Praise

“Looks good, sounds good, preformed good but the software is a bit slow to recognise the keyboard and one of the clips on the back is a bit broken, it is hard to click and is loud”

“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.”
