Does it have magnets or something to hold it together if you choose to push the sides together?

It does not

awww. That would be so cool if its magnetized.

You might be able to add a magnet but don't think it's necessary

can do that with a hot glue. Never own a split keyboard before so I'll take your words for it :)

I've used the Ergo TKL by cloud nine which has a magnet but it's not very good. I prefer the Q11 as it stays put. Also the cloud9 is bulkier and more hollow. Not a bad keyboard just not the bees knees

It doesn't, but the weight of the case plus the rubber feet on the bottom plus fitting together like a puzzle piece all keep it from moving, so I don't think you need them.

I was wondering about this, thanks!

What about palm support?

Currently on a Kinesis Freestyle 2 with the palm supports that clip in and follow each half. Along with the Q11, I,m considering the Freestyle Pro with MX Browns as the palm support function in the same way.

I wasn't able to find anything similar for the Q11. I wonder if getting palm supports for the Q11 would just be too many things moving around on the desk?
