Title: first-time inquiry to ordering..
Post by: simplycanada on Fri, 09 December 2022, 06:29:15
don't mind me asking but I presume that the four different plates offered on the 'customize your keychron q6' page are just simply optional mods as even the barebone kit already comes with its own plate prefitted right? just wanted to be sure I wasn't looking at this the wrong way :-)

and if I pick lubricated switches from keychron in the same cart then really all I would need to still find from elsewhere is a compatible usb cable and the keycap set I like then otherwise I'm pretty much already ready to type right? (do I need a puller? I somewhat doubt it after all..)

This barebone kit (https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39990023848025)?  Yes, just add keycaps, switches and a USB-C cable.  If you don't plan on taking the keycaps off you wont need a puller, if you eat near it or have a beard so will drop hairs in it you will want a puller to remove the caps and clean it :thumb:
