New firmware update (1.1.0) for K1 version 6 QMK

K1 Max too. I say kudos to the Keychron team for these changes. Per-key RGB and adjustable backlight and sleep times were on my wishlist for this keyboard. Other that the LEDs being a bit on the dim side, I now consider this a near-perfect keyboard for me. Now do the M3...

Backlight

Re "Is there any way to boost the brightness of the backlight of the key itself?": Presuming it is already at maximum brightness by Fn + W (or Fn + knob (if the keyboard has a knob)), only by using keycaps with better shine-through characteristics That may be difficult for the south-facing LEDs on t

Imai tkl tastatura (najbolje bežična) za programiranje a da nije njesra?

Ja imam keychron k1 max i zadovoljan sam. Ali kako kome odgovara, ja volim te niskoprofilne. Ima backlight, ali ga ja retko koristim, pa baterija drži baš dugo

Sugestão de teclado mecânico

Vou só dar aqui um contraponto: mudei recentemente de um Ducky One 2 para um Keychron K1 Max e estou um bocadinho desapontado. Por vezes o K1 decide passar-se e fica um uma tecla a repetir infinitamente. Claramente um problema de interferência wireless. A bateria também é miserável. Tive de desligar

K5 Max Low-profile Shine-through Keycaps

Are the Keychron shine-through caps you're using now ABS? (If so, do you like the feel as much as the PBT, or does the shine-through simply outweigh that factor in your case for that board's usage?) I tried the Womier shine-through linked upthread on a K1 Max and suffered the same problem as mention

K4 V2 RGB backlight is really weak

By changing the keyboard firmware (compiling from source code), I think it is possible to increase the current (and thus the brightness of the LEDs). I also think it is relatively straightforward, only changing a few lines of code. But the question is: What is the limit? At what current will the LED

What debounce time do you have configured on your Keychron?

I was not aware of this. I appreciate your post a lot. My Keychron K1 Max QMK at 5ms still has repeating characters on a single press. It seems to also still do this on 20ms, 30ms, ... but less. I bought this keyboard from keyboardco.com in july 2025 (I wanted an English ISO layout), so I assume it

K1 max vs QMK v6

The K1 V6 (QMK-based) has north-facing LEDs, so it will be much easier to find shine-through keycaps, including PBT keycaps (this combination is probably nearly impossible to find for south-facing keycaps). An example of PBT shine-through keycaps is Tai-Hao. I bought my set on sale for 1/3 the price
