    I think we are at the point where as long as you got SA keycaps, tape mod, and some PE foam or noico, your board will sound at least half decent regardless of the price. Mod the stabs, or even better, upgrade them if possible, and you're set. It's insane how affordable this hobby had become.

      @@selectiveamnesia1033 tbh I've heard some that arent too bad. But that board isnt meant for people looking for perfect sound signature. I think it's more meant for people just starting who want an easy experience in terms of purchasing everything you need in one spot. That being said, there are some mods that will make it sound much better. unfortunately it seems to nerf the sound of any switch you put into it. Most GMMK pro's sound the same.

Nicer switches, keycaps and a bit of work on the case and stabs goes a looooong way with such a basic barebones board
