Praise
“Overall good little keyboard for the price, other 40s cost more but better quality, also I could not find a few characters mapped on this one, not in manual or online.”
pstraghanVerified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“The keyboard is very solid ooverall, but frequently will type two letters instead of one on key press. This is a very frustrating issue and leads to many typos. Without this problem, it would easily be a 5-star keyboard.”

Praise
“The Q7 is unconventional, compact, and surprisingly usable once you give it a little time. It feels solid and intentional, not experimental. A great option if you like smaller layouts but still want something different. The layout is what stands out…”
Keeb H.· via Keychron
Critique
“Was displeased to find out afterwards inhad purchased that i had to pay an import fee. Wouldn’t have purchased had i known”
