Nice looking board!

What sort of switches did you end up going with?

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!

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!

How’s the flex in this? Looking to replace my current 1800 keyboard that has almost no flex.

Love the Q12. I just finished building mine a couple days ago (posted here).

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

I have vim key bindings for each app that offers it (e.g. vimium add on for browser) and on some Linux machines use a windows manager that lets me organise them w/o using the mouse, and so on. Every time I touch that damn thing I feel like I lost.

Since you seem quite familiar with vim do you by any chance know if it’s possible/how to set up a macro that would allow me to push a key which would then simulate pressing a key (let’s say the letter ‘a’) every 5 seconds until I push the key again.

So for the sake of the example let’s say I press F12 key.

This causes a macro to run where the keyboard outputs the letter ‘a’. Then waits 5 seconds. Presses ‘a’. And continues to this until I press F12 again.

Hey OP, do they already have wireless/bluetooth ready ver?

ImportedZombie254 OP t1_j9nvy7w wrote

Replying to berserk_er (#1,935,405)

Not yet unfortunately. At least not for this particular board. I heard they plan on going through their entire lineup and adding Bluetooth versions but since the non Bluetooth version of this board just came out it’ll probably be a while before it does. This is the Q12. When the Q12 Pro comes out that’ll be the Bluetooth one

If you like wireless and are ok with it not being a southpaw you might like the Ajazz AK966. It’s not as premium but still an excellent board. It has Bluetooth, 2.4ghz wireless dongle and wired. It’s what I was using before I got this one

have you tried using Garrys Hood Auto Typer and Clicker? It’s pretty good for very simple things like that. Not sure if i can post links, but google that. I’ve been using it for ages in games like Runescape. It’s been around a long time. There’s nothing too crazy it can do, but it will do exactly what you described.

Yeaaaa I actually want to use it on my work computer so it doesn’t go to sleep. They won’t let me install things on that computer and it’s locked down so I can’t adjust the sleep timer

I never really thought about it but being left handed must be a pain in the ass. Either you options are limited or you need to learn to use your right hand. Side note, I wonder what the scientific/biological reason why more people are right handed than left handed. You’d think it would be a 50/50 chance but it’s like 80/20

Yeah it’s funny that most of the things made are for right handers, I just adapted/got used to it except for the writing. Lol!

That my friend, I don’t have an idea. I’m just surprised whenever I encounter people like me :D
