- The Keychron Q11 keyboard is a rugged split keyboard that you can customise with VIA. It has some ergonomic properties and it certainly has a nice build quality but it also has some properties that you should consider before buying.

Have you tried the ZSA Voyager? Your videos are very insightful. Thank you!
Yep! That will also totally make an appearance here.
Webpage says that keyboard supports qmk firmware. It is more powerful than VIA. Way more features. In the qmk keyboards I have, the timing thing is just a variable called TAPPING_TERM. Set it to the value you are comfortable. qmk is not as user-friendly as via, though.
Yeah, thats possible. But keychron barely provides any documentation on how to set up QMK properly so I would not want to give them a lot of bonus points for that feature.
You’re not the first to suggest the tool, but does that tool allow you to set the timing? Vial was not used in the marketing of the board, VIA was. Got a guide/link?
Hey, thanks to god that i found this video. Me is like from apple keyboard(>10yrs) to q11 to nuphy and now seeking another one.
I can feel you 1000000%! Q11 and nuphy are good, but just not perfect fit to my habit. I tried for about 2 months and finally failed to get use to it...
Now i wondering if low profile version of corne or sofie would work. And happy to listen to your comment.
Thx bro
Its hard to say I am afraid. I guess I've never tried corne or sofle because I always wanted to be able to get proper company support. But the stuff I see on Reddit do make it very tempting to check out.
Be sure to check ebay for deals. A voyager may be appropriate for you and that board also comes with amazing software.
Hi ! would you recommend a split keyboard for office use? I wanted to have more comfort when touch-typing. Cheers!
Yes, but you may want to consider one with a good carrying case. This particular keyboard is very bulky and something like the NocFree/UHKv2/Dygma Raise might fit your needs better. These keyboards are all split but still most similar to a conventional keyboard.
My NocFree review should be up tomorrow I think by the way.
Would a standard sized A5 notepad fit in between the two keyboard halves?
Probably? May need to buy a bigger cable if not. Specs should be on their site.
so glad I found this review. Definetly not buying the Q11 now. Ill wait until they create a low-profile split.
Their K11 board (see the next video) might be a fair deal in the meantime. It is not split, but it does give your thumbs 4 buttons in total, which is plenty for most coders.
@@calmcode-io I unded up ordering a UHK doing the unboxing on my twitch stream today. @jujocoCS
@@JujocoCS Ah that board is also totally solid. I also own one.
@@vincentd.warmerdam1422 awesome! so glad to hear
Staggered split is defective by design, sadly. Staggered layout requires fingers to constantly move sideways, and this sideways movement depends on correct sideways position of both halves. When you have a split keyboard, the position of two parts constantly changes and so you can't reliably have the same position of keys. Also, if you place the halves straight in front of your shoulders, your pinkies won't be able to reach the keys as easily
If you want real a split and not just rotated/ergo board, there's no point in not going ortho as well, preferably with keywells if your pinkies aren't too long
And because your hands can only reach their own parts, you need more thumb buttons to compensate for inability to do one hand operation of the entire keyboard, otherwise you lose functionality when it comes to productively using keyboard and mouse at the same time
And the numpad layer on a staggered layout is just disgusting. While again, you can't do a one handed number entry like you could with the normal keyboard
Use vial instead of via

@@calmcode-ioyou can install vial on (almost) any via board
