Poor Quality

You're paying for a plastic shell and a hotswap-able PCB. The RGB/ Lighting software is horrendous, but the ports for the switches are decent. 2/5 Stars..

Great budget board but there are better ones for the price if you are patient

Great budget board. Unfortunately, stabs are plate mounted and bt connection is slow for gaming even with 5.0 enabled. Software is terrible btw.

Good board not a fan of software

You can’t remap default layer and other layers lag so if you’re fine with no remap then it’s no problem. Very few boards with this layout so can’t complain. Good could be better. Make it follow standard software would make it 5/5
