I think people underestimate how fantastic the Keychron Q's are.
I have an NK65 and a Glorious Pro and my Keychron Q12 is miles beyond both. For $200, what you get is mindblowing.

How is the q12? Been thinking of picking one up for work and am wondering if the southpaw numpad helps at all.

I’m genuinely loving it. The numpad takes a little getting used to, but I find it better than not having it and getting more comfortable using it every day.
The Q12 feels like a $400 board.

Agreed. I replaced the switches with Baby Kangaroos and keycaps with a different set, did a force break mod, added some thin case foam, and it sounds amazing.

I love mine. Posted pics and specs.

I didn't know the Q12 existed until I read your comment (doesn't seem to exist as far as ISO goes anyways).
Moving the numpad to the left side of the main keyboard is... so smart. Easier to keep a natural position infront of your monitor (big reason I use TKL/75s) but retaining the numpad. Cool stuff.

It was released only a couple days ago. But yeah southpaw numpad seems like a more intuitive design

Q12 ISO is available, just only in barebones

This is good to know! I was torn between an NK65 and keychron Q2 around when the Q2 was announced and ended up going keychron cuz of the knob but always wondered if I should've gotten an NK
This just helps reaffirm my decision!

The NK65 not being gasket mounted makes long periods of typing on it difficult. I don’t know if I can go back

The Q12 is I think my favorite so far.
