Well, all I'm going to do is give my reasons for choosing KAM:
They are one of the few manufacturers who can actually produce this design. GMK can't do it, SP can't do it, ePBT can't do it yet, Drop/MT3 can't do it as far as I can tell, maybe Infinikey can do it and that's about it? The design is the leading factor in choosing a manufacturer and not something I would have considered compromising on, otherwise there's no point in doing it at all.
I wanted a uniform profile for this set for it's ease of kitting, flexibility for those with less common layouts and the aesthetic which to me fits the theme.
The MOQ system and pricing from Keyreative is attractive and ensures no kits get canned and everyone gets what they order.
Communication for me has been good enough, I've received my samples which were produced exactly per my requirements and were colour matched perfectly 1st time round. I'm just awaiting quotes now. So sure there probably are issues with lead times and comms but it was the best choice for this particular set, and I stand by it.
