Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions.

A brand new ultra-low-power Arm structure MCU which is powerful, and armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.

Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.

You can easily customize the Q3's knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.

To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want. (Note: All tools are placed on the bottom of the box)

The PCB socket of Q3 is compatible with almost all the MX style 3pin and 5pin mechanical switches on the market(including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required.

Allows the Q3 keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound. We added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases besides gaskets on the plates to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals.

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 Q3 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock.
