Keychron Q3 QMK Custom Wired Mechanical Keyboard (Fully Assembled)

Please note that the knob color may be slightly different from the case (the blue and grey only) as these parts are manufactured separately. The Q3 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard to push your typing experience to the top. With the classic tenkeyless layout, full aluminum CNC machined body, double-gasket design, and QMK/VIA support, the Q3 is designed for premium typing comfort and endless possibility. 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. Double-Gasket Design Double Gasket Design is an industry innovative structure. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases. It significantly reduces the resonance between the metals, which in return, reduces the noise of the impacted metals. This Double-Gasket Structure allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and make the overall typing sound better.  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. 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 the compatibility for Windows devices, the Q1 is one of the only few in the market that comes with a Mac multimedia key layout for Mac enthusiasts. With VIA, you can configure your keymap for both Mac and Windows devices. Program The Q1 with QMK & VIA. With the Q1 ‘s open-source QMK/VIA, you can intuitively remap your favorite keys and create macros with any key (including the knob) on any operating system (macOS, Windows, or Linux) for a fluid workflow. 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 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 user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard. Note: The Q3’s top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps. Pre-lubed Gateron G Pro Switch The Optimized molded switch with more precise positioning and less wobble will undoubtedly improve the feel at your fingertips. With the fully assembled Q3 version fitted with factory pre-lubricated Gateron G Pro switches, a smoother travel experience is guaranteed for you. Keychron Q3 Special Editions Except for the Gateron G Pro switch, we are thrilled to introduce more amazing switches to the Keychron Q3 Special Edition Keyboards. The new Keychron K pro switches, the Gateron Baby Kangaroo Tactile switch, the Kailh Box Cream switch, the Kailh Crystal Burgundy switch, the Kailh Midnight Pro Silent switch, and the Kailh Clione Limacina Clear switch provide an extraordinary and silky smooth typing experience with linear and tactile bumps. Special Edition with Transparent Keycap and Switch Outfitted the Keychron Q3 with industrial-style OSA profile transparent keycaps to provide a perfect backlight effect and engineered with Kailh Clione Limacina switches to offer a better typing feel,  making the Q3 look as good and unique in the office as it does in the game room.  All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q3 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock. Sound Test What's in the box?
