What do you think of it? Worth a try?
So far I only tried Cherry profile..

My thoughts are that I like how rounded the corners are, but am disappointed by how shallow the dishing is. I also think there is a bit too much texture to them.

As a designer I would want to know more about the available colors that I would have to work with. Typically a new vendor starts out with very few color options, which puts them far behind the offerings of a company like Signature Plastics. I just don't see enough benefits over DSA to make switching to them (as a designer) worthwhile.

Thin-ish PBT, uniform profile, and not sculpted enough on top. For me, that's three strikes and out.

I'm mildly curious and, assuming they do additional runs in the future, may well try them out. Right now money is set for the XMIT hall effect board and Dasher/Dancer sets. Beyond those, I'm trying to avoid putting more money into keyboard stuff unless I really need it.

But what about that for the price?? Since is not that expensive should have a good quality at least...at least....
