I recently decided to upgrade my keyboard and landed on the Keychron Q11 QMK with the Gateron G Pro Brown switches and so far I’m really liking it!

I knew I wanted to stay with a split keyboard for ergonomics.

What I like:

  • Configuration is web-based with the Via app.
  • The led effect is nice but not too overwhelming. I prefer the effects that react to typing so it’s not lit up unless actively typing.
  • The nobs feel nice for volume control. I haven’t found a great use the second knob though.
  • I like the open key design which makes cleaning it a lot easier.

What could be better:

  • The space buttons are bit smaller that my last keyboard and so I find I tend to press near the edge so I’m having to adjust a bit
  • A dedicated “end” button would be nice
