Nice keyboard, thanks for the review. Kinda looks like a DuckyShine3 to me, but I won't complain.
Well, you obviously aren't aware of /r/MechanicalKeyboards/ (Don't go if you want to keep your wallet)

Tremendous value.
Cherry MX switches alone are about 2 euros per piece!
Multiple keystrokes is a real problem, glad to see someone solved it.
I'd still like to see palm/wrist rest at the bottom, oh and shiny LCD at the top 😀
Gold plated USB connectors... hmm.
This is audio-centric analysis, but still valid:
Myth: Gold-plated connectors sound better than connectors made with tin or nickel.
Fact: Gold does not tarnish, and tarnished connectors can cause problems, but there is nothing inherent in gold that makes it sound better than a clean connection using standard materials. Further, it is possible for connections using dissimilar metals to oxidize and deteriorate more quickly than if the same metal were used. So, mating a gold plug with a non-gold jack could theoretically make things even worse! Moreover, connectors plated with gold often use a very thin coating because of gold's high cost, and that plating can wear off with repeated plugging and unplugging. Therefore, while it would be unfair and untrue to say that gold connectors are a bad thing, unless both connectors are gold they are at best a waste of money and at worst a potential for eventual trouble.

Yes, but it's never going to be worse than a non-gold plated jack or socket in that respect, it's chemically impossible!
Well obviously he doesn't know wtf he's talking about. And I am not saying gold plated connectors sound better; what I'm talking about is when gold is used as a protective coating compared to other protective coatings; you wouldn't use something like chrome in an audio application for instance which has a higher resistance than gold.

again... difference in specific resistance between gold and any other quality connector is a non-issue.
it's not impossible.
ask professionals. you need sturdiness over all
"The problem I have experienced is that I'm often in a position that I have to use something that has these connectors on it and I will frequently be connecting and disconnecting everything. You can't solve this problem by using gold plated connectors, the problem is that a good signal connection depends upon a good friction fit of the connectors - over time the plug and the jack stop fitting well and you may be forced to replace the jacks that are mounted in the gear. This type of connector is usually destroyed if anyone steps on it. "
