With good reason, IMHO.
I’ve done a decent number of group buys at this point, for a variety of styles and shapes and sizes of keyboard; the IMK has been my favorite product so far. The typing feel is fantastic, and they’re as solid as you would expect considering each half is milled out of a single piece of aluminum. Plus the IMK case solves a problem I had with the plate cases. I type a lot, and apparently I type too hard; it was enough to cause the PCB to start to separate from the switches, as you can see in this photo.
I have not run into this problem with the IMK cases. At all.
Round 2 is up! IMK Corne GB round 2
As far as “lo-pro setup” - do you mean swapping from a plate case into an IMK? As long as you’ve got hot-swap sockets in the plate case, it should be easy. (That’s how I did one of mine.) If you mean low-profile switches… apparently they work, “yes, but not great”.
