Very nice in many ways, let down in others
So despite the negative reviews, I thought I'd give this a try since it's the cheapest 75% kit i've seen. Some good points, I personally really like the barrel style encoder for the volume control, I hadn't seen it in other boards before and it works nicely. The acrylic layer around the case with the RGB coming through looks really good. Some downsides: not good for disassembly, 2 screws are under the rubber feet, didn't come with any switch/keycap puller which the manual says is included. The PCB I recieved had one of the hotswap sockets missing, just not there at all it hadn't broken or anything. I could've returned it but I already put most of my switches in and the board works perfectly fine but I need to solder that one switch unfortunately. Lots of hollow space under the PCB, only a very thin layer of foam but that's not too hard to fix. I've had problems with the bluetooth connection but the 2.4GHz and wired modes are working well. Obviously this is a very budget board so doesn't have the higher end features like gasket mount or anything, but if you're on a budget I'd say it's a nice board that can modified and upgraded. If you have the money the Feker IK75 is apparently a better option, but I do like the aethetics of this board and for £50 I think it's good value, there are much worse options at this price. The TM680 is the same price and much worse quality. Just be sure to inspect and test your board carefully and get a replacement if you have any issues like missing hotswap sockets like I had.
