- 2 switches in the top left (usually keys `ESC`, `1`) need to be reversed to work.

Things I don't like, also [honest review from Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/HHKB/comments/xmcbkq/comment/j1625fy):
- The sides don't have any gaskets, so the keys on the far left and right bend down more. They will pop out of the hotswap PCB or the plate if pressing too hard.
