"First" new keyboard after 2 years of taking a break, somehow I got pulled back in!

I've been using splits and the last 2 years I have been using a Dactyl (Corne Layout) and recently been wanting something less DIY and something more "premium" feel with full aluminium case and a heavy case! Sadly not possible to get such thing in a Dactyl Manuform, so decided to look at other options, settled on a Alice/Arisu layout and the Q10 just happen to caught my eye.

Surprisingly the "downgrade" in ergonomics from a split to a Alice hasn't been too bad! Took me about a day re-adjusting myself to a non-columnar keyboard. I am loving the feel of a non-diy keyboard though much better feel and experience when typing on a non-3d printed case which has been my life for the last 4 years.

Pretty stock standard - got Yong Qui WOB and Durock T1s on it, feels pretty good for me already. Trying to not go back too deep into this rabbit hole again, just going to stay at the peripheral...

Nice! Just converted alice layout after 4 years of splits (with the last two years with a dactyl).

Love the ergo of dactyl/split but wanted something more “premium” after years of DIY and no options for a one ton steel case dactyl off the shelf sadly!

Loving the Q10 if only Keychron makes a Q series dactyl!
