It’s working. Can I give him food?

Having bought the Q12 myself and making it my main board I have the enter key in the right since that’s the only option. I can say it took about 30 seconds to get used to. Everyone seems to think it’s going to be a long process (myself included). It wasn’t

Did we just become best friends?

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

In that case I think you’re better off with non southpaw. The benefit of southpaw imo is that you can keep your right hand on the mouse while using your left hand for data entry

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

Lol you’re probably right. Something better always comes along. It’s my endgame for now

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

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

Thanks!

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.

Thanks I appreciate that. Unfortunately people on Reddit can be huge dickholes sometimes. Although this community is far less toxic than many others so I’m not sure what I was worried about

I know right! I was so excited for this board. I find myself looking for any excuse to use it.

Lol true. But I dare you to use your computer without one

It’s one of the options that sold with the GMK Arch keycaps

It’s gasket mount so there is some indentation when pushing hard but non if any when using the type of force you’d need just for typing

Nice! I’m glad you got one. It doesn’t disappoint

So you bought a Q12? I love it. I’ve been waiting a long time for a nice southpaw board. I was online the second it went on sale lol. I’ve been wanting one for a long time

Yea I love it! It’s called a “southpaw” keyboard. It makes so much sense this was since you don’t have to take your hand off the mouse to input numbers (if you’re right handed)

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?

Lol I didn’t share cause I didn’t want to get laughed out of the room. I went with Kailh Box brown V2. The pressure curve looked like something I’d like and I’m glad I took the chance
