Interesting keyboard with quite a lot of features packed into 60% frame.
However, there are several key problems here - afaik only switches on this one are MX red / speed silver. Soft linear switch in combination with low profile key will result in very frequent misclicks.
Additionally, cheap laser etched ABS will start shine after several months, followed by letters wearing out. Here's an example of a very common issue in all those "g@m3r" keyboards.
Slap on top of it non-standard layout and low profile cherry keys and you have a wonderful set of incompatibilities with a vast majority of 3rd party custom caps sets which can partially "fix" the above issues.
Nice keyboard, but I wouldn't use it myself.
Misclick is really a silver (normal and even more on low profile) switch issue, those are really for skilled user for typing... or for gamer due to their conception.
Red are more everyday use and are more easy to use.
About the non-standard layout it is because there is many sub-layout exemple as born in France but not french resident i prefer use ISO FR keyboard but you have african, canadian, french, belgium (and more) all those sub-layout are ISO FR (AZERTY) but nearly all ponctuation and symbol are different.
It's the same for QWERTY exemple US layout is different than ENG one despite same language (also USA preference goes to ANSI layout over ISO and so the key are not in the same allignement).
And about the quality, It's not high quality PBT on keycaps... well... it's a "g@m3r keyboard" lol
Since i go to 62% keyboard i don't see me going back to TKS or full keyboard... but i won't go with this one despite some interesting thing in it.
Nice review Hilbert

It is nowhere near compact, unfortunately. I was waiting for this kb but it seems I'd stay with Anidees. Weird design decisions and large distance makes it not too appealing.
