After my first two boards, I decided that lubing stabs was the only thing worth doing

Wasn't the whole idea behind all those mods to take the stuff that was available on the market at the time (like 5+ years ago) and improve it substantially with little effort? I mean, it is crazy how much development/improvements have happened in the last few years in terms of what you get for your

So this is the quality one can expect from a 200€ keyboard, Logitech?

If you’re buying an expensive keyboard don’t get a “gaming” keyboard. Corsair, Logitech, razor, etc. All these brands just mass produce and profit of their name. I have a Keychron Q1 V2 which is cheaper than yours and it has a CNC machined aluminum case and much nicer keycaps. Probably better switch

Just refreshed my GMMK Pro

Mainly, the fact that it's supposed to be a gasket mounted board, but the gasket mount doesn't work... literally; It's as stiff as a tray mount. I had to machine the base to allow room for movement, and fit thicker gaskets. Then there's the fact that the plates are awful, and third party stabs don't

Saw this on a Keychron listing on Amazon. We are so cooked

I got myself a Q1 two month ago and because it was my first dip into the more expensive keyboard world it was amazing at first. But after using it and reading into custom keyboards on here I disliked the sounds more and more. Then I started to mod it because I still loved the straight design of the

Best Gaming Keyboard Brand Right Now In 2026?

You obviously haven’t tried the Q1 HE 😅 i honestly can’t decide which is better. My 60HeV2 or my keychron Q1 HE. Keychron definitely feels more premium but as far as rapid trigger, actuation points, etc… they’re extremely similar and both softwares are amazing

anyone else completely avoiding peripherals that force you to keep their software running

The Keychron Q1 V2 is on sale for $89 right now. Get that... foam layer to kill ping, and it's a good workhorse of a board.

What’s going on with Keychron?

So I have several older Keychron keyboards (Q, Q Pro and V series). I've had almost no problems with them with the exception of one original model Q5 that had a hot swap socket connector pop off the rear of the PCB (which potentially was my fault when replacing switches on it as I've swapped switche

NuPhy killer or nah?

Depends on what you value I guess. My €130 Nuphy Halo 2 IO feels and sounds much better than my €225 Keychron Q1 Max... and the Nuphy doesn't have rattling stabs.

First time poster but long times user. Goodbye Keychron!

Because people love coming online to complain. They rarely come online to say they like it. Ive had the Keychron Q1 HE QMK Wireless keyboard a year now, no issues and I fricken love it 🤷 That being said, their returns page is a bit shocking.

List your Keychron Issues here

It is best to ensure that someone reviewing this thread has a wide scope of input because those that have had a negative experience are far more likely to publicly complain. As noted, this is to educate prospective buyers and not everyone has a negative experience. I have a K2 Pro, Q1 Max, and Q10 M
