Highlights⌗
Fun little keyboard with surprisingly good quality. The build was fun, the keycaps are double-shot and have decent design, especially when you consider the price is around 13€. The LEGO knock-off bricks are not the best quality, especially the tiles on top of the board.
The switches and typing feel is very nice. It uses tactile Choc V2 low-profile switches. This is the first time I encountered Choc V2 and I quite like them. They are much nicer than the V1 (that said, I only have a few V1s to compare them with) and use the same MX-style cross mount so you can re-use your existing keycaps.
Overall, the price is very impressive for what you get. The PCB even has per-key RGB if you are into that.
