Layout
TKL Format (Rakk Hotkey is on)
75% Layout + Numpad (Rakk Hotkey is off)
Pressing Numlock when the Rakk hotkey is off will disable the numpad.
Modding
I use stickers to the plate instead of painting them. White plate gives more vibrant underglow color. Check videos below. Shuttle is my favorite light mode :)
Plate Mod (you need Autocad to plot the file)
Software
Rakk ILIS Advert (ICYMI)
Pros:
Cable routing. Replaceable Top Cover Case
Convertible case either Floating Design or not.
Compact keyboard that will not let you sacrifice the numpad.
Priced at Php 2,395 or USD 45 for the Gateron Yellow. Nearest keyboard to compare with ILIS is CM Masterkeys Pro M RGB which is priced at 160 USD.
Extra top cover will be available at Php 250 in case you need extra for modding.
This automatically dethrones Rantopad MXX. Can also oust Ducky and iKBC as long as switch brand is not an issue to the buyer.
Cons:
Numlock overrides Rakk Hotkey configuration and will activate the navigation keys on Numpad which is unnecessary. Solution to this is disable the NumLock on FineTuner. This will also disable INS key.
Software is a little bit buggy. Sometimes gives error message when creating custom lighting. Though software is not necessary to change light modes or saving macros.
Non-removable cable (disadvantage to some) but can easily be modded using breakout board.
