“Had the keyboard since August. Dealt with the same issue as another reviewer of keys double registering but dealt with it. PCB died today. 3 stars because everything else was fantastic.”

“I really like this keyboard. I have a couple of Q1s, and I like this layout better. The key caps on the silver gray model look terrific.”
