Keychron Q16 HE
7 owner reviews
“This keyboard types like a dream. The only reason I'm giving it 4 Stars is due to the fact that it is ceramic coated and not true ceramic.”
“Firmware isn't open source, none of the HE 8Ks are it seems due to a unsupported MCU, only disclaimer of this is a lack of a disclaimer of QMK or ZMK, entire point of this brand is open source firmware HID devices so you wouldn't check this.”
