For the Keychron Q10 I use at the office, Gateron Reds out, Gazzew Boba U4s in! 62g for the silent ones and 68g for the U4T on the F-row. Bonus Kailh Box Navys for the macro keys.

Inspired by u/defaultnamespace (l don‘t really know how and if user tagging works… I just linked to the profile!)

Did you have enough keys in the gmk dots base set for the whole keyboard? And how do you like the boba’s?

Yep, just a bit tricky to use the correct profile on each row. I tried to use the white dots just for the alphas and use the grey/light blue ones for the punctuation keys on the right, as I am still learning Colemak (the main reason for caps without legends) and unfortunately I miss a couple on the 2nd row. The keycaps were more than enough anyway, very flexible set! The U4s are a joy to type in. I have not much experience but bought a key tester with a bunch of others. They are slightly scratchy but I don’t dislike the sound.

Very nice. I used a split keyboard for years. Got a pic with the keys on it?
