Reccomendation Comments from Stuff:

The kit includes not only the case, plate and PCB, but also the keycaps and cables.
The case and plate are coated with ceramic coating Cerakote™, which is quite durable.
In addition to the standard white and black colors, vivid yellow and pale tan are also added to the lineup, making it attractive to those who are looking for a stylish keyboard.
The keycaps come with the kit are also very unique. You might think that each case comes with the same keycaps, but the colors are slightly different.

There are cool typography printed in pbt keycaps, which is interesting to see up close and you can discover something new.

The keyset have sub-legends that match the default keymap.
I think this product can be recommended to those who want a unique keyboard or who want to be particular about their daily use keyboard.
