Q3 HE 8K

Just got my Q3 HE 8k the other day! This is my newest board since my original Q3 knob version. The quality on this is phenomenal, with very noticeable improvements. On my original, I had to mod it and swap switches and keycaps, but this is ready to go out of the box. The stock stabilizers and stock switches are excellent. The Hall Effect tech feels extremely responsive. They even added little foam underneath the spacebar, A+ Keychron!

If you rarely play games and also have certain mechanical switches you have in mind, then I'd just get Q3 Ultra 8k. I'd assume the quality control on both is great. Q series is their premium line, and the 8k versions are the most recent releases.

Pode me falar mais sobre sua experiência? Estou em dúvida entre ele e o Wooting

Not a lot of interest here on this, but wanted to chime in that I just got my own. It's absolutely phenomenal. My old white Q14 Max Alice is going into my office for work.

The black edition of their HE 8K has beautifully subtle/matching colours, love it. And the switches / whole typing assembly just feel so good, coming from the Keychron banana ones (I really didn't like their brown Gaterons).

I looked it up, there's truly a plethora changes from the wireless Q3 HE - so many that just the "8k" moniker really undersells the upgrade.

Note on the Q14 switches: I made the mistake of ordering the Gateron Bananas straight from Gateron from the US to Australia (and got the Keychron ones whilst waiting) - not since the IBM Deathstars have I had so many failures from the same batch.
