It drops right into the stock Q9 case but opens up layout options the original PCB doesn't support, with way more flash memory for advanced firmware features. We build and sell these because we love the Q9 form factor and wanted to push it further — and we think you'll love what it becomes with better brains inside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery Chimera PCB ships pre-flashed with either our QoL firmware or the standard VIAL build.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evil Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42177519190101,"sku":"42177519190101","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/7944\/8661\/files\/IMG_3214.jpg?v=1772044731"},{"product_id":"alpha-ping-28-keys-is-all-you-need","title":"ALPHA \/ PING — 28 Keys Is All You Need","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-4b5dad43-7fff-25a6-bd48-4cf1b77ceaa9\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Alpha is PyroL's iconic 28-key semi-ortholinear keyboard — a community legend that proves you really don't need a hundred keys to get things done.

Most Alphas ship as blank slates that need serious configuration before they're usable. Ours arrive ready to go. Layout-appropriate combos are compiled in — A+S for Shift, Q+W for Tab, P+O for Backspace, L+; for Enter — so you're typing productively the moment you plug in. Autocorrect is on. Autoshift handles numbers and symbols. Tap dances are pre-configured and show up as clean entries in VIAL. It all just works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd then there are the add-ons.
