Pros

  • Diodeless direct-pin wiring keeps the build simple
  • Bluetooth is possible with nice!nano controllers
  • Low profile and very compact, so it travels well
  • Works with both QMK and ZMK

Cons

  • With only 34 keys you have to learn layers and combos
  • The recommended version has soldered switches (Mill-Max hot-swap sockets are optional)
  • Not sold assembled; you order the PCBs and build it yourself
