Lol I didn’t share cause I didn’t want to get laughed out of the room. I went with Kailh Box brown V2. The pressure curve looked like something I’d like and I’m glad I took the chance

XD Hey, all good! If they work for you, they work for you!

Did you do any mods to the board at all? I'm trying to figure out if this board has a higher pitch, or lower one.f

I didn’t do any mods since it comes with foam in all the places you’d expect. The one thing I don’t like is the stabs it comes with. They are prelubed but they still rattle a bit. Sound wise it’s on the lower end pitch wise. It’s a very satisfying typing sound. I plan on switching the stabs in the near future. Got any recommendations?

Honestly, I've been out of the game for over a year now and just happened on the Q12 post here (I don't think I've ever bought a keyboard so quickly before, especially without even knowing about it).

Last time I was in the market for a board, Durock v2s were the go to stabs. Not sure anymore!

So you bought a Q12? I love it. I’ve been waiting a long time for a nice southpaw board. I was online the second it went on sale lol. I’ve been wanting one for a long time

I did! I grabbed a barebones black. Looking back on it now, I probably should have bought one with the keycaps and switches since the fully built out kit wasn't that much more. I have keys and switches lined up already, though. Super stoked as I was looking for a nice southpaw as well!

I have the Q5 for my work board, and I’ve used owlstabs with XHTBDZ for the wires. Work fantastic with minimal adjustments needed.

I have the Q1 V2 and I suggest you just tune and relube the stabs yourself. They are very comparable to durock V2s. Already pre clipped as well. I holee modded and lubed mine and they sound and feel fantastic

never be ashamed of the switches you use. everyone has different preferences, which is the whole reason of this hobby/interest!

Thanks I appreciate that. Unfortunately people on Reddit can be huge dickholes sometimes. Although this community is far less toxic than many others so I’m not sure what I was worried about
