“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.”

“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…”
“Was displeased to find out afterwards inhad purchased that i had to pay an import fee. Wouldn’t have purchased had i known”
