   LOVE the industrial design. HATE the font, especially on the number keys. But, great job overall!

      The keyboard seems to be missing important symbols, such as - and =, so it's likely not the final design.

         Those characters are present. The design of the number row is just so 'out there' that you missed them.

         Because it's backlit I'm guessing changing the eclectic number row design isn't an option that can be easily changed (for this version anyway).

      I actually like the number font, the presence, but the loss of visibility for the shifted symbols is a huge loss. I know where the numbers are -- I admittedly need more reminding for the symbols as I never explicitly practiced them. The muscle memory for them isn't quite as strong and in low light I need to see them.

         > symbols need to be lit

         100% this.

         One of my absolute favorite keyboard designs: G915 TKL Lightspeed got relegated to the donation pile because the symbols were NOT backlit. Such a dumb design choice to save a few cents IMHO.
