Everything was nicely boxed and wrapped, just a couple of very minor bumps and scuffs on the box.
I love mechanical keyboards and have made a few now, so was ready to tear this one open and mod it. I have always hated clicky switches so was ready with some gateron pro v3 yellows, all carefully hand-lubed to my liking. Turns out, I love this keyboard as it is. I haven't tried to open it up, tape or foam it, I love it as it is. From what I can tell, the stabs are satisfactory, (with the clickiness, I can't hear any rattling, ticking etc) and the switches feel pretty smooth yet with a tiny bit of tactility as expected for this retro-style. The Kailh box whites (V2) are much nicer than I thought they would be and feel much more premium than their usual price would suggest. Tested other switches with the big button but the gat greens were my favourite.
Much better experience with this keyboard than other premades!
Overall, this keyboard is far nicer to use than other pre-built mech-keebs
