Do they feel too light to you? I am really happy to see similar but cheaper alternatives to Topre but god damn why are they all designed to be activated by a feather?

I'm not a fan of double shot PBT keycaps where they use backlit molds to make non-backlit caps.  There's no reason to have the alternate legends next to the main ones on the number keys on a keyboard like this.  I have a Ducky keyboard like that, and it bugs me some days.  Tai Hao and Leopold do it right.

I would really like to see more NiZ 45g keyboards.  The lighter keys on the Realforce keyboards I've had feel mushy.  45g is my preference.

Yeah,, 45g is available in some other models, like the nano75, 82 keys, 84 keys,87TKL... But they are not water resistant..

By the way, do you guys think necessary to own a water resistant keyboard ? ;D ;D

I own somewhere around 40 mechanical keyboards.  Some are worth $100.  Some are worth $700.  I have never needed one be water resistant.

I much prefer the font and color scheme of the keycaps on the older NIZ boards. This doesn't look classy at all imo.
