Most of the people who own this keyboard will tell you that it isn’t the best budget keyboard of 2024, it is the best keyboard of 2024. Nothing comes close in terms of quality. Quality wise, the only upgrade to this keyboard would be a Mode Sonnet. But it makes sense being that this keyboard is the first keyboard that this brand has released. They made sure it was made very well with quality parts. I’m not a huge fan of plate mount stabs but they are even good on this keyboard. I have replaced mine with pcb mount screw in stabs though. But you honestly don’t need to. And the switches are fine but nothing to write home about. The switches and stabs are the only things I have replaced in mine. I installed Durock V3 PCB screw in stabs and Gatoron Black Ink Box v2 switches. And this keyboard doesn’t sound muted or foamy at all. It is great the build in force break silicon tabs do there job well and the gasket mount pcb has the perfect amount of flex without being mushy. I will say get the plus model for a couple bucks more or just buy the FR4 plate if you do get the basic model. It has a better feel and sound. But the PC plate is just fine tbh.
This keyboard is honestly the sleeper of 2024
I'm thinking of buying this keyboard, what do you think?
