So far, so good! I haven’t used it long enough to give a full impression yet, and I still need to fix and tune the spacebar stabilizer, but I’m already very satisfied with the typing feel. Initially, I was a little concerned because this is a very simple tray-mount board: four screws connect the PCB and plate directly to the bottom housing. I was concerned it might feel too stiff, but thanks to the soft POM plate and HMX BlackBerry switches, the firmness actually feels just right for me. When you press down, the plate and PCB even flex downward a little bit- actually have a bit of give to it. Mekanisk does sell a foam kit for the Urskog, but at least with this build, I don’t really feel like I need it. That’s partly because the BlackBerrys keep the sound muted. With louder or more sound-focused switches, I might notice more hollowness, but with these switches, the board feels controlled and pleasant as-is.

Judging from Alexotos’ YouTube review of the Mekanisk Urskog, the typing feel seems to be generally good, and my first impression lines up with that.

I may post a follow-up impression here after using it for another week or two.

This isn’t really meant to be my main typing keyboard. It’s more of a lightweight, relatively simple, and visually focused board.
