I just bought this for a slightly higher price last week. Great for an ITX build, but definitely better offers out there if you can opt for mATX or ATX. Mostly great though having some issues with the front M.2 slot, gonna try a few other troubleshooting ideas but I've tried 3 NVMe SSDs in it and they don't appear in BIOS or Windows. Rear slot works fine. Maybe something to do with it being Gen 5...
Oh lol, reminds me of this same issue I had with my old ROG x570i motherboard. There was a pcie connector ribbon cable connecting the front raised M.2 slot to the motherboard below. Every time, the front M.2 slot was fiddled with, that cable got loose and the drive was not detected in the BIOS. I had to manually press the ribbon cable connector on the motherboard with my thumb every time. If yours have the same cable type connector for the front M.2, it might be a reason.

Yes! Ended up realizing that when I removed the heatsink to swap the drive, the whole module would come off the board but I never noticed. So I literally just had to push it down and it works fine...that's definitely an issue with this board though.
