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

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

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.

Why is VIA such a f****g nigthmare
The VIA boards you are using are not true VIA boards. They are just hackjobs using JSON files to do the key mapping etc through VIA and this is getting increasingly common especially from Chinese budget boards True VIA boards are 100% plug and play and it's very seamless (yes, older keychron boards

The Apple Store sells a mechanical keyboard
It is an ok keyboard, but the price makes it a bad buy. To be fair one of these is what got me started on my custom mechanical keyboard journey. But I quickly learned the K65 isn't all that great. Much better choices would be the Keychron Q1. You will pay roughly the same price but get an all alumin

Need a wireless gaming keyboard recommendation
If you want something that isn't tied down by proprietary bloatware, I'd look at keyboards that run on QMK or ZMK firmware. Those are both open source and you can program them in a Chromium-based web browser (no software to install at all). Just as an example, Keychron makes a LOT of QMK/ZMK boards

Keychron Q1 HE 8K vs SU75 PRO / IROK MG75 PRO/MAX/V2
Absolute no brainer. su75 pro any day. Skip keychron completely. Irok mg75 V2 is a good choice in terms of performance but it's not a big difference from su75 pro in tests (at least not something a human can notice as much). Stability, feel, build quality and most importantly software matters way mo

Keyboard recommendations
120 percent or 120 keys? o.O Full size is what u describe - (normal keyboard alpha-numeric + fkeys top row + arrow and function keys then + numpad on right side) And u can get a 80% (which is what I believe the wooting 80 is) he, he = hall effect (magnetic switches, NOT mechanical, but most magnetic

Looking for Premium Wireless 75% Aluminum Keyboard Options w/ Knob
Redragon k739 * ($65) Yes it's low priced and Redragon software is awful, but this is actually QMK so it doesn't use the Redragon drivers, and is amazingly well built. I would pick this over the corresponding electromechanical Q1. For a magnetic board, Keychron is undeniably the best choice by far.
