65% Alice Layout Barebone Keyboard: The Q8 knob barebone version (without switches and keycaps) is a premium 65% Alice layout mechanical keyboard made from CNC-machined aluminum. Featuring an ergonomic design and double-gasket construction, combined with QMK firmware, it blends style, comfort, and functionality seamlessly.
QMK Customizable: With QMK and Keychron Launcher support, you can remap keys, personalize lighting, tweak layouts, and program the rotary knob for custom functions such as volume control, scrolling, media playback, or macros. The Q8 is fully compatible with macOS and Windows, featuring a dedicated toggle switch for seamless OS switching.
The Q8 Barebone supports hot-swapping with most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, and more), with no soldering required. PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers are used for larger keys such as the space bar, Shift, Enter, and Delete to reduce wobble and improve stability.
Double-Gasket Design: The double-gasket structure helps maintain flexibility while improving overall typing sound. Added sound-absorbing foam and case foam significantly reduce resonance and unwanted noise between metal components. Each part can be easily disassembled and reassembled for further customization.
The south-facing RGB LEDs are designed to better illuminate the keyboard from the typist's angle, especially when using non-shine-through PBT keycaps. Switches and keycaps are not included with the Q8 Barebone version and must be purchased separately to use the keyboard.
