I received today (7/9/2020) in Tokyo, Japan.
I bought an E-coat white case, E-coat white aluminum plate, brass plate, 45g dome, RGB Bluetooth PCB. (currently only using the brass plate)
Wrote down my thoughts on the typing feel or design and explained the problems below.
Many design problems occur during assembly.
I think the packaging is good. The package was just a black box, but it's packaged well so that it doesn't get scratched.
The exterior is flawless (There were so few blemishes). brass plate and aluminum plate, E-coat was perfect. And I'm also satisfied with the typing feel. you can feel the subtle pleasure somewhere in between the Happy Hacking keyboard and the Real Force
(My own Atom68 Alu is complete stock with the brass plate and GMK Samurai).
got only one rubber dome while I bought 2
preventing from scratch! nice idea
insane quality
better than the render
This light means that your side button is pushed by alu button endlessly.
So when you see this light. go open the upper case. With this status, do not properly work.
Literally, do nothing in this status. your computer can't recognize the keyboard.
Can you see the light reflection of brass plate through the gap between the keycaps?
That is where I fell in love with the keyboard
linked the comparison type demonstration with atom 66, both keyboards are stock, didn't lubricate anything. Click to Expand.
Used 45g domes for Alu case with brass plate. 35g domes +10g spring for Atom66.
Lubed with Tribosys 3204
Multiple assembly Issues that can be solved.
only for my keyboard(contacted with Niz and they suggested their solution. They do reply quickly!
, Description is written down below, solved).
This is the biggest reason I wrote down this thread.
There are too many issues with the assembly.
I hope you don't waste your time.
As you assemble, please check my descriptions and assemble them.
Tip1 :
When you pull out the keycap using stabs, the slider comes out together.
You can gently press each slider at each point(do not press while it sticks under the keycap. Press them individually.) so the sliders go back to where they were.
The slider has a two-jointed shape and one side protrudes downwards.
bottom protrudes must toward the top of the keyboard(far from you) or noise will occur!
don't know why
Tip 2: Make sure that the slider is positioned properly in the grooves of the switch.
or your slider rattles
Caution 1: The rubber sticker(?) for gasket mount is a double-side sticker! so do not pull off upper side vinyl! we do not want to stick the plate in the case!
(Personally, have to open to lubricate the interior. or changing the plate)
Issue 0: The Bluetooth dongle that came with was broken with one usage
nothing to say about it, just see this.
)
Issue 1: The latch on the switch prevents the slider from rising.
you have to check each switch before you close your interior.
Issue 2: The latch for fixing the stabilizer, keeps the keycap stop! can't rise or be noisy
You can see that the latch prevents the sliders to move.
Issue 3: The aluminum button must be far from the actual button when you assemble the keyboard! or the alu button will press the button endlessly
When the button is pressed, one of the buttons will solely become bright.
I lubricated this.
When I try to move, the friction is too big, so this keeps pressing the button without coming back when I press it once.
This will ruin your keyboard until you open the case.
Issue 4: screw hole issue
With four tightenings and four loosenings, one screw hole is completely broken!
By the way, feel sorry for showing my legs.
Watch your eyes!
Contacted to Nizkeyboard about the issue 4, Niz checked the video(7/9).
----added 7/10-----
They suggested me to use a new screw for that hole. They said, they will newly design and send the new screw. They also told me that the on rubber dome that didn't arrive will be sent with the new screw.
I think the solution they suggested is convincing and wise.
The keyboard is functionally and outwardly intact while the one screw hole went bad, and what I want is just, fix the case firmly.
I think it's a waste to make another perfectly painted case for my hope.
Again, the feedback was so fast! they offered me a solution at 2 a.m., the very next day after the checking of the issue.

Received a rubberdome and the new screw. The screw worked well. Happy for the fast shipping.
