Cool little board.  I love my SIIG with SMK 2nd gen switches, but I hate where the control key is :(

These are foam and foil, right?

These are rubber domes with sliders, similar to those found on the BTC 5130, etc. Honestly, they’re pretty much poor man’s Topres  :))

These would be dome-'n'-slider (https://deskthority.net/wiki/BTC_dome_with_slider#Keyboards) though, right?

Indeed. Same switches, mounts and everything. Honestly am tempted to get one myself!

So they're good? Even though they're, like, domes?

They are very good for domes, one of the most tactile ones out there! All for a fraction of the cost Realforce and other Topre boards are. Of course there are other great dome and slider keyboards but they're harder to find. Such as the Qtronix Scorpius, etc.

Chryos has done a video review of his BTCs boards before too, you could find it on his channel somewhere!

I stand corrected... Guess I wasn't using my dome.
