KLC Nori Spring Rider Mechanical Keyboard Review

mmorpg.com:

The Nori Spring Rider is the definition of a team effort. It’s the culmination of influential custom keyboard designers, keycap artisans, and a major manufacturer coming together to deliver a pre-built mechanical keyboard that challenges value for the dollar.
