If you spend over 200 euros on a keyboard, you can expect a lot. In my eyes, Keychron's Q3 delivers across the board. This starts with the scope of delivery, which easily puts all keyboards that I have held in my hands in my pocket. From the very first second, you can tell that the Keychron Q3 really is a premium device...
Keychron Q3 Knob Version
US, CableProduct details
The Keychron Q3 is a premium full-metal keyboard where every switch, keycap, stabilizer, and even every plate can be individually customized. It is designed to create an exceptional typing experience through extensive personalization. The Keychron Q3 features a CNC-machined 6063 aluminum case that undergoes 24 processes, including polishing, anodizing, and sandblasting. The double sealing allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the sealing structure and enhances the overall sound while typing.
The keyboard has a switch for operating system selection and an additional set of custom keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. Thanks to full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap every key (including the knob) on the keyboard. With the open-source firmware VIA, you can define any key, keyboard layout, or backlighting. It is even possible to create macros for custom key combinations that you desire on your Keychron Q3. VIA supports macOS, Windows, and Linux.
The hot-swappable PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical MX switches. The Q3 is equipped with high-quality screw stabilizers that provide stability and smoothness. The screw design also allows compatibility with a wide range of other stabilizers. The south-facing RGB SMD LED lighting is easy to see as it faces the user. The Gateron G-Pro switches come factory-lubed and offer an excellent typing feel, complemented by the double-shot PBT keycaps.
