“I wish that the "launcher" app had more layer options and more layer options for the RGB, but that's ok. I have a Moonlander as well and I recommend the Q11 to almost everyone, the ortholinear boards take a lot of relearning for most people to type on.”

“Perfect keyboard, sounds lovely, feels lovely, i just fee like the white keys are a lot more cream than pictured. Not an issue though! Just a little annoying haha”
