- QMK/VIA literally means endless possibilities for a fluid workflow. Simply connect the Q2 to your device with a cable, import the Q2 keymap JSON file into the VIA software, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on macOS, Windows, or Linux operating system. Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions.
- You can hot-swap the Q2 Barebone version with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. The PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizer for “big keys” such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete are designed for less wobbliness.
- Double-Gasket design allows the Q2 to maintain its flexibility and improves overall typing sound. Added sound-absorbing and case foams inside to significantly reduce the sound resonance and noise between the metals. Each keyboard component could be reassembled easily, so you can customize it the way you want.
- The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle if non-backlight shine-through PBT keycaps (NOT included on the Q2 Barebone version) are installed. Note: Users need to buy switches and keycaps separately in order to type with the Q2 Barebone version.
