In this Twitch Stream, I build the new TKD Cycle 8! Click Clack was kind enough to send me a sample in Rock colorway with a soldered PCB. Watch to hear my initial thoughts and opinions. (Disclaimer: audio is funky because I had both my AC and solder extractor running, so my noise cancelling was working extra hard!)
