This chicken sandwich is the worst hamburger I’ve ever tasted

I suspect it's because keyboards are so personal for people who type a lot; it's very easy to see a keyboard and think, "That looks great, except that...". For me, when I see a 60% keyboard, I think, "Okay, but I want my damn separate function keys, arrow keys, and at least dedicated page up/down buttons"; when I see a 70% keyboard, I think, "Yeah, like that."

Personally, I'm typing on a Matias Mini Tactile Pro right now, and I suspect my dream keyboard would just be one of these with a design that didn't feel stuck twenty years in the past. I alternate between this and a Vortex Race 3, I think it is, with Cherry MX clears.

My biggest complaint with the Altar I isn't the layout, it's that it has no switch options, and I don't want a linear switch; that alone makes it Not For Me. (I also don't particularly like the choice to make GIANT NUMBERS; the marketing copy talks about being "typographically balanced" and I think, "But is it?") But it looks like a nice keyboard, and kudos to the designer for pulling it off.

It's super funny reading this comment section having just recently started looking into custom mechs. My reaction on looking at the website was - whoa, a nice 70% keyboard, so nice to see a custom build that actually has function keys. Then getting to the comments being pretty shocked at how few people seem to actually be familiar with the concept of 70% keyboards.

I always kind of figured the mech scene was popular with tech enthusiasts but I guess it's still a niche regardless.

Anyways, this is a really nice looking keyboard. It's also really nice to see a custom mech made for macs, but I do agree with other comments that outlined how hard it is to actually take in the keyboard. There isn't just a normal full on picture of it.

I for one am not complaining, but responding with my thoughts, as requested.

The comment section is full of people complaining in general. Nice job OP, I think it looks great.

100% agreed. I'd buy this if the price is right. The size and aesthetics are right up my alley. I currently use a 60% keyboard and really like it.

Isn't it a 60%?
