  Awesome, thanks for the info. Never have had an Ortho before, so a bit scared to explore that area.
context: thank you for sharing. Sorry for the missing stabs at the beginning.  our bad : ( >
  
  haha, no worries. CS is top notch 👍🏻 >
  
  Just got my XD75 from them. Pretty happy with it honestly. I'll probably try some of the other kits in the future. >
  
  I'm not affiliated with Kprepublic in any way, so this is my genuine opinion: I really love their company. They seem to be people who are really passionate about spreading the mechanical keyboard hobby and making the experience nice for everybody.
  So how'd the XD75? I'm quite curious about that board. It looks REALLY nice imo >
  
  Pretty good. I went with the bent steel case with diffuser. Made it to the PNW in less than two weeks. Underglow looks great and the diffuser works as intended. PCB looked fine, just like the picture, no noticeable issues, every key worked. It was a tad bit tricky to mount, but not too hard. The switches all fit well. It feels rock solid, the top mount works because of how rigid the steel is. Very thocky with my Akko switches. Before this I had a Planck, and found it too small. I feel like the 75 Is just the right size. It was easy to flash with QMK and I already have my custom keymap on it. The worst part is getting keycaps if you want something other than the few sets you can find on Ali. I ended up just splurging $150 on dye-sub DSA from SP. If you want a mid size Ortho that's bigger than a Preonic this is really the only option. I think it's worth the money.
