“I like the feel and the sounds the keyboard has. However, one of the foot is missing, and there's no feature to disable the backlight from numlock.”
“Had it for maybe a month or two and it no longer works, the lighting is gone and it won’t even turn on now”

“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.”
