Keychron seems to have become a bit of a byword in the mechanical keyboard community as a real benchmark-setter for its products. Not many brands have been able to match its previous efforts with regard to value for money, build quality and feature set, and its new Q3 Max aims to keep that trend going.
This is a TKL keyboard, or tenkeyless, which is a layout that chops off the numpad from the right side of the keyboard in the name of providing more desk space. While layouts such as the 65 percent and 75 percent have become more popular in recent years, the TKL layout was one of the first real small form factor layouts available. It’s functional, while not sacrificing too much in terms of additional features, apart from the numpad.
