80 RETROS GAME 1989 PAD

The HMX switches came pre-installed and feel crisp right out of the box, no fiddling needed. The 6063 aluminum case has a nice solid heft that keeps the whole thing from sliding around on my desk. Typing on it for a couple hours now and I'm genuinely impressed.

The built-in foam does a surprisingly good job of killing ping, so the HMX monochrome switches sound deep and poppy instead of hollow. I also grabbed the theme-matching keycaps and the whole thing looks like a tiny arcade cabinet on my desk. Easy download for the JSON too, no fuss getting it set up.

The 6063 aluminum case has a nice heft without being too heavy on my desk, and the theme keycaps actually match my retro setup better than I expected. Typing on it feels solid since the plate and foam keep the sound from getting too hollow.
