There's a USB hub behind there. Still, I agree it's ugly but at least it's functional.

This is why you don't leave bad code in your software. It will never be refactored and however bad it might be someone will try to stamp it as "best practice" and sell it to the users.

Hey I like my DAS boards. I have two I used a few years back (my first mechs) I'll be trying to sell them here shortly... not because I don't like the boards... just because I don't use full size boards anymore.

They just released a TKL a few months ago!

It was the first keyboard they've released not using cherry mx switches though, they opted for Greetech switches in the 4c.
