The O-Rings are attached to each keycap stem. They dampen the bottoming. You are right about the switch. The Keyboard case seems to be an important factor. A light plastic case almost rings when the switch bottoms.

Yeah, the arrow keys don’t really need to be “exploded” on this board. They’re already right there in the corner and east to locate by touch without needing to offset them like that. And if they were flush then you wouldn’t need the dead space… no perfect board tho.

I hate how the keychron boards have that dead space next to the up arrow, otherwise I'm a fan of this layout

I'd say it's really stable when you tighten down the tripod screw mount. It does get loose after a while, especially if you take it on the go (I move it back and forth between home and the office), so you have to re-tighten it.

The tenting looks good and it does not raise the whole board like The Platform does. That's the main downside for me using the ZSA tenting kit. Though, it looks less stable with the small tripods and I like the added weight of The Platform.

I like the look of these keycaps on the white board!

Reply to Keebio Iris rev7 build! Now to relearn how to type... by Wemmsie

How are you adjusting to the columnar key arrangement? For me it felt very close to traditional row staggered arrangement and it was easy to get used to. It is also easy to go back what I have to do using a notebook with the internal keyboard for instance. I had a much harder time to adjust to ortholinear key arrangement.

Yeah it is steel. Most of the Q series have different plate materials available but not the 12 as yet. However the CAD file is on their website. I’m looking into getting a pc plate cut from the file at a local place but need to work out some details around where there should be holes drilled and so forth. https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-q12-keyboard-plate-file

What type of plate does it have? A steel one? And is there an option to replace it with a polycarbonate plate or brass perhaps?
