Great Product

I love it

Great solid board

Pros:
- Great board
- Very easy to mod, tinker
- Heavy, well-built, great quality
- Great accessories in the box
- Default stabs are good enough and lubed pretty good.
- Arrived in good shape
Cons:
- Shipping is slow, it took about 10 days to arrive
- Default keycaps are lacking, even keychron's other keycaps are pretty great and they do make a significant difference in the feel and sound of the keyboard.
- The casing is a bit temperamental, if you tighten the screws too much it creates a hallow sound effect due to two heavy metals touching each other. You have to tighten them _just right_ to have a great sound. That being said I appreciate the default force-break mod, it makes a significant difference.

Good soild keyboard

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and love it, the ansi layout took some time to get use to coming from a iso uk layout but with VIA was able to program the £ back in. It also sounds amazing stock in my opinion I got the mint switches with mine which is a breath of minty air, pardon the pun. Coming from a clicky blue user 😁.

Those who want to game can game on this, though in my opinion you can on any keyboard. And it is also good for office use as it's not that loud either.

So if your in the market for a TKL go for it!

Delightful!

They keybs is a pure joy to type on - I never thought I'll like tactile keys so much. And the klickety klick from the Mints is a music to my ears. Thanks, Keychon!

Lovely solid keyboard - K Pro yellow switches very nice

Enjoying that there's no battery in this model to wear out.

Ten key less layout is perfect for transitioning from a regular key layout - no need to get used to weird positions for pgup/pgdown/home/end etc

Please note that the knob color may be slightly different from the case (the blue and grey only) as these parts are manufactured separately.

Refined Metal Art

The entire piece metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make a solid metal art on the desk that is the Q3.

All-Around Customizable Keyboard

To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want.

Keychron Q3 80% TKL Custom Mechanical Keyboard

Double-Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

Programmable Knob

Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.

Keychron Q3 80% TKL Custom Mechanical Keyboard

You can easily customize the Q3's knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.

Setting the macros for "zoom in/out"

Using the knob as "zoom in/out"

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Switch layouts between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron Q3 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Program Q3 with QMK & VIA

With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more. A brand new ultra-low-power Arm structure MCU which is powerful, and armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.

Keychron Q3 80% Custom Mechanical Keyboard QMK VIA

VIA is a keyboard keymap programming software. Using VIA, you can define every key and even write MACROS for the key combinations you want on your Q1. VIA supports macOS, Windows & Linux. 

Hot-swappable.

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights.

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Note: The Q3's top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps.
