Aside from the obvious eye catching features, I really enjoyed the typing experience on this board. I predominantly use fr4 plates. I wasn't a big fan of the flex cuts on the fr4 plate but nonetheless, there's very little to complain about since the flex cuts wasn't too overwhelming.
Assembling the board itself wasn't that complicated. The build guide is pretty straightforward. However, I would be very careful on the leaf springs as they can be shifted easily and prevent the top case to close. No biggie, just something to that could happen to someone who wasn't paying attention like I did.
The plate foam seemed to expand beyond the PCB, don't be alarmed by it. I personally do not care about this since to me it just means extra protection around the case but there were times where I had to shove the foam away from the leaf springs since it made it harder for me to close / open the board. Once again, no biggie, just something I noticed.
Overall, it was absolutely worth the money. Order was shipped a week after it was ordered and it arrived 3 days sooner than what DHL forecasted. This is my first QK and certainly won't be my last.
Love everything about this thing. From the build process to typing and gaming. It does it all in style
This keyboard design is an absolute eye-catcher! The layout is thoughtfully designed with a modern and futuristic look, especially the top case's ice cold smooth anodized finish with one of the functional and playful screen I have seen on a keyboard. To add icing to the cake, there is a dot matrix which lightly up and customizable as well. Thereby it feels tailored for both functionality and style.
Overall, this keyboard is a beautiful blend of premium materials, smart engineering, and elegant design. Perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and high-quality builds.

Amazing quality and easy to build. Highly recommend 10/10
This is punching waaaaaay above its price point. The level of detail is amazing and quality is higher than most boards that are 3x the price.
I really love it, looks sleek on the desk, sounds incredible with just about any switch I tried on it, the typing experience is fantastic thanks to the leaf spring mount, the screen is super high quality and looks amazing and the matrix module is also super fun to create custom animations to pair nicely with the gifs you put on the board or just as a nice typing display.
I have only 2 points of criticism.
I feel like the slogan on the back of the board is out of place and takes away from the aesthetic of the board, easy to ignore because it's on the back but still.
And number 2 is more of a personal preference thing but the FR4 plate has way too many cuts which doesn't pair nicely with the non flexcut pcb and I'm pretty sure impacts the sound negatively.
Even with these two points, I still think this board is a 5/5, just incredible.
great work
The keyboard is amazing! Not only does it work perfectly, assembly was nice and easy.
The ease of building and modifying the board is excellent.
