Hey Geekhackers,
I usually just lurk but I wanted to share this. It's my first review so hope you guys like it.
I got this keyboard a month or so ago from taikohub.com (http://taikohub.com). It's my second dactyl manuform.

Features:
- Hotswappable
- Able to switch microcontroller from the stock Arduino Pro Micros to nice!nanos and other compatible microcontrollers.
Specs
- Wrist angle is about 40%
- Height 5cm, length 15cm, width 14cm
- Connects to PC via USB-C
- Keyboard pieces are connected via TRS cord
The keyboard is hotswappable and came with Gateron browns but I swapped them for Gateron yellows.
The appearance is really nice. The top case is a smooth matted resin. When I touch it, it almost feels soft. The bottom plate is hard plastic. As a nice touch, each bottom plate has a door you can open to replace the microcontroller.

You're able to switch the keyboard's Arduino Pro Micros for nice!nanos to enable wireless Bluetooth. I did this with my old dactyl keyboard but haven't gotten to this one.

Overall, it's very comfortable. The quality is excellent.
