The FancyTech Alice66 is a stacked acrylic gasket mount mechanical keyboard. I got here the black version which goes really well with my GMK Hammer Head Dark Clone keycaps I got for $30 or so. It uses poron gaskets.
It supports QMK / VIA, is hot-swap, Per key RGB, etc.

This is my first time using an alice layout keyboard and I say that it feels so much better to type on than regular keyboard layouts. Mainly because of the split spacebars, because I usually have a lot of problems with long spacebar stabilizer and long spacebars always sounding hollow and sharp. But with the split spacebar there is none of that problem.

The phone camera I used to record the video doesn't do it justice, the two-staged spring on the JWK T1 is super snappy and very nice to type on. And it has that signature chalky nylon housing noise you hear from things such as cherry switches.
Overall an amazing product, it was quite difficult to assemble it though, and I recommend you look up a guide CAREFULLY. The 2 short standoffs go in the middle that's all I'm saying.

I end up using this keyboard as my daily driver, the only thing I'd fix is that you should cut the PE foam sheet where the stabilizers are. Also this kit doesn't come with keycaps, switches, or stabilizers, you have to order them separately. This isn't really a beginner's keyboard, more like intermediate level. People who already know how to shop online, people who already have lube for switches, keycap pullers, switch opener, switch puller, etc.

Very nice mechanical keyboard, I'd score 8.5 / 10
