This is it. Mirror 98 review!

Ғылым және технология

I feel like every month I need to revise my "it's crazy what ___ gets you these days" statements, because now $150 seems like the new $200... But for under $150, the mirror 98 gets you a plateless full-size, and that's crazy. While it does have a few quirks that I'd like to see worked out in the production model, it's crazy that this board is as inexpensive as it is. Check it out at NLandKeys!

    Another great video! I love to see that more keebs are coming out with a numpad.

    Appreciate the review, the type feel sounds reminiscent of my Thera75 with that flex cut PCB, it’s unique! Also just received those Bsun BCPs from Inland Keys myself, the $5 shipping is great! Also just discovered that Milktooth offers free shipping on orders over $49 to the US, haven’t bought from them before, but I definitely think I’ll give them a shot next time I’m buying more switches

    I'll echo Maker's preference for the 2U numpad 0. I picked up the Monsgeek M2 back in April for work and the 1U numpad zero is not a good time. Didn't realize how much of a difference the 2U makes for numpad keying. 2U or bust from now on!

    Could you tape bottom that alpha flex cut with stiff tape (say, duct tape) to see if that stops the bottoming out?

  • @FlashBombGod

    The production PCBs will have the option of flexcuts or no flexcuts. Just figured I'd mention that.

    New to the hobby - interested in buying for work but when I'm configuring on the site, it's asks about PLATE TYPE. Idk what I should pick and would like some help. Can someone please explain the two options and which one is better long term?

  • @onlyonestevie

    The two options are about which type of stabilizer you want to use, one that that screws/clips into the PCB or one that is mounted on top of the plate. PCB mounted stabilizers are typically seen as better and more consistent but plate mounted stabs are usually cheaper. If you want stabilzers that don't require too much work go with PCB mount if you want to save some cash go with plate mount

    Seems to have a ​little more character than the monsgeek M2. I do wish it had per key RGB tho like the M2.

    Would you buy this over the M2, and, if so, what's its main selling point for you?
