I almost always go for the aluminum board too, or sometimes the wooden one, but I like to try out different keycaps on my plastic V1 all the time. It's such a game for me.

Thank you! I love making new friends...let me know when you make your decision!

I’m a big fan, but Ive have some interference issues with my MT3 keycaps getting stuck on or scratching the board…namely the 5 and space bar. No issues with the F row though!

I understand, this isn’t for everyone.

interesting. I totally agree on the split spacebar. I have a 40% board with a split space that was rebound to shift as well. Same with my Alice boards.

speaking of 40% boards, I do have one from Akko that I did a video on last year. I love it and love taking with me on the road when I have all blank keycaps on it. People are always stunned.

I just bought 110 of those bitter teas...

@@KeebHoarder Good call. I already have V1 58gf and V2 63.5gf in keyboards, and I have both more V2 58gf and V2 63.5gf on the way from China. Definitely my new favorite tactical switch. Both V1 and V2 are great. I am putting them in all my boards now aside from one silent Q9 Plus which I use for video meetings. I do put light linears on layer activation keys though.

LOL

I feel like I might do better with that than I did with this Q15 because of my experience with the split Q11. But I really just want to turn my back on the ortho board in general...this is the second one I've purchased and I still don't like it.

Not the K15, but I have tried the K11 and I also have a Q10 review in the works...this is the bigger brother of the K15

Please subscribe if you want to be notified about the Q10 review! I'd love to have you on my team!

It’s both! They don’t advertise it as low profile but it is built like one BUT it uses regular switches.

I don't think I understand the question

It wasn't the best experience

I love your tunes!

It's actually Keychron's special OSA which I believe is an OEM with a Sculpted Angle thing going on.

I like the black ones better but you're right, these turned out really nice.

You know it

This is so awesome! Thank you so much for these questions and they will be factored into my review. Please let me know if I should keep an eye out for anything else...I hope to complete recording my review this week.

Yes indeed

This is a great question and not one that I can confidently answer. I've only purchased one full size keyboard since starting with this hobby and it didn't have the big ass enter. I am more focused on 75% - 40% boards at this station in life.

You are looking for an ISO layout. That is what the big enter is used on

OMG is this Dominique??!!!?!!

I'm definitely having a hard time adjusting to this, especially the bottom row because of me having to force my hands together like you said...and I"m going against 35 years of learning how to be an awesome typist on a standard layout.

You actually noted yourself that I waited until 8:11...so I didn't exactly do it immediately.

You should give them a try! I love all the keyboards I have of theirs with very few exceptions

I agree that this is not a perfect option yet.

How can anyone afford that?!!? I hope that works out for you in the near future, I love their V boards too.

Agreed! I'm gonna file a complaint about that and the 2u Enter. This is a good start, but I wish they consulted us first.

I removed those factory stabs last night and lubed up some smokey Durocks. The space bars sound amazing but I'll need to tinker with that dang 2u Enter a little more. Thanks for the comment!

@@KeebHoarder I hope you can fix it. If you can’t there’s always the holee mod but I prefer that one not done with bandaids. And if you can’t fix it. Put them aside and buy a set of TX ap screw in stabs those only need sum 205 G0 and no modding except checking the wires but I never had to balance TX stabs they are a bit more expensive but worth every penny my second favorite are durock but i usually only use durock for plate mounted stabs.. let me know how it goes ;-)

@@KeebHoarder btw I think I have the original keychron white stabs in both my keychron boards hahaha never had a need to change them just added sum superlube grease otherwise known as dielectric.grease and all the rattle went away one board needed more work 205 G0 and grease but I don’t think I washed them and bandaid modded them wires were straight. Considering I have a couple TX stabs I use on higher end boards I was lucky with these stabs

Do you even know what you're saying?!?! I love having a third volume control at my fingertips!!!

Yeah I don't use them much and I definitely don't need two. I'd rather have one more button

One knob is already one too many. Two? Yikes.

This is an interesting conversation we have going here. I'm fine without knobs but I really like having volume control at my fingers and it can be incredibly useful if you program it for use in a different application. I use the other knob when editing video to roll through my timeline. @kevinwells9751 - what would you want that "one more button" to be?

Yes. I'm having a difficult time with the bottom row keys especially but everything else is falling into place pretty well.

It took me a couple of days where I was making a lot of typos (especially on the bottom row) but after that I adjusted and it's been great! I already prefer it to the typical layout and I'm only getting faster with it

I've gotten much better this week...I started at 34 WPM and my best was 71 this morning.

It might be a keeper, just struggling thru the transition to ortholinear layout.

@@KeebHoarder Is there any upside to the ortholinear layout compared to the usual staggered layout once you get used to it? Except for looking cool...

I don't really see one. I've been watching a lot of @DygmaLab content on their split board and I can see how a split, staggered type of ortholinear board would be better than this one, but that's such a huge commitment. I've logged 58 minutes on typing tests alone so far this week and broke 100 once, but most of my results have been in the 40-60 range. I'm having a hard time adjusting and usually switch to a standard layout during work hours.

@@KeebHoarder Hmm, I am going to have to try an ortholinear one. I fully expect it to become a failed project though. Maybe something cheap from Aliexpress would be a better idea just to try. I just bought a cheap smaller wireless staggered 40% (Epomaker TH40) to see if I can go smaller than my Keychron Q9 Plus when I travel.

I love the Acrylic Top 40 I got from Akko last year, it really changed my perspective on small boards and I love using it still! But I usually take the Keychron K7 or NuPhy Air60 when I travel. They just get less questions and looks.

I have another complaint along with the space bars...the 2u Enter. None of my sets have a 2u Enter.

Also, sick profile pic. Division Bell is one of the best.

Yeah the knobs and space and enter keys are pissing me off. Just gonna buy from boardsource

I love this board so far but the space bar choice is inexplicable to me. It works fine but man does it look weird

I do have other boards with space bars like this; a few Alice boards and a 40% and most of my keycap sets have these but NONE OF THEM have an enter key that fits this board. Most other ortho boards are small 1u Enter keys. This frustrates me on this board.

Yes, it has great lighting effects.

Thank you!!

I've always wanted to get my hands on a Moonlander! This is a great board but I definitely don't use it as much as my other boards anymore.

Thanks for sharing, this is really special to hear and I'm really glad you like the work I've been putting in. It might be time for another video!

You can get one from Keychron for $69! (plus shipping). but you can usually find some one eBay at a good price too.

For sure! I don't think it's as effective as a more sculpted or tented split board would be. But if you're looking for something that is portable and a layout like this, you've come to the right place. If you want a different Keychron board that would be better with wrist pain, check out some of my Q11 videos. I love that board but I just put it away for the summer.

@@KeebHoarder Thank you for your kind reply. I've been using Filco for years, and my hands hurt since maybe 2 years ago. I'm searching for more affordable alternative to Kinesis product, because it's so expensive, plus I have to import it from United States, which means it will cost me more. I'll check your Q11 video. Thank you!🙏

Since I posted this video, I've started using the F row a lot more for media controls.

​@@KeebHoarderI personally have the q10 which I like too because of ergo plus f frow. I like the idea of q11, but I can't believe the plate is part of the case ..it's really unacceptable at this price point. So I am hoping they make a q11 max someday that fixes this one issue, then i am in for one

A Q11 Max, eh? That sounds like an awesome idea!

You are too kind, thank you!

It's tape. Search for mx master 3 grip tape on Amazon and you'll find a few different options.

You're right.

This is from Akko! Their website is akkogear but it looks like this is sold out currently. :(

You should be able to find them on the Akko website, akkogeardotcom.

Check on akkogeardotcom. Search for clear keycaps on their site and they now have the white v2.

This Q11 is pretty great but I do love a solid Alice layout too. Good choice on the V10, I think they V keyboards are the best value out there!

Thanks for all the deets! I love hearing about other people's builds. There are some incredible options on the horizon for budget boards this summer. I saw a Keybored and Hipyo Tech released reviews on this week that looks really insane. But for my money, I love what you can get with the V series of boards and still have money left over for extra caps and switches!

@@KeebHoarder Got V1 Max and installed my preferred Gateron G Pro 3.0 Yellow switches from my older K2 V2. Originally I ordered with Gateron Jupiter Banana switches which I didn't like, think I am more in to linear. Now I have ordered TTC Frozen Silent V2 switches, which should arrive in a weeks time, and am hoping it will make my keyboard much more silent and enjoyable, not just for typing but also for gaming. As per mods I did the following: 1. Removed the original foam from the board and instead used 4mm Practik Base for vibration/sound dampening (orange) and 5mm STP Biplast sound insulator (black). Both are used in automotive and sound industries. 2. Added Poron switch pads 0.5mm on top of PET sheet 3. Tape mod with 2 layers 4. Added Poron 0.5mm pads under stabs and the stems, and re-lubricated the stabs as well (was thinking of changing them to Durock V2, like I did on my K2 V2, but these stocks look good) 5. Added O-rings between the bottom and the top case where screws go in. 6. Changed to Cherry PBT Double-Shot Dark Blue/Black keycaps set (usually comed with Xinmeng A66 keyboards) I am liking the results very much. As per next upgrade, maybe in a year or two, it will definitely be based on magnetic switches, programmable, like press W for walk, press harder for running. Maybe by then there will be other features incorporated.
