I could not disagree more. I bought one after the Kickstarter, and the hardware is very high quality.

Same here. If you think there may have been QC issues with your board, reach out to Jesse and Kaia and they will take care of you.

Matias keyswitches are fantastic, I've never heard of anyone calling them "non-standard" or "cheap". They are a recreation of the classic ALPS keyswitches used in early Apple and IBM keyboards.

Although I am overall happy with my Keyboardio, I must say the Matias keyswitches have been a bit of a disappointment. They're okay, but don't feel quite as nice, to me, as actual ALPS — I still have a working Kinesis Evolution that I use frequently, so I can compare them directly — or as Cherry switches. I wish they'd gone with Cherry.

Do you use the quiet ones, or the clicky ones?

I have one of each, but I generally prefer the quiet ones.
