Pros

  • Steep column stagger and tucked-in thumb keys suit smaller hands
  • Hot-swap MX sockets, so switches can be changed without soldering
  • Per-key RGB, 128x64 OLEDs and piezo speakers on board
  • TRRS jack faces the back, keeping cables out of the way

Cons

  • DIY project: you have to build it yourself, and no finished units are sold
  • Only 36 keys, so you rely heavily on layers
  • GitHub repository is archived; the project moved to Codeberg
