Quality Control Guidelines:

A Stock (what customers can expect to receive)= Zero* exterior imperfections, except with the brass bottom. *If there is a pin dot size on patina (up to the size of 1mm) this is still consider A stock because sometimes it's impossible to avoid

A- Stock = Tiny imperfection (like a discolor and dot) but not on the top surface (so side or bottom imperfection)

B = Tiny imperfection on top surface.

Heavy Heavy Heavy

Good board (especially in Winkey configuration without the blocker height issues), the lack of indented sides makes it hard to pick up given the weight of the brass bottom.
I can barely hold it with two hands, let alone one.
Great packaging and excellent QC from Deskhero, love the included metal artisan.

Not worth the money or hype

Pros:
- The board looks great and all, especially if you get the brass version

Cons:
- Not a fan of stainless steel with brass together.
- Everything from the board to the extras are just way to overpriced in my opinion to really even consider this unless you have money to burn
- WKL blockers are not tall enough
- Not enough options for plates

Preference:
- Heavy AF, impossible to carry around if you get the brass version
- Stiff typing feel

Shipping was extremely fast, and the product is excellent. I would highly recommend this seller.

Has a very good shape, amazing packaging, probably the best I’ve ever seen. Clicks and mouse buttons feel good, the only problems are that it’s smaller than I thought it would be, and the feet feel very, and I mean very scratchy
