    My suggestion for anyone who gets a fresh NK65 is to take it apart and specifically loosen then finger tighten the screws that attach the plate to the top housing. I've had 3 NK65s and 2 of them developed cracks at the top left that is apparently from over tightening from the factory. on my 3rd one, in Smoke, I went in and loosened and finger tightened those screws from the start and no cracks have appeared.
    I believe the issue is supposed to have been fixed from the factory now, but I'd still suggest doing that just to be safe.

      it's very hard to find a miya pro with ec switches. unless you order direct from varmillo, with 50$ shipping (no way I'm doing that) so all mine are with cherry switches. my fav is cherry speed silver or reds.

      He really didn't do justice to the NK65. My NK is superb.

    That's one size of keyboard I just can't stand. It's Full Size or nothing for me. I MUST have the nav section and the numpad, period! These minis just don't do it for me. So I can safely say that I have not fallen for the hype.

      I kinda agree I never fell for the hype I got myself to go to TKL in the GMMK but don't see myself going any smaller and having to remember function levels for these smaller boards

    Lmao you sound biased from the beginning. The drop carina doesn’t compare at anything other than underglow...coming from a carina review from an unbiased reviewer posted today....read between the lines people 🤣🤣🤣
