The Keychron Q3 Knob (ISO) Barebone is a high-quality keyboard kit in an 80%/TKL format with a fully CNC-machined aluminum housing and an integrated rotary knob. The barebone version does not include switches or keycaps – you provide these yourself. The ISO version allows for layouts such as DE-ISO, UK-ISO, etc., making it ideal for the European market. Thanks to hot-swap compatibility, fully programmable firmware (QMK/VIA), and numerous modding options, it is aimed at enthusiasts who want to build a standalone, almost "custom" keyboard.
