Bluetooth 96% Alice Q recommended by an RSI sufferer

A Bluetooth 96% Alice-layout aluminum Q with a right-hand numpad, five macro keys and a knob, about 2.3 kg. One owner credits the layout with easing RSI pain.

Our take, based on research

A sensible Bluetooth Alice 96% backed mainly by one long-term owner's positive account. Good for typing comfort, not for wireless gaming.

Overview

The Q13 Pro is the Bluetooth 96% Alice Q, with the main block split and curved and a numpad on the right. Keychron lists a gasket-mounted all-metal case, K Pro Red, Brown or Banana switches, double-shot PBT keycaps, Bluetooth for three devices, ANSI and ISO layouts, a knob and QMK with the Keychron Launcher.

The best independent report is a long-term owner write-up on the #! code blog. The author used it daily for about eight months, bought it to ease RSI from long typing days and said the inward sweep helped move the hands into a better position and largely resolved the pain. The blog describes 106 keys with five macro keys, an assembled weight of 2.3 kg, 1000 Hz over USB-C but 90 Hz over Bluetooth, and about 100 hours of Bluetooth at the lowest brightness. The only downside was that the case looks a bit plain next to the author's Q3 Pro SE.

It is one person's experience, not a lab review.
