| Cons , different | Mini-USB connection, which both Tech Critter and Techtesters would swap for USB-C Right Shift and left Windows key are non-standard, so standard custom keycap sets will not fit (Tech Critter) Switches are fixed at purchase, with no hot-swap Techtesters found the feet too easy to fold in and wanted an English manual Cherry MX Blue units are loud (Techtesters) | Wired only, with no Bluetooth or dongle (Tom's Guide) No companion software; macros and lighting are set by key combinations (Tom's Guide, IGN Middle East) Tom's Guide noted limited macOS support and a firmware update that is available only for Windows IGN Middle East found the stabilizers needed fine-tuning for the sound to match the board's build Plain wired feature set compared with Keychron or Akko boards that add QMK/VIA (IGN Middle East) |
| Research take , different | A well-reviewed, no-frills compact board that gets its praise for build, stabilizers and keycaps. Choose it if you want a finished 66-key board; skip it if you want hot-swap, USB-C or custom keycaps. | A solid-feeling wired TKL that reviewers like for typing, held back by missing wireless and software. Tom's Guide questioned its cost; choose it for the Cherry feel and keycaps, not for features. |
