KBM68Pro KBM84Pro KBM100Pro Keyboard Kit/CIY Novice Keyboard Kit

I ordered the keyboard kit and the keyboard itself was fine, one key in the top left corner will not sit level with the rest. But I also ordered keycaps along with it from Keeb Monkey that never showed up, and when i asked about it I was met with near 0 help and I never got the money back.

I purchased the KBM100 Pro. It works great, and was a terrific introduction to the world of custom keyboards. I would definitely recommend it.

Now that the board is completely installed and working I'm very satisfied with it, the packaging was good.

However, the manual is not sufficient for a novice board. Being labelled as a product towards novices, I would've expected it to be better and more user friendly. I needed to do a lot of finnicking and asking around just to fix a really basic issue. Which I'm sure for someone who has built a few keyboards wouldnt be any problem. but a novice is someone who is new, therefore it should be a bigger help for someone who has never done this before.

If the manual is this basic for the purpose of reducing costs to keep it affordable, then I would recommend simply having a link/qr code that leads to more adequate information or perhaps a video example of someone installing it.

I already had the Tester68 (aka TES68, CIY's cheapest board at about 20$) when I ordered the KBM84Pro and it's truely a big improvement in so many areas:
* flippable feet
* backlighting
* wired connection
* can switch between Windows + Mac layout
...and most importantly:
* the stabilizers are WAY less rattly

The keyboard feels amazing and it's surprisingly heavy considering what it's made of and it even has lube. I would consider it a steal for such a price but it did have a few wrongs, one isn't that crucial but in the preview it is shown you get 2 AAA batteries but I only got 1 not that horrible because I can buy ones but is annoying and the other thing is that one of the plate mount stabs is stuck and isn't coming out and I will need to open it completely to try to fix it. overall a great keyboard if only minor problems that are fixable.
