Pros

  • Compact 36-key layout keeps finger travel short
  • Reviewers praise the thumb cluster design
  • Runs QMK, with combos and a Colemak Mod-DH keymap available
  • Low-profile Kailh Choc switches with light 20g springs

Cons

  • So few keys means relying on layers and combos, which takes time to learn
  • Thumb keys are mostly 1u; at least one reviewer wanted a second 2u key
