Funny story about this keyboard is that I never originally intended to get this keyboard. About month ago I was building a 60%, and for some reason thought that the Tiger Lite case was a 60% case. When it arrived and I realiezed that it was actually a TKL case, I decided to just save the case for a build later on.
As far as the keyboard itself, I am extremely happy with it! For the price, I believe the Tiger Lite provides amazing value. Although, I should note that I say for the price, even though the switches and the keycaps I chose are more expensive than other options I could have gone with, but they still are no NK Creams or GMKs. The switches and stabs feel and sound very amazing, and the switches have virtually no noticeable scratchiness.
One part of the Tiger Lite that stood out to me is how much flex it has. I am not used to using keyboards with flex, so I have nothing to compare it to. It does seem like the keyboard only really starts to flex when a decent amount of pressure is applied and when typing normally and even when bottoming out hard it doesn't feel like the keyboard is flexing.
The ABS case feels decently nice. But it is not most rigid case in the world, but it seems like that is simply because it is made out of plastic. I think I would have preferred the aluminum case over the ABS case, but I didn't really want to spend that much (although I keep feeling like I definitely should go with the aluminum version).
The only complaint I have is the keyboard is quite light. Going with the PC plate and ABS case probably had a big part in the weight, but even my Ducky One 2 Pro Mini feelsn heavier than this keyboard.

Yes it did affect the sound, I was curious as the force break was popularized after the release of the Tokyo60. It removes some of the metallic resonance and clears up the sound of the board, I highly recommend it but its up to you.

it's so annoying keychron doesn't offer a lot in 2.4ghz right?
Bluetooth is really dog shit when it comes to batterylife, 2.4ghz lasts me weeks/months on a single charge with my rk.

Reply to comment by Board__King in Novelkeys mystery switches. Gateron milky green?? by Lei_Fuzzion
The housing has the same look / feel as the milky yellows, the plastic isn’t clear so I just assume they’re milky housing greens. I really don’t know loads so could be wrong.

I do the same thing! I pour small amounts of silicone into each injection mold crevice. Maybe I will try concrete next time or something if I am feeling really wild
