I have a few cheap keyboards that I've modded and changed switches in. Not sure if this board will be compatible with all switches, 3 and 5 pin. Most lower priced boards are 3 pin and some of those aren't compatible with all 3 pin switches. Some manufacturers use wider pins that will not fit in the board.
It's also a fake gasket mount design. I have a board that uses the same setup (TH66 Pro) , strips of soft material are sandwiched under the pcb rather than a true gasket that covers the entire perimeter. It still feels nice but it's not the real thing.

I don't care about RGB so the red is fine. Red also doesn't hurt my eyes or give any big-light energy.
10/10 for the price.

I only use split ortholinear/column-staggered ergo keyboards at this point so this isn't for me, but for most people who are looking for a totally familiar layout, this would be great.

It is a no-brainer second keyboard and probably a fine primary board.
