An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

OSA Profile ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps

To further leverage your typing experience, the Q11 ISO version comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical angle) and ABS backlight shine-through keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.

Switch layouts between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron Q11 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Get the Q11 ISO keymap working on VIA

Since the VIA code for the Q11 ISO is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized. Please download the appropriate keymap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on "Show Design tab" on "Settings" tab, and drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the Q11 ISO keymap working on VIA.

Hot-swappable.

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Pre-lubed Keychron K Pro Switch

By optimizing the switch mold, the Keychron K Pro switch wobbles less than the standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed K Pro switches will ensure the best fingertip smoothness. Not to mention the banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.

Gateron G Pro Switch Features
All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers

All New Screw-in PCB Stabilizers

The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q11 also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.

ANSI & ISO layouts.

ISO layout is widely used in Europe while the ANSI layout is widely used by the rest of the world.

Note: If you live in Europe, we recommend you to purchase the "Barebone ISO” version with the corresponding ISO keycaps. The "Barebone ISO” is suitable for all ISO keyboard countries like the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, etc.

Comprehensive Review. Pros, Cons, and Considerations

Overall, an incredible keyboard, superb metal build, quite "thock" out of the box. What one can expect for the price.

(Pros) It stands out for:

1. Incredible Keycaps (in Azerty/Iso, it's rare), superb unique OEM profile.
2. Split design, obviously. But without a convoluted key layout.
3. For RGB light fans, there are really many cool things!
4. Two knobs! Of course, there's the Skyloong GK75 and other Keychrons as well with more than one knob. But in ISO, 75%, of quality, it's rare. In split, it's very rare. And for me, it's very useful. Especially since it's highly customizable (via/QMK), you can switch profiles by clicking the knob, for example. (+ Tap dance... etc.)

(Cons) But...

1. Incredible Keycaps but not in PBT UNLIKE the other version of this keyboard.. no in ISO, we have ABS...
2. As the OEM profile is unique, other OEM Keycaps don't match perfectly.
3. VIA is not necessarily an advantage. VIA is not not powerful sometimes, and if you want to do very precise customization, you'll have to go through QMK, enter lines of code...
Besides, there are keyboard softwares like Logitech's where macros adapt to the software x)
I'm fine with it, I like tinkering :p But it's something to consider.
4. Another thing to consider, maybe a flaw or a quality depending on people... The keyboard is very flat. Not much width. The sound is "thock" but also dry and without depth/resonance. For me, it's perfect, but maybe it's not what you want. Also, it's so flat that it almost looks like a low-profile keyboard.
5. Lack of choice on ISO Switches. Why isn't there the Mint? Why not the Gateron pro like in the non-ISO version?
6. No feet, no magnets to connect the 2 parts. No product to separate the 2 keyboards in an ergonomic way (3D printable cases exist if you have 3D printer).
7. It's a bit overpriced anyway... not as much as GMK or it's nonsense but still.

I hope this review helps people. It's difficult to find "the" perfect keyboard, and like all, this one has its qualities and flaws. It's up to you to see if it's the exact keyboard that meets all your needs and usage scenarios.

Clavier presque parfait

Ce clavier est très bon et il ne lui manque pas grand chose pour être parfait. J’aurais préféré une version «bare bone» car j’ai remplacé les switches et les touches (BÉPO).
Je trouve que le câble de liaison a un peu de jeu.
