If you're considering an Alice layout keyboard, specifically the Keychron Q10, I can confidently say it's a fantastic choice—especially for developers and typists. I use it all day long for work using reds (linear). I am currently typing on a Q10 Pro as we speak.
Build & Layout
Keychron has done an excellent job with the layout and finish of this board. The subtle ergonomic angle of the Alice layout provides just the right amount of wrist relief, which you'll appreciate if you spend all day typing. It's incredibly easy to adjust to, as long as you don't rely on looking down at the keys while typing.
Typing Experience
The dual spacebar might look odd at first, but it feels completely natural in use.
The two B keys may seem unusual, but you'll instinctively lean toward one over time.
Key placement is intuitive, and I don't find myself missing any keys compared to a traditional full-sized keyboard.
Quirks
Not Ideal for Gaming – I wouldn't recommend it if gaming is your primary use case.
Num Key Adjustment – If you frequently work with numbers (Excel users, accountants, etc.), the lack of a traditional number pad could be a significant adjustment. Even after a year, I still haven't fully adapted to the num row.
Macro Keys – The dedicated macro keys are a nice touch, but I personally haven't programmed them since I already rely on existing keyboard shortcuts.
Connectivity & Multi-Device Pairing
One standout feature is its ability to pair with multiple computers, making it extremely convenient for those who switch between devices regularly.
Final Thoughts
If you're a developer, writer, or someone who spends long hours typing, the Keychron Q10 is an excellent ergonomic option. The Alice layout provides subtle but noticeable wrist relief, and the keyboard feels premium for the price point. However, if you work extensively with numbers or need a gaming keyboard, you might want to consider other options.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely—just not for gaming or heavy number entry.
Also, the $10 dollars off is a nice touch

These are decent keyboards, but the MSRP on some is laughable.

Was planning wired but which
Was planning wired but which
I have 2 of the Q8s and I have the two buttons underneath the knob programs as Home and Page Up, respectively. With End and Page Down programmed as the secondary key with Fn1. So Fn1 + Home = End and Fn1 + Page Up = Page Down. I forget what Fn2 and either button does, however.
I love the Alice layout in general and won't use anything else if I can help it. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need the Q10 though. I actually think I might win this argument with myself.

Regardless, I love the K10. I got the base model, not the Pro as I wanted backlighting.Typing mistakes/mishits are way down.

As someone posted later, you can remap the keys to have END on the primary layer or on a secondary layer. You can replace the keycap if you want, but the keyboard probably won't come with the extra keycap to match the rest of the board.
