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…”

3 owner reviews

Praise
“Ordered this board trying to get back into the hobby and was blown away by the quality and value. Why spend more on luxury boards when you can have this for less? Divinikey was a pleasure to work with; you've got a loyal customer!”
