Build Info

The F1-8X is a highly praised board particularly for the typing feel. I was skeptical at first, but quickly became a firm believer after building and using it. It does provide a unique bouncy typing experience where with every keystrokes you feel the reverb at your fingertips. This is not necessarily a good or bad thing, it is just a unique typing feel that some people find it satisfying. After typing on it for a week or so, I can say I am personally ADDICTED to that feeling, and it just makes typing that much more enjoyable. It is hard to describe in words, and this is where you can only understand it by actually trying it. The rather unique typing experience paired with minimalistic yet detail oriented design is what set this board apart from others. I consider this one of the masterpiece to forever hold its place in the Custom Mechanical Keyboard history.
