the switches are okay, they're obvs not Cherry but they feel good, there's obvious variance in the actuation force which I'm still getting used to (I used Cherry MX Black before, these are Outemu Blacks)
the layout sucks, ISO is so much better (not really but it'll take me quite a while to adapt to this)
my hope is that an international layout will help with programming, all the brackets are kinda hidden away on German ISO layout
