“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”

“I upgraded from the Q1 as I never really liked 75%. The weight, sound and feel of the Q3 are all amazing. Really good build quality. Money well spent.”
