7 / 10 Expert Rating
The cheapest legitimate way to get a hot-swappable QMK-capable mechanical keyboard from a known brand.

Premium custom-keyboard feel, build, and programmability at a fraction of a custom build's cost — the best mechanical keyboard for most people, barring competitive 2.4GHz needs.
