Has anyone used the Keychron Q11?

www.keychron.com Keychron Q11 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard

The fully assembled version includes: The keyboard PCB and case (the plate is integrated with the case). Double-shot OSA PBT keycaps (including Mac & Windows keycaps). Gateron G Pro switches. The barebone version does not include the keycaps and switches.No discount codes can be used for Q11. Pl...

I'm looking for a more ergo keyboard and am looking at the Keychron Q10 (Alice) or Q11 (split), but I'm leaning more towards to the Q11:

Extra rotary encoder in the top-right
Don't need an extra "B" key
2 extra keys to the right of the right spacebar

I have the V10 which is the tray mount, ABS Variant of the Q10. I can actually say that it does not create that much of a difference, the two halves are spaced out yes, but not enough to a point where I can say it is comfortable, but that might lean more towards the fact that I might be more ape than human 🤣.
- Thanks for sharing!

Just ordered it myself. Was also debating between the 10 and 11, but decided the split would be more versatile and not take up nearly as much space. Plus, two knobs!!!
They are on backorder until mid July from mechanicalkeyboards.com but it's free shipping and you get the assembled version for the price of the barebones
- Let me know what you think about the 11 when you get it!
  
  So far pretty great! Split is great, I wish there was a better way to connect the two halfs, the extra cable clutters up my desk. Solid build quality, pretty heavy. The keycaps are already getting a bit shiny after just a couple weeks of use, which is disappointing. I went with the brown switches that have a very subtle tactile bump, but are actually much quieter than the liners I had on my k4. The two knobs are great, but I only end up using the right one 90% of the time. Macro buttons are super useful, I wish 8 could find a nice relegendable keycap for them though. Overall about a 8/10.
