I'm using box whites today on my 75%. They are a delightful light-tactile masquerading as a clicky. I need my box navies. Would be interesting to see how those compare with the iconic C64 homage keycaps.

Looks cool but also cheap and plastic-y.

Plastic-y is a feature for keyboards like this. Clicky switches need a hollow plastic case to sound nice.

I have an NCR80 (a light plastic Cherry G80 clone) and it sounds glorious with Kailh Box Jade switches.

Looks cool but I will never buy a keyboard for my main computer without a numpad or at least a matching external one.

Well the C64 didn't come with a numpad either, and the tenkeyless format is way more popular than full sized keyboards with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, at which this keyboard is aimed.

I went numpadless 12 years ago with a Filco TKL, never looked back. A full size keyboard just feels awkward to use now with all the deskspace it takes up.
