Here's very first impressions (after about two hours of use) and how it compares to my older non-RGB Cherry G80-3000 S TKL.
At first touch Kailh brownies feel "cheaper" than brown MX Cherry switches. But when I switched back to Cherry, it felt a bit hard and unwelcoming compared to this Penclic.
It's quieter (I purchased it for used in the open-space office and this feature was advertised). Small keys clack sound is quite muffled but larger keycaps rattle when released.
It's backlit (compared to Cherry) - not important to me.
Media player controls through Fn.
Weird font and Win key symbol - Penclic logo instead.

The "B" legend for the "PB" key look super weird imo.
Also, what is the key between the ESC key and the F1 key on the Cherry board?

Indeed. Looks more like a symbol similar to B letter. Or a major print problem.
That's 'Cherry' key. It can play macros set up using a Windows utility. I don't use it (Linux user) but I don't mind it either.
