Praise
“Great keyboard but K2 is too small for my clumsy hands... not their fault. A larger one may have worked better for me. Otherwise I like everything about it.”
Greg H.Verified buyer· via Keychron

Keychron Q3

4.8

108 owner reviews

Praise
“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.”
Tobias W.Verified buyer· via Keychron
Critique
“I thought I had found exactly what I wanted and its great for what it is, but! This was advertised as an ANSI layout but what I received was an ISO layout board. The barebones board also states in the images that it comes with switch and keycap removal tools…”
