I’m looking for a more ergo keyboard and am looking at the Keychron Q10 (Alice) or Q11 (split), but I’m leaning more towards to the Q11:

  • Extra rotary encoder in the top-right
  • Don’t need an extra “B” key
  • 2 extra keys to the right of the right spacebar
  • darksteppez@lemmy.world

    Haven’t used the Q10 but have the Q11 and love it. Takes a little getting used to if you haven’t used a split keyboard before but it’s not that bad. Couple things to note:

    -keycaps are hard to find compatible sets for, especially spacebars, if the rows aren’t all the same shape. You will need to do some remapping of the home/pg/fn keys but super easy with via. You can find keycaps with more shaped profiles but it will take a little work. I used the drop dasher set (MT3 profile) and it worked really well but I had to leave on the stock macro keys and spacebars. Still looks great. -you aren’t getting “thocc” with the sound. The plate and case are integrated and it isn’t gasket mounted so the sound isn’t going to be what you get with something like a Q3. Possible the Q10 will give you that if that’s your thing.

    All in all it’s a solid keyboard despite the customization stuff. Highly recommend.
