Keyboard came in today.
Initial thoughts - looks good, a bit darker than on photos (grey version).
It came with some clicky switches, feels weird as I only used mx blues in the past, years ago actually.
Definitely going to swap them with my switches.
Caps look ok, but I did not but this keyboard for caps - its hotswap so will have it for juggling my keycaps sets.

Build is very solid, very good quality, very nice design. Rotaries are a bit stiff, feels like could be better quality mounted.
Need to install that software to assign those extra buttons for some macros.

tape mod will be done as well :)
