Nope. Barebones special color.

It was a tempting buy with the Purple - but I finally just got my ACR Alice Pro on hand, although it needs some keycaps. Want to see what how the layout is before investing more in Alice boards

The purple def was the selling point. Specially for a board I was not sure if I’d hate or love

ah, didn't see that, now I have to convince myself I don't need another keyboard...

Wow so cool!
What switches and keycaps did you go with? =]

What’s your deskmat? Looks cool.

Those keycaps look incredible. I can’t tell if they are also slightly purple. What are they?
Watchclos OP t1_itz6abe wrote
I am using banana split for the alphas and h1 for the mods and F row. Keycaps Enjoypbt kuro/shiro

I just bought a Q8 a couple months ago! Damn, I would have waited if I knew they were releasing one with a fn row.

Doesn't this have a different layout than the q10?

How does it sound dude?
Watchclos OP t1_itzbe2y wrote
I am using the stock stabs which I will change in the future. I redid the stabs tho. It sound surprisingly good. I got the brass and pc plates and I am enjoying it. I’ll see if I can get ya a sound test today
Watchclos OP t1_itzbffq wrote
I was very indecisive on the q8. Glad I waited
Watchclos OP t1_itzbhe6 wrote
Enjoypbt kuro/shiro. I think it’s the lighting. Def not purple maybe a dark gray/charcoal

Really enjoying the PC plate on my Q5!

Have not put that one yet but I will

The problem is getting an Alice with F row for work. You only see them in Group Buys that ended, like the flex Virgo or foxlab sand glass. I'm willing to spend the high-end but don't have the time to check every GB post. I have a Q1 Knob and it checks every column for custom but build quality is shy of premium feel. Hopefully it stays in stock until next year when I can justify the spending

Nice, mine came in two days ago. Also in purple. I was debating on whether I should go with BoW keycaps like you as well. It looks very clean and the contrast is great.

Yes, I think it's smaller overall, but the general "Alice" style is something that I want to try first. It's sitting next to me with lubed switches and stabs, but no keycaps. Still wondering what to put on it

Very nice! I've been eyeing the Q10 as a work board for CAD work. Left side knob and macro keys for shortcuts.
Quite literally the only downside for me is that they don't do Stepped-Caps. I really wish they'd integrate it since most other good quality "Entry-level" hotswap boards have figured it out.
