Great mechanical keyboard

As a long time Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard user, I have been searching for a long time to find a Mechanical keyboard that offered a split layout and also included ten-key. The Keychron Q13 Pro is finally the keyboard that I have been looking for. After using the keyboard for a few weeks, I am very happy with the purchase.

Good:
* A split layout mechanical keyboard that includes ten-key
* Support for both Windows and Mac
* Bluetooth support (personally haven't used)
* USB-C cable comes with USB-A adapter
* Customizing the keyboard with Via is very easy and it is great the customizations stay with the keyboard, so it acts the same on all machines you use it on.

Improvements I would like to see:
* I wish the keyboard just came with the acoustic upgrade pre-installed. As a novice in the mechanical keyboard world, I am pretty hesitant to fully take apart the keyboard. So I only ended up adding the bottom layer. With the price point of this keyboard, it should just have been included.
* I wish you had the option to choose Cherry Profile keycaps instead of the KSA ones. I personally feel the KSA ones are too high and made typing uncomfortable. After swapping out the keycaps with cherry ones, I am much happier now.
* I kind of wish that the keyboard had the full layout instead of 96%. I ended up remapping the M keys to Page Up / Page Down / Home / End / Insert because they are very useful for programmers.

Overall, I highly recommend the keyboard, however you may want to order a set of cherry keycaps to find the right profile for yourself.

Double-Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the acoustic resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. 

Double-Gasket Design

Experience the next level of key sounds and comfort with our gasket mount design together with a flexible PC (Polycarbonate) plate. This design combination allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 chip (MCU) equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on type-c wired mode (90 Hz on wireless mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

KSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

To further fine-tune your typing experience, we designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.

Endless possibilities for a fluid workflow thanks to its ability to remap any key, and create macro commands, shortcuts, or key combinations through the QMK/VIA.

Check out the video above demonstrating how to remap the F16 key to an Eject key with the VIA software to create a shortcut to put your Mac to sleep (Command-Option-Eject).

Please download the appropriate keymap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on "Show Design tab" on "Settings" tab, and drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the Q13 Pro keymap working on VIA.

Keychron Q13 Pro Hot-Swappable

Hot-Swappable

Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the Q13 Pro with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.

South-Facing RGB

Comes with 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed, and different modes, or even remap these keys with QMK/VIA.

Keychron K Pro Mechanical Switch

By optimizing the switch mold, the Q13 Pro switch wobbles less than the standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed K Pro switches will ensure the best fingertip smoothness. Not to mention the banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.

Keychron K Pro Switch Features

PCB Stabilizers

No detail is too insignificant when it comes to your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as the space bar, shift, enter, and delete keys. You can even customize your favorite stabilizers on your own.
