Make no mistake, this product really is what it claims to be. It feels like a premium product, for what is only half the cost of other similar kits, like the KBD67 or the TADA68. This is a good buy, and I am very happy with my purchase! Review: Great Entry Level 65% Kit - This is a great board for a first time builder, and a great board to try out the 65% layout. The only problem I had was trying to install Screw-in stabilizers, as they were causing interference with the plate. I reluctantly installed the plate-mount stabilizers that were bundled in the kit and was extremely surprised by how nice they were with a little bit of thick grease. That being said, do not try to use PCB mounted stabilizers, they will likely not work unless there are some plates that have been modified to solve this problem, or you are willing to grind down the plate yourself. Highly recommend this board to a first time builder. You could easily build up this board for under $100 if you choose to use inexpensive switches and key caps (both of which YMDK sells).

Overall Quality Good, But Dead Trace on PCB
I really like the product overall, but there is a dead key on the PCB. I will update my review once this issue is resolved.

Adapter on PCB has been changed to USB-C
I have yet to assemble it and try it out. Came nicely packaged and free of damage. The seller should however, update the description for this article, as the USB port on the pcb on my product seems to have been changed from mini-usb to usb-c. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Great Product!
First of all I must say that this was my first custom build, so I don't know how this set compares to other diy kits like the tada68. However I must say that the build quality of this product is amazing. The finished build looks and feels amazing. Maybe a few things that can be useful to know since I wasn't aware of them while purchasing this: * The switches you need for this build should be plate mountable * The stabilizers that come with this product are also plate mountable For those of you that would like to program the pcb: It seems that the link to the json file in the programming guide is broken (at least the one via amazon.de). The document on amazon.com works though. The shipping was very fast and all of the part were good packed.
