Great! Has texture and interesting pattern in the light. Fit together perfectly, looks great, and has a nice texture.

Great print job and great design! Has a nice texture to the top, with the design having cirque mounted level with my switches which looks great. I maybe would like to see an indent right above the cirque to catch my finger so I can get to scrolling easier, as currently I just throw my finger to the top of the mount and bring it down until I hit the edge of the cirque. But as I just built it I'll grow muscle memory on where it is so it is really a non-issue.

Amazing board! Wanted a small board for traveling and finally landed on this one. The cirque board works instantly when plugged in, no fiddling required, with it able to do mouse 1 and scroll. Also with the dedicated MCU and already soldered diodes it meant less things I had to solder. Now I just have to play around with it to get my desired key map, but with it being preflashed with VIAL it makes it easier than ever. Can't recommend this board enough.

Well designed, easy to assemble kit. Slapped some lowprokb nocturnals and it makes for a great board to take to lectures or office with the Cirque built in (I even find myself reaching for it on other keyboards, and the spin is so much fun). Overall very pleased with this board and would recommend :)

Not much to say other that everything arrived nicely packed, and the kit is really easy to make !
10/10, would buy again !

The Bad Wings is a nearly perfect keyboard. Thoughtfully designed from it's splay to the traces on the PCB. The V2 is a refinement of an already amazing product, and speaks to the dedication that goes into creating such a refined keyboard.

If you scroll far enough to read this review and the Bad Wings is in stock, add it to your cart and check out already, you will be glad you did!

It's good, get it, nerd :D

I can't say enough good about this keyboard, and the kit. It's everything you need, and nothing you don't.

This was my first foray into < 40%. It took a few days to get a keymap i was happy with, but now i cant go back to a larger board.

The PCB is top notch and the included header sockets and pins are a very nice touch.

The cirque track pad actually works quite well too!

I purchased the Bad Wings specifically to figure out a good 36 key layout that would work with other similar split boards. I also thought it would be easier to travel and use a one piece on a plane. I have found the ease of working with the 2040 compatible Xiao seed MCU a joy, flashing easily and quickly as I make dozens of adjustments during a session.

The board itself has a smooth appealing case, and the touchpad works well. My only complaint is the lack of buttons to reset and put it into bootloader mode. I dealt with that by creating a key on a higher layer that would put the board into bootloader. I love that I can flash it be dragging over the uf file like I would with a USB drive.

It is the perfect experimental hobby board that I may put into permanent use.

This was my first ergo keyboard and it was very easy to build with and the end product is extremely comfortable.
The screen is a bit of a novelty but given the price, its worth it for just the looks.

The board is absolutly gorgeous. The width, depth and hight is as small as it could get. It feels robust.

Assembly has been simpler than similar builds, but as I am new to soldering, I have needed assistance. Thankfully Hazel has provided excellent assistance along the way with any and all question that I have had.

I'd always done DIY keyboard building, but the price on the Bad Wings was competitive. I wanted to try the 36 key style with layers, and the touchpad was the real bonus. As far as keyboards I've bought in the mech world it's really really good and solid. I initially put blues on but then upgraded to Sunset Tactile Choc Switches which made it perfect.

Amazing keyboard with everything you need and nothing you don't! Very fast shipping and great packaging!
