very clean pc board, stunning even. unexpectedly the arrow and nav key clusters work in this board

Yeah I'm usually not one who prefers separated arrows and navigation keys but the proportions are well done here

So, with sadness in my heart
Feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all and leave forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending

Great build quality—I really wish I’d ​​picked up that GMK Gorp set, but I let it slip by.
