- I don't like this screwless implementation because of the small screws.
- The front height is yikes, will probably be hard to use.
- Not a fan of the typing angle, it may be uncomfortable.
- Questionable the amount of foam used in the keyboard.
- I do not like Noob Bait keyboards.
- Concern about the alignment of the plate and case.
- Typing angle is a dealbreaker for me.
- Too much foam might mute the keyboard unnecessarily.
Suggestions
