Keychron‘s mechanical keyboards are quite popular among consumers for their customizability and solid build. The company consistently surprises us with its innovative designs. Recently, they introduced a keyboard that can literally split into two. Today, the brand unveiled the Keychron Q9 Plus mechanical keyboard, featuring double space keys and a unique rotary knob.
The Keychron Q9 Plus comes with a
minimalistic design. It is a 40% keyboard, which means it has a smaller layout
than a traditional keyboard. The Q9 Plus also has two space keys, which is
something you don’t often see in a regular keyboard. The body of the Q9 Plus is
made of CNC aluminum, which makes it sturdy and durable. The Gasket Design
central suspension fixed structure design is a new type of keyboard mount that
is designed to provide a more comfortable and flexible typing experience.
The Keychron Q9 Plus mechanical keyboard
comes with two sets of keycaps: one set for macOS and one set for Windows. This
means that you can easily switch between operating systems without having to
change out the keycaps. The keyboard also supports QMK / VIA open-source key
change, which allows you to customize the keymap and program keys to your
liking.
The key caps on the Q9 Plus are made of
ergonomic OSA PBT ball caps. PBT is a type of plastic that is more durable than
ABS, the material that is typically used for keycaps. OSA keycaps are also
designed to be more ergonomic, with a spherical shape that is supposed to be
more comfortable to type on.
The Keychron Q9 Plus mechanical keyboard
is available in three switch bodies: K Pro brown switch, red switch, and banana
switch. These are all mechanical switches, which means that they have a spring
inside that makes them click or clack when you press them. The Q9 Plus also
supports hot-swapping and comes with south-facing RGB lighting effects. In the
upper right corner of the keyboard, there is a stepless knob that can be used
to adjust the volume. The Keyboard will go on sale in China on July 4. The
pricing is yet to be announced.
