Perfect! (except for the space bar)

What's perfect:
This is just what I wanted and I'm super happy with it. I really feel like I made the right choice buying this particular deck. The low profile keys are super comfortable for typing and I now see that all I ever wanted was a shorter travel distance. To really spice this keyboard up, I ordered some Gateron Banana switches and they're perfect. The combination of tactile switches on a low profile is a great combination. Each keypress really pops.

This is my first time with a 65% keyboard and I was so afraid of not having enough keys). But it totally works because I can have everything where I want it with the VIA software. Actually it's my new preference having a lot more compact format for my regular typing keys and just making a layer below it for any media control keys or macros.

A really important add-on for me was an extra set of keycaps (I got the Keychron low profile so that I can mix and match with the key caps that come with the keyboard. With these, I could not only move the keys around in VIA, but also have all the key caps to match. For example, I wanted to change the del and home buttons to page up and page down. Those didn't come with the stock keyboard, but with an alternate set of keycaps, they can actually say the right thing. Also, since every low profile keycap is the same height, I can get creative with key placement. I love this kind of flexibility.

What's not perfect:
My main complaint is the space bar (for me it's the right space bar). Having a key right next to the space bar is really awkward. I think they got it right on the K15, Q10, Q14. Just the K11 and Q8 have this messy Fn2 key. For me personally, I will only use the Fn2 key to access the function row like once a month. It doesn't need this incredibly central position. I keep mishitting it and it's made my thumb curl in even more to avoid hitting it. It honestly feels awful. I feel kine of like this keyboard is a version 0 with this bad space bar and now I'm going to have to buy the version 1 when it comes out with the user tested space bar. Honestly, I don't use Fn1 that often either. Just move them both to the outside of the space bars and move the space bars more central.

What I'd really like for this keyboard and what I'd pay good money for would be a replacement space bar(s) where I can take out the Fn1 and Fn2 switches and the space bars extend over the empty switch spaces. If someone would make that, please hit me up and I'll buy it in a minute. I'll figure out somewhere else to put my Fn keys, but I can't keep misstriking this badly placed Fn2.

Finally, a barebones version would have been nice. I ended up buying a separate set of switches, separate set of keycaps, and even a separate knob. I would have gotten those things anyway, but it would have been nice to save $20 and not have a pile of unused red switches and key caps in my closet.
