This keyboard is a dream to use, and my only true regret about it is that I didn't get one sooner. This keyboard looks, feels, and sounds unreal so I'll go over a few more of my favorite points in detail.
* The greywood switches are fantastic. The action is smooth and the actuation force is incredibly low. Having already come from an AP2 with linear red switches I bottomed them out assuming they'd feel the same, but I'm loving them being an even easier press than that. They sound fantastic when you bottom out on this board as well, it's hard to really appreciate from sample videos. They are indeed very easy to hotswap too as I've already accidentally popped them out while pulling keycaps - they're very easy to remove and set, and I look forward to trying other switch types in the future.
* The key lighting is bright and comes through well on the default switches. The vertical lightbar is a beautiful little addition with a few colorful presets and pops out in a great way.
* The software is very light and capable. It's very familiar-looking coming from using stuff like Obinskit for the Anne Pro 2, but it's a little rougher around the edges as you do modifications to your lighting and bindings on a low-resolution mockup of the board. It's hard to see what has been set when doing so, but it gets things done.
* The keycaps themselves are beautiful and feel solid but my only con is that they have no shine-through at all. In a dark room you'll be pressed to see your keys and having the board backlight on actually only makes that harder. For this, I transplanted my AP2 alphanumeric keys with shine-through letters onto the F99 and it works like a charm. I like the rest of the board so much and it can be rectified easily so I won't even knock a star for it, but be aware of this if you're used to your other boards having more visible letters. Not having that certainly came as a surprise to me.
After all, I heartily recommend the F99 for making it feel exciting again to have a keyboard hobby again!

It almost made me sad not to be at work right now, because I just want to hear that sweet, sweet keyboard tippy tappin’.
Here I sit with a keyboard, that was so much better than the old mechanical keyboard I had (cough cough Razer), the sound is better, the backlighting is superior, it has 3 different ways to connect? Oh, you don’t want to cosplay Sisyphus with that stupid USB tango you do whenever you try to plug in? You plug it in only to find you’re plugging it in the wrong way, only to find again that you were plugging it in right the first time. I will never waste my precious life on that futile struggle again. New keyboard has Bluetooth connectivity.
The color way is so pleasant too, it is a very soft pretty blue, with a very light purple and white. It is like soft candy floss, I’m into it.
Ok, I guess that’s all I am going to type for now, but know my heart longs for this keyboard whenever we are apart. I hope it doesn’t annoy people in my office, because my days spent doing menial tasks with this keyboard will be one of my greatest joys.

It is hard to find a compact keyboard (with 10-Key) at this price with these features. The 3 way connectivity provides options without being limited. Has lots of RGB settings if you’re into that. The keyboard feels heavy (good thing) and very premium even though it’s made of plastic. I like that the connectivity switch and usb dongle is located perfectly in the front of the keyboard compared to others that are on the backside (not ideal). This came with usb-c cord, extra switches and keycap/switch puller.
I switched out the keycaps to some white MOA profile ones. Overall I am pleased with this keyboard. The only thing that it is missing would be a volume knob.
