Beautiful board with good bones

Honestly I first thought the board wouldn't be special to me because it doesn't have any of the "fancy" features many boards have today (wireless, ball catch, etc.) but it is a simple, beautiful board, with options, that sounds great. I've built mine with MMD princess tactiles and love it so much so that I'm willing to use a non-wireless board. Love it!

Pretty board with flaws.

The design is very pretty. There's a good amount of weight to the board that makes it feel premium. The interchangeable badge gives it character. The logo on the back weight is nice. Front height is comfortable - not too high.

The pcb damages the bottom case's screw posts in oring mount when compressed. Customizability and support for this board is extremely limited. There are no options to purchase separate PCBs and plates. Plate files are also not public. Top case is slightly bigger than bottom case, so the top and bottom case will not be flush against the sides.

The jst cable doesn't have a channel to rest in, so the hotswap sockets will bottom out/touch the jst & case if you dont position it correctly around the hotswap sockets.

There are just too many inconveniences with this board for me to recommend.

Less of a flaw, more of a preference - Top mount mounting posts near spacebar are uneven.
