Things that make us go... hmmm 🤔

Given the size of the bezels on the AEK (and Model M), that’s a proportionate distance for a gap. It might look odd if it were closer? Functionally though I get why it would mess you up. I didn’t think having a 1.5u backspace where the pipe normally goes would mess me up, but it REALLY did.

Went looking for these thanks to a recent LGR video. Neat.

Perhaps you could send an email to the customer service for assistance.

The glitter65 HE I bought was confirmed by the customer service that there would be no customs duties. Moreover, they kindly gave me an extra set of keycaps as a gift.

The Neo80 and Evo80 I ordered from them arrived sans any tariffs/duties, that I had to pay anyway.

If you’re concerned, Divinikey looks to be selling the Neo80 Cu starting in a few days.

As someone with a Neo80, that seems like a very interesting board.

The videos posted with MX Browns and similar switches imply a crisp, but somewhat flexy experience [if using flex-cut alum. plate or PP.]

The original Neo80 has a somewhat stiff typing experience - 1.6mm non-flex-cut PCB, perhaps adding a positioning film.

I wonder if the Neo80 cu would be better in that regard for tactiles. It has top-mount option, which is better, although the gasket mounting will give better sound. Neo80 cu is giving a lot for what it is, and I like the typing angle.

But it’s not an impulse purchase for most people.
