Thoughts on this kit? https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/products/pre-orderkbd661-custom-mechanical-keyboard-kit?variant=2492606087181 (https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/products/pre-orderkbd661-custom-mechanical-keyboard-kit?variant=2492606087181)
I feel as if it looks great, but the preview pictures and exposure is not the great.
Thinking about grabbing it.

I think it looks odd with those SA caps on it. Looks uncomfortably tall. But it could be cool with some XDA or DSA caps.
-
From the perspective of someone that designs keyboards... What the **** :))
The concept of it is great, but the execution looks the opposite.
-
Also, I have an IGK6x aluminum case that flares out like that on the sides and the back. I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but it makes the case really hard to pick up and it just feels weird.
-
i looooooove the shape of the case, would have picked up if i didnt have 2 kits on the way lol
-
it looks like a giant keycap

Buahahaha
Thanks for the input everyone :)
I will probably wait for a Clueboard to be available.

I have one! Impulse buy over Christmas and it is certainly quirky but that's no bad thing imo.
The top cover completely covers the bottom, which is a good deal more substantial, the top does feel a little lightweight in comparison and you can only see the bottom colour under the board.
But overall I find it a substantial and unique board for $140 delivered, maybe best not with SA profile though, my only real issue is as reececonrad says:

Slips right through the fingers when moving it around the desk, anyway here are some pictures for your perusal/amusement....

Certainly looks better with GMK caps on it. SA is my favorite profile but it looks weird in this board
