Their spices are great! I really like the Arizona Dreamin one, great on eggs, makes for really good fry sauce seasoning. A lot of their spices are salt free too, so I can really control the amount of salt in my recipe
I did notice that they sometimes include political things on the bottle, usually without naming party names, so them being this direct seems a bit new. They always give you your spices with like 3 “I voted” stickers in the bag too.
I’ve owned many boards and have never heard of such issues. That sounds like a really cheap one, or inexperienced company.
I’ve never had issues with many switches between Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, etc
A lot of the better brands include LEDs too. It’s just another checkbox on the product comparison sheet. Not like you can’t shut em off anyway
