Keychron - Q3 HE QMK Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

keychron q3 but there are better tkls and the knob is in a weird spot better get 75% stuff like Lemokey P1 in silver [https://www.lemokey.com/products/lemokey-p1-qmk-via-custom-gaming-keyboard?variant=48200869413163](https://www.lemokey.com/products/lemokey-p1-qmk-via-custom-gaming-keyboard?variant=48200869413163)

understanding you a bit better, honestly wouldn’t touch the primarily gaming brands, i’ve had quite a few logitechs in my time and nothing compares to the keychron q1 i’ve had for like six months and i’ll never look at big brand “gaming keyboards” again. a Keychron Q3 Max specifically has the same % keyboard as your steelseries and it’s a large sum cheaper considering you can customise things like switch types. hope this helps

+1 Keychron is worth the price. I use Keychron Q3, much better than those overpriced "gaming" keyboards.

Yes, be sure to check the correct category.. they got "everything".. the v series is definately good, like others said. I got a q3.. I like cables. Had it for 3 years, I still use it as a daily driver.. got more expensive boards "on the wall".

I have keychron q3 HE. Stock out from the box seems good to me.

For gaming, really anything with an HE on the end. Q HE are high-end, K HE are less fancy, but still very nice imo. There's almost no reason to buy a non-HE Keychron keyboard for gaming. Cost is about the same, HE features are super useful in games, and the switches sound pretty good now.

The Q3 seems nice enough, but I've become super dependent on macros and customisation, so VIA/QMK or Launcher support is a must for me.

So you're looking for 75–100%. I can recommend something from the Keychron Q series. Plenty of really clean boards there, and they have keycaps with secondary legends for stuff like media control. A lot of them also have macro columns that can be assigned to various functions.

I tried both 515 and 915 logitech and they are terrible, they feel and sound very cheap, returned them immediately. Dont know about asus tho... I ended up getting a Keychron q3 max, check it out.

I’m in love with Keychron Q HE series. I’m using a Q1 HE while waiting for a Q3 HE from Taobao for 200 shipped. Q5 HE is the full sized option and was similarly priced.

Hi, I'm just looking for additional opinions on keyboards to check out. My prior keyboard was a WASD Code V3 (I think?) and I loved it until it broke, would have bought another if they were out of business. Over the last 6 months i've been struggling with a Keychron Q3 Max but the board had a huge QC issue and am getting a refund, not sure I want to roll the dice with them again. My priorities: I don't care about hotswapping, just want something to work well out of the box, prefer tactile switches similar to the Browns I've been using, and prefer a TKL/80% layout. Any advice?

I've been really happy with my Keychron Q3 HE. I believe it can do everything the Wooting can (someone correct me if I'm wrong) plus it's available in white.

I have the Q3 keyboard, it is EXTREMELY HEAVY. I mean, I can’t move it by one hand as it is basically a solid aluminum ingot. So yeah, I never move it and I am very satisfied with it!

K has a lot of really dodgy keyboards in it, safer to just avoid it. Q and V are basically the same boards, the Q has a bit higher end components and the aluminum case.

i own both keychrons and razers. Also logitech gpro x and g915 TKL. Matter of the fact: software in keychrons has no issues and build quality is objectively better, specially in Q series of keychrons. If you want to get a keyboard and want something reliable, ready to go, well built and easily programmable, just get a keychron. Wooting/Logitech/Steelseries/Corsair/GenericComercialOrGamerBrand is just like razer level, not best in class Razer gets closer altough not there yet to best in class features in the last blackwidow v4 75% (asus also does great with Azoth boards) but the board has really low reliabilty, so not best in class at all. check out r/MechanicalKeyboards for advice, they will guide you to get something real good and it can easily be cheaper or cost the same as razer boards.

The keychron Q series is in a league of its own. Basically entry to a fully custom keeb.

One of the keychron full metal ones, good luck folding that one in half little bro.

Wooting or Keychrons Hall effect keyboards are amazing, I thought it wouldn’t change that much but I really don’t like normal keyboards after it.

For wireless keyboard I'd look for those that have qmk/via such as the Keychron

Their new HE series seems promising for gaming.

I bought a Q3 Max with red switches and it was very silent. Be aware, Keychron HE keeb is compatible only with its own HE switches. For me it was a no-go.

I have a Wooting, I love it compared to the previous 3 SteelSeries keyboards I had/have. I do however think it's a little overpriced at the end of the day. I'd probably go with a Keycron HE today if I was shopping

If you're casually playing games then Keychron is all fine. So far the only "real gamer" keyboard to date to be considered is the recent HE variants due to its rapid trigger feature but that is more specifically targetted towards fps players that are willing to tinker each and every key press on how they want it to respond.

Most HE variants offers all keys to be modified if desired since the very switches themselves have the HE features, so some would only changed the main WASD and others would utitlized tinkering the whole keys - but again, this is mostly catered towards fps players that have the intent on tinkering.

The Keychron HE series are fantastic all-rounder keyboards. They are having a sale that ends today.

As you are saying, the reason why you need to replace your keyboard is because you are buying cheaper keyboards. It's probably worth spending 150£ on one that will last you 5 years and that you will change because you want to rather than because you need to! I'd check into keychron UK and look at their mechanical keyboards. They are great quality and if you get a hotswapable keyboard you will not only be able to change the keycaps but also the switches themselves.
