      I’m planning to do the tape mod and force break mods, and add Sprit Slow Extreme spring swapped Gat Black Inks (v2). What are your plans with yours?

    Keychron q6 was recently annouced, which is just a regular full size. Honestly curious to see if they will do niche as heck layouts like 40% or even 27%

      They are planning a 40% but they delayed it after one of the employees tried the layout and hated it

    I know it's kinda pretty niche and likely a majority wont buy it but man if they can make a function row-less version of the q5 I'm gonna buy it asap.

      I dunno if you already know, but try searching for "mini 1800" keyboards and you'll find options of the variety you describe. No Q-series Keychron with that layout yet, but there *are* others if that's what you seek.

      @@DanH11 Yeah I bought an acrylic DIY board with the same layout as the q5 but with the function row chopped off it fits perfectly to my cramped desk setup xD. Cool thing is it's gasket mounted too. It will do for now I don't want to spend alot on a custom aluminum case "mini 1800" of the same layout that is why I'm hoping that keychron would make one. But then again it's pretty niche I can imagine only a handful including me would buy it. But they made the q8 and the q65 there might be a chance lol

    Force break mod is important don't forget it. Those pads don't work, but 4 layers of blue painters tape around screw area help tremendously. Did that on my q8....will do the same on q6.

      100% it will feel amazing coming from one of those. I used a Black Widow V2 for many years before getting my own custom keyboard and it made my old Razer feel like a cheap toy in comparison.

      @@marlon_labrador North facing used to be the norm, but now it's generally seen as a negative. This is because north facing switches collide negatively with Cherry profile keycaps. Wildcat has a good video demonstrating this.

    All they need to do is do a split QS that's the same as the dygma raise but with a nice gasket mounted machined case.

    It's only one (1) row wider than a TKL and 60/65 keyboards especially without F-keys are completely and utterly useless.

    Is the Q5 compatible with GMK keycaps?
    I saw the product page calls out their OSA PBT keycaps so I just wanted to double check.

    • @somelolplayer6199
      @somelolplayer6199 2 года назад

      I've heard some keyboards have compatibility issues with GMK keycaps so that also had me worried since there aren't many reviews for the Q5 yet.

    • @FenixTech10
      @FenixTech10 2 года назад +1

      GMK key caps have issues with keyboards where the LEDs face the top not the bottom. The reasoning is the switch being “upside down” causes interference with the middle row of keys so you’ll here the cap hit the case of the switch when you bottom out the key press.
      Also because it is a non standard layout, you may run into an issue when buying any type of key cap set that you may not receive keys that cover every key with appropriate size units and such. However most GMK sets come with enough extras in their base set that this layout should be fine.

    There's s MASSIVE FLAW of the keyboard. The Backlight is USELESSS. The characters don't lit because it's not transparent. Whoever thought of that DUMB idea? You won't see the characters in shaded or dark conditions.
    Funny no one talks about this.
