Nice NorbaTouch board! I can speak to their very high quality as I own three of them myself. BTW, where did you get that acrylic dust cover? Do they make them for full size keyboards too? 60% and 80% https://kprepublic.aliexpress.com/store/group/Keyboard-Cover/3034003_512180183.html?spm=2114.120106...
