The first column is to set how many letters each ngram contains... bi, tri or tetragrams. Set this to whatever you want, as it makes sense to practice them all. The second column sets how many ngrams per run, and how many times they are repeated. The last column speaks for itself; It sets a minimum wpm limit- fall below it and you fail. Accuracy limit the same. If set to 100, then you will fail unless you type perfectly.

Still deciding between this or an ErgoDox or Moonlander. Great looking board though.

100% interested, but I need ISO/JIS (HHKB JP etc)

  1. I love the demo with Japanese labeling... is this something that will happen? This question is because I'm assuming the talk of ISO/JIS is only with regard to layout/shape of keys, not for japanese labels, is that correct?

  2. If the answer is that it's only layout and not labels: will you offer ISO/JIS specific keys extension kit? Or should I wait for a full kit to appear if I don't want to buy a full keyset twice?

I can speak to the layout somewhat vs a standard 75. I've been using a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic for about eight years. That's about as close to a split as I've ever had. Went to the K6 and noticed within about a day the inside of my wrists had sharp pains that go away quickly when I go back to the sculpt ergo. I anticipate a similar pain free experience with the Q11. That will be an important part that I'll mention in the review.

Why do they all insist on put the space bar so far to the right? Am I the only person whose thumb isn’t growing out of the bottom of their wrist?

Any wrist rests that you think would go well with this?

Is there a way to tilt it laterally in order to limit Ulnar deviation?

How did you get those knobs? Thought it came… uhhh… knobless?

Sorry if the questions are stupid. I’m new to this whole keyboard world.

The biggest potential issue I'm concerned about is the sound with the integrated plate and whether it's actually a better ergonomic experience than a standard 75% layout!

What kind of details do you want? After this week I may do a review. But I'm just starting on the mech keyboard interest. Meaning my own review would be about open box experience, putting in different switches and caps (silent alpacas and wob cherry pbt). Comparing sounds to the K6 I bought about a month ago.

I'd probably take it apart to see what's inside and make general observations that are not as informed (or biased) as others.
