“I'm using it well. However, it would be nice if the right shift key was smaller so there was only one more key. Thank you for making a great keyboard.”

“The Q2 is waaaaay underrated. Tempest mod, lubed durock v2 stabs, tecsee PME or HPE housing long pole tactile switches and you have yourself a killer board.”
