I was also considering that keyboard a few weeks back! Congratulations it looks awesome!
I have recently ditched my Mac keyboard and got myself an iQunix f96 with Cherry Red Linear switches, and I'm liking it a lot!
It doesn't have the clicky feedback (because it's a linear switch), but the big advantage is that it's really silent compared to any other cherry switch, even the brown I believe. One other cool thing about it is that you can program it to match the HHKB layout and invert the caps lock and control keys to further reduce fatigue if you're working a lot with CTRL+something combinations 🙂
I absolutely love my Heaxgears Venture with linear keys, these are not Cherry or Romer g switches and I found the feedback very similar to Kailh Brown switches of my previous keyboard yet somehow much silent. So I can work during nights without disturbing sleeps.
I have even themed it to match the theme of Visual Studio 😎

2 AA batteries(1.2v), the ones came bundled with it used to last about 2 days. Recently I bought some Panasonic ones (Enloop pro) with 2400mAh capacity, it's been 3 days already and they still have juice left (don't know how much tho)

It's possible, by the way getting less than a week of battery life is quite disappointing, don't you think so?
I prefer the comfortability of built-in battery but having a week of power using 2x AA / AAA rechargeable batteries could be ok.
Not really, I keep 4 of them now, whenever they discharge I just need to replace with the already charged ones and put discharged ones back in the charger. Hardly a 1 minute of hassle that keeps the wires away, and with per key rgb I'm totally alright with it.
Oh and just a small update, those batteries are still going strong after the 4th day as well.

You're right, these are choc switches, but red, I don't know why I find the feedback similar to the full sized browns tho 🤓

Cool setup!
I think it's all just a matter of getting used to the new position. I don't use wrist rests, and I adjust the desk height to keep my wrists elevated. As a bonus you can type faster from that position because you're not stretching your fingers backwards a bit.

That is just wonderful 😍😍
Thanks man! 🙂 I wasn't bold enough to go with one of the crazier options though 😅

Pretty and clear one. The keys look less tall than regular mechanic keyboards, like it!😁
Yes, this is also low profile, and best part, it is wireless with replaceable batteries, there's never a wire on my desk for it!
How much it lasts with replaceable batteries and how many of them (and which type) they need?

If the feedback and feel of the key is similar to Kailh brown, maybe they are Kailh choc brown(just a guess).

Nice one! :)
I tried linear on the past but it makes me type with the fingers on a weird position being less natural, doesn't it happen to you?

I simply was too lazy to set up a nice pic to post 😆 😄
