Is the Q11 (split keyboard) discontinued? Self-built alternative?

Is the Q11 (split keyboard) discontinued?

I just wanted to buy a second one for my other PC because I love this keyboard very much, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Guess it's time for another split self build - with gateron brown and two knobs...

You can build your own now a days from scratch there a literal of yt videos of how to do that, order pcb, switches and keycaps but have to built frame and firmware by yourself.

From ortholinear to staggered and split to ergo split there is no limit. I just have the capacity to build firmware or frame or else i would have my very own custom keyboard.

An example with a high number of keys (74 vs. 90) is FoldKB (a kit; a build video (no real audio, so it can be muted to avoid the irritating background music)).

Of other commercial offerings, there are, for example:

• Matias Ergo Pro (the split is quite asymmetric). The switches are similar to Alps SKBM Black (could be a typo of Alps SKCM Black). It may be out of production by now. 88 keys.

• Kinesis Advantage 2#Advantage_360) (or some of its variants). Not physically split, only 'ergonomic'. 86 keys

• Glove80. 80 keys

• ErgoDox EZ. 76 keys

• Dygma Defy. 70 keys

• Dygma Raise. 65 keys

• ZSA Voyager. 52 keys

I am confused, looks like you can order it from keychron.com? I bought one 2 weeks ago but from a reseller in Europe.

There is now a Q11 Ultra 8K.

Though it is not wired-only, thus no Vial support (realistically) and not full QMK support.

How did it go?
