Nice! Just converted alice layout after 4 years of splits (with the last two years with a dactyl).

Love the ergo of dactyl/split but wanted something more “premium” after years of DIY and no options for a one ton steel case dactyl off the shelf sadly!

Loving the Q10 if only Keychron makes a Q series dactyl!

This is subjective but the ONLY bad part about this keyboard is that it’s not gasket mounted, so it felt stiff out the box. I modded it to give it more flex and that seemed to do the trick for me.

I got it primarily for the bluetooth functionality (which is great) but given keychron is coming out with a wireless (q1 pro) I’d go with that had I waited.

Edit - stabs that came with it weren’t bad but highly recommend your own (owl or durrock v2s)

I was wondering if this is a localization issue. People who have swapped commas and decimals have screwed up prices all the time. I think in one instance it broke the calculator on a pokemon game.

weeks ago i thought the same!, i almost screw those parts in the wrong direction, then dealing with the hardest part assembling the pcb with aluminum plate after some particular mods i did, you deal with like 12 screws in the same layer.

after finishing i had to unscrew again because i forgot the pcb tape mod lmao!.

Anyone game with this layout? How would a Q0 line up next to one of these? I used to use Microsoft Natural boards years ago and do miss some hand position angle but not sure I want to go full ergomech. Also like having numpad for work so the 1800 layout works well for me..
