PSA: don't routinely update your keyboard firmware.
I updated the firmware on my Q9 (ISO Knob wired only) board - it is no longer recognized by Keychron Launcher. It only works with VIA web app now. Older firmware is not available to download. Sigh. On the other hand, updating firmware on my two Q6 and one Q3 boards (all ISO Knob wired only) worked w

Green card thing under pcb?
What is "q9 plus"? Just Q9? OK, here is the Q9 Plus user manual. But where is the product page? At least it also seems to be wired-only like the original Q9.

idk if I am stupid but what is the default way to type a hyphen on the Q9?
A workaround: DIY key mapping Where do you expect it to be? For a Swiss keyboard (and many other European keyboard layouts), the key for hyphen is three keys to the right of "M" , and the keycode is "KC_SLSH" (because the keycodes are named after the effect if the keyboard layout in the operating sy

Keyboard recommendations
Meh, every keyboard has its issues. I like to get a long warranty for any keyboards that feel pricey or risky so I know I'm covered. Amazon and eBay both offer them and they're affordable. I havent had any issues with the Q or V keyboards from keychron. I have a Q1, Q9, and V7 (which is my favorite

My weird little keyboard collection
I say that because the q9 seemed like an answer looking for a question. Dropping the number row and going into 40 world normally means you are going for a compact tight motion profile with as little hand motion and finger spread as possible. The q9 however keeps pretty much a standard 60ish width an

My weird little keyboard collection
I really like the depth gain the Q9 provides on my desk compared to a 60-65% keeb, or when I have the Q9 on top of the trackpad on laptops. The width is a good fit for having on top of a small Macbook Air, so the width is OK with me for home use, and I really like the quite unusual candybar like for

It's not much but the concept has gotten me through one year and half of uni
Epomaker makes 40% keyboard for cheap and I've seen them do 50% sales just randomly on some of their keyboards, but if you want a better product you can look into keychron q9, looks sexy as hell

Help with first Keyboard - Keychron Q6 Max
Keychron used to be pretty good (I have two wired only q6s, a q9 and a k10 pro with zero issues) but new models (Max mainly) are just so unreliable... that's why everyone says if you get a Keychron, get it from Amazon or local shops. Otherwise the suck is horrible if you have problems. Perhaps the n

Post your keyboard "unpopular opinions" here.
I consider the Keychron Q9 Plus to have the best staggered keyboard layout so far.
