  1. 2:49 okay I’m buying it this Friday! Are you a sales man? You are really good on what your doing lol thanks so much for sharing this video

  2. How do the keys feel? I have the epomaker rt100. The keys are super quiet as got sea salt silent switches. But I don’t like they are kinda spongy and you can’t really “feel” them when pressed. So its so easy to accidentally press them instead. Tried swapping out keys for budgerigar ones, which have a proper click but they are too loud and I can’t dampen them as o-rings do nothing to dampen the click.
