I was reading the reviews after purchase and it scared me to upload the software. Others posted that they have fixed the Trojan in the manufacturers software but my computer still flagged it. Luckily I found some awesome post to change my RGB without the software and everything works as expected. I used Gateron 5 pin linear switches and it sounds so creamy! I absolutely love it with the trailing RBG option :)
Great cheap option for a first hotswap or "tester" board
The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I can't on principal. For the purpose of being a cheap board you can use as a starter or a tester board (as in my case) for new switches, this is a fantastic option. The board itself just isn't a 5 star board.
I'm currently displaying the white version of the board in my office with Oblotzky SA Oblivion V2 keycaps. I love the look of the caps, but I can't daily SA's when I have so many sets of MT3's. The board has a mixture of Keychron KPro Brown, Jwick Taro Tactile, and MMD Princess Tactiles in different sections. I use it to demonstrate the difference in feel and sound between my daily board that has a lot of dampening, DCX Amethyst, and lubed HPX switches.
Bottom line: A great cheap board to test the water with, or just to display extra caps/switches you have laying around.
I got this kit after buying a similar one for almost twice the price from NovelKeys. I have not stopped recommending this model to people. It is sturdy, including its flip-out legs, and it has three different options for plugging in your cable (although they don't all fit the same shape of cords). The look is clean and modest, which fits a classy, minimalist aesthetic when picking out keycaps. It supports LED coloring, which is easy to set up. It's lightweight, but feels substantial. I will never buy an overpriced DIY kit again after this one; all future TKL setups will be using this model of chassis.
I used this to assemble my first 'custom' keyboard, and I do not regret this choice. Love the high profile design, and feels very sturdy and hefty for the price.
