The seller was a pleasure to buy from. The keyboard works like a charm and everything was packaged well/arrived in perfect condition. I unfortunately made the mistake of taking off all the key switches at once instead of replacing each switch one at a time/row by row. This was 100% my fault because the seller included a paper with clear instructions, a caution, and instructional video that showed the proper way. My father always said I could never follow instructions well, he was right again... I was able to take the case a part and securely add all the switches back one by one. This took a good amount of time so I'm adding this as more of a disclaimer for anyone else looking to get freaky with the manuform! Thanks so much and happy holidays.

It’s such a beautiful keyboard design. It’s wacky and really helps when I’m trying to hit the “P” button since my pinkies are shorter. I love the split format because it provides extra space in the middle where there usually wouldn’t be any. It’s a perfect spot to set my homework! The keyboard is on the bulkier side, however it’s very lightweight. David really took great care of communicating with me about my order. I wanted all the keycaps white and David was able to provide me with that! Everything worked well out of the box and if I did encounter something, I was able to resolve it in little time by going to the website where David provides more information about the keyboard. An amazing buy for sure!

I got what I expected. I put my own key caps on and it became a thing of beauty. Thanks David!
