Q9

Hell yeah, well done! I definitely don't think Keychron boards are worth $200+, but as long as you're not paying that, then they have some very solid units. My wife loves her V5 that we got her last year. If we're sharing Keychron success stories, I recently nabbed a C$229 Keychron Q9 for C$80. I sw

Also got myself a Keychron as a gift to myself over the holidays. Really liking the Q9. A lot of Keychron's boards are quite simply overpriced, at their regular MSRP. But when they're on a deep sale I've found they're really solid. My wife has the V5—same layout as yours but in a plastic case—and sh

Sorry for the incoming wall of text; just trying to be thorough and hopefully illustrative/helpful. I won't say there was no learning curve, of course, but it was also a lot easier than I thought it would be. My first 40% was a Mercutio, which still generally has most of the typical typing cluster o

Ironically, Keychron is considered to be "basic" to a lot of people deep into the hobby. Not a great price-to-performance ratio (subjective, of course) and apparently they've had some QC issues in recent times that people feel aren't being addressed well enough. But in my experience (we have two in

I guess I've been using 40s for ten years so am used to them. they almost all have similar compromises but to me that's the joy of it. I think many people also use one of the space bars for enter too. the one exception you may like is the keychron q9 40 which is more like a 45, so bigger than most 4

That is a vibrant green case. My goodness. I love strong anodized colours. They always pop and catch the light like this. I got the Keychron Q9 in blue a week ago and it practically glows in the dark; it's great.

Bought myself the Q9 this season, especially since it was dropped down to $55. I would've preferred the "Plus" version with the split spacebar, but worst case I'll get my own PCB manufactured; $55 was enough of a deal it's practically worth it for the case alone. Swapped in some HMX Firecracker swit

So I'll give you a few words on each. Hyper40: Probably my favorite but likely hard to find. You get to have two numpads and I mapped the layers so the numbers and cursor keys can be switched on both the left and right individually.MiniVan: A total classic and what might be the first major hit in th

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

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
