This board was easy to recommend to beginners. But at the same time, the Keychrone Q2 won over many users because it was very good out of the box. These days when hot-swapping is the standard, you can easily try different switches instead of just choosing the mediocre horror that is cherry brown. The beauty of custom mechanical keyboards is that you can customize them to your liking. I had a fresh set Linear Switches Akko CS Jelly Blackwhich are pretty much my choice for budget lines these days (or Gateron Yellows, which Keychron unfortunately doesn’t offer as an option on its Q series). These are normal switches, just not my style. My test unit had Gateron Brown tactile switches, which I don’t like. I got the blue version and really liked the look. Keychron offers three color options for the Q3: black, silver gray, and navy blue, all of which come with matching keycaps if you opt for the fully assembled version. Turning the handle is also quite pleasant. Dual PBT keycaps aren’t the best (and OSA Profile takes a bit of getting used to) but they are quite usable and while some reviewers have reported issues with legends not printing very well, this was not an issue on the device I received. For an extra $20, I think it’s not hard to get a built version, given that the keycaps and switches will cost you significantly more, and even if you want to replace them, you can always reuse them in another project (because anyone has there is only one keyboard, right?).
