    Close, but not quite

    Such a cool board, I really want to love it and make it my new coding daily driver, but there's problems.

    The split spacebars like to stick. Something about the low profile stabs is causing the space to hang up. I've tried smaller spacebars but still sticking. There's really only one way for everything to go together, so I'm pretty sure I've got it setup right.

    In the mean time I'm using 1.75u non-stabilized caps for the spacebars and they're "fine".
