DON'T HAVE FOMO - If you can't afford one currently, don't buy one! It's never worth putting yourself in debt or having too many keebs and it negatively affecting your life. Remember, this is a luxury hobby and not a necessity hobby (for the most part).

I've had a love of 60% o-ring boards for a very long time. From Bakenekos to Ciels to customNekos, anything that can be mounted with a gummy o-ring and is a 60% board I've either wanted or actually bought.

As someone who has never typed on a Singa Unikorn or bought one/won one from a raffle (I'd purchase it if I won a raffle for it, but not aftermarket pricing, and I am never going to buy a Kalamkorn), I've always wanted not only an internally weighted "Bakeneko" type board, but one that was fairly priced. I've never typed or owned a Moontower or anything either.

The Jixtes having substantial internal AND external weights of both brass and stainless steel variety, coupled with getting them for less than $300 shipped as long as you buy when there is a discount code? Being hefty, looking, AND sounding nice, with the ability to fit other 60% PCBs and use universal 60% plates? Hell. Yeah.

I can't ever compare them to a Unikorn until I have one or use one, but for a premium Bakeneko and a successor to the Ciel60, these are fantastic. My recommendation for anyone that wants a high-end 60% o-ring but doesn't want to pay Unikorn or Moontower pricing.

I'll edit this review with the YouTube videos of me reviewing both my Jixte in a full alu variant and a full PC variant, but for now, I'll leave you all with just sound tests!
