Stability
The backspace stabilizers aren’t the best and my backspace is very loud when pressed because it shakes

Stubborn Plate
Great keyboard. Came with pcb foam, silicone dampening, and a few extra switches (2 cherry mx browns, one cherry mx red, and a purple-pink tactile switch from a brand called Jixian). I did struggle to remove the plate, even with all the switches and screws removed. I even needed extra help from a second person to remove the plate. I do have to give credit to the manufacturer for the attempt to lube the stabilizers and switches, although there is way too little lube. I didn't even notice there was lube on the stabilizers until I inspected the last stabilizer wire that i had to lube. Definitely lube the stabilizers yourself or get someone to do it for you, just don't use the stabs stock. Overall it's a pretty great keyboard with no issues minus the minor inconvenience that I encountered taking apart the keyboard. Overall I wouldn't recommend this keyboard to anyone with a budget over $120. With that money you could buy something like a kbd67 lite or the DNA 65 acrylic stack keyboard on Amazon.

Terrible response
Pros:- keyboard has foam between pcb and board, and silicone between pcb and switches.Cons:- response/connectivity.- have to put in a physical battery

It's mid, good for price, although not sure if you cant find a better deal
The only reason i am fine with this board is cause i already had older stabilizers i could use instead which I still had to modify so they could work without interfering with the travel. Overall if your fine with getting other stabilizers, and fine with using AAA which i was too focused on the form factor and price to notice lol, then the acoustics seem pretty decent specially for the price. I have yet to see the battery life but from what ive seen online 2 months something like that? Ill update if it suuuper short, hopefully not.

Nice Keyboard, Great for Travel
I use this as my travel keyboard, and it's really nice for that. There's not really much to say about this other than it's just a decent board for the price. It doesn't feel too brittle, and the wireless feature is convenient. I wish it had a wired connection as well, but it's not too big of a deal for a cheap kit like this.Just as a note to anyone that wants to mod this thing, it's super annoying to take apart. For some reason the screws that are used to keep it together are really, really stubborn and are a massive pain to remove.

Poorly made with dead connections
Many of the connections were dead on arrival. It wasn't the switches, as those worked in other connectors, but about 5-10 of the connectors were dead. Your milage may vary, but I would not recommend this product until the manufacturer ups their quality control.
