days with amazon prime.the only cons may be that it doesn't seem like the board can be taken apart. you can remove the switches, but the board can't be opened up. additionally, the first board i received appears to have been used already, and the packaging was damaged. the keyboard was fine though.but overall, the best steal i've had in a while. was considering gatekeeping.important note: i initially thought the board was defective b/c of the padding on top of the PCB. it appears that the padding is meant to be stabbed into with the switches themselves. just form a dent with the switch and then firmly push down. test one key to make sure it works.
