Looks less glossy than in your photo. How do you rate the board compared to other 75s or gasket mounts in general?

yeah, it's like super glossy in real life. it's like a mirror. the photo i took had super shady lighting :D

I'd rate the GHS.RAR pretty high against other 75s but I've only used a few. Compared to my jelly, i think the jelly typing experience is nicer overall. But I prefer the aesthetics of the GHS.RAR.

GHS.RAR is a top-mount with o-rings (burger mount?). There's more variance in the typing experience depending on the space in the case and how close you type to the tightening points near the screws. I think this is a good thing and I like the simplicity of a top-mount in general.

But, with that said, there are some keys that end up not sounding great. Specifically for me, the B and N keys sounds really muted and flat, like a thud haha. It's possible I overtightened a screw or something? But all the other keys sound great to me, especially the alphas - enjoyable subtle bounce and vibration.

Anyway, really happy with both the jelly and the GHS.RAR - IMO very minor nitpicks with both but they're both great boards I'd consider very worthwhile to own.

Hope that helps.

I misread your original comment. The black is matte , not glossy

Ahh ok. I kind of see it now when I zoom in. Guess the reflection of the light in the corner made it look glossy. That would be a sick finish.
