Recently got myself a Keychron Q11, my first split keyboard, very happy with it (www.keychron.com)

Very noob review

  • built quality is solid
  • touches are easy to remap thanks to https://caniusevia.com/
  • the keycaps are very nice (and kind of made me realize how lower quality the one of the Anne Pro II were)

I was also lucky to got it half price (around 100€ total instead of 200€), so very happy!

I don't have the split, but I have the low profile Keychron 65% and agree it's the best one I've had yet.

    What are the case materials: what’s it made of?

    I don't have RSI, so the staggered layout is ok for now. I also use colemak rather than qwerty, so that also helps with excessive movements. The adjustable split is definitely better for my shoulders.

    I had the Kinesis Advantage 360 on my radar, but the price was quite high (literally 5 times higher than what I paid for the Q11 where I live), otherwise I would probably have given it a try.

    Very nice review. I am even more of a keyboard noob so I'll just add:

    • Contains keys
    • Keys are arranged on a board

    I also recently picked up a Q11, along with a Q0 Max separate numpad. The lack if an End button in the standard layout was a bit weird IMO but it was easy enough to remap, and overall I've been pretty happy with it.

    I've had a Keychron for a few years and loved it. Just recently the S key started misbehaving. My love for this keyboard grew immeasurably when I discovered you can just hot swap the switches without any special tools while waiting for some replacement switches to arrive. Plus the switches are super adorable at 30 for $10.
