Wow I really liked those rounded key caps, looks much better than the usual square or circle.
Too bad it feels mushy :(
Does anyone know another keyboard with such design?

It's not that bad, just the stock space bar is the biggest issue there. Use the replacement one and it does get better. As for similar designs, I compared it to the Epomaker B21 in the review but I think the AZIO IZO is better than that. If you are only interested in similar keycaps, look at SA profile keycaps which are rounded but way taller though. Akko's ASA profile is not bad though!

Thanks for the info. Have you tried the razer's orange switch? I have a keyboard with them and I am wondering if it's worth getting this IZO.

No experience with the Razer Orange, unfortunately.

Overall, I like its aesthetics, but I can't use mini KB's due to my large hands & fingers, so if they make a full sized version, I might buy one :)

I think the standalone numpad already been made makes it less likely there will be a full-size version of this.
