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

Unpopular opinion: the V1 at $74 makes the Q1 Max at $199 almost impossible to justify. I ran the numbers.

The Q are really hard to justify, except maybe the Q4 is still a bit of a bargain. I still prefer the J2 to any of the Q or V lines. The Keychron design language that makes then leave out the bottom key in the navigation column in the V1/Q1 kind of ticks me off. Moving the column over 1/4u and putti

Keychron sales

Not sure what shortcomings you see, I have a Q4 and a Monsgeek M1 v3 and the quality and features of the Monsgeek board are at least in-line with the Keychron. Keychron has been having serious quality control and design problems, particularly in gasket mounted boards like the Q1, and their overworke

is the keychron v5 max a good keyboard?

Here is a different kind of feature matrix. Though it is missing a lot of keyboards. For example, the only HE keyboard is Q1 HE. I don't see the point if such a list is not comprehensive.

Help! Spacebar works with this switch but not with others. The spacebar on my keychron Q1 wont register if I put in oil king or gateron smoothies. But other tactile switches work just fine. My brain is bout to explode cuz I couldn't figure out WHY? It only happens to the spacebar the rest of keys ar

Meet the world's first full-body ceramic keyboard — the Keychron Q16 HE 8K.

Was a big fan, until my Q1 HE bugs that keychron support ignores. Still doesn’t work with any Apple related.

Thoughts about the Keychron Q1 ultra

I am working on a full video review of it (not plugging my channel and it's not associated with this reddit account, not trying to point to my own stuff), but after a few days with it I am returning it. And that's from someone who mostly types on the Q1 Max and considers it in my top 10 keyboards of

Keychron Q1 HE Bluetooth connection issue

There have been updates (near "0.2.2") to the wireless firmware (inside the keyboard). At least it helps if RGB light is off. Whether an update would make any difference for this particular problem is not known. Be very, very careful updating wireless firmware (you risk permanently bricking the wire

New Keychron Q1 HE Battery not charging fully (93%)

Kann ich nachvollziehen. Hatte mir die Akko Mod007 HE geholt. Akku nach 4 Stunden ohne Beleuchtung leer. Dazu noch andere Fehler. Ok, mir die Keychron Q1 HE geholt. Akku läd nicht. Dann die Q6 geholt, jetzt bin ich glücklich nachdem ich gelernt habe das man nicht auf Kabelmodus stellt ohne ein Kabel

Keychron C3 Pro static rgb lighting on keys

For the main keyboard firmware for a QMK-based Keychron keyboard (except the original Q1 V1, with the ATmega32U4 microcontroller, and only if the bootloader is actually overwritten), the bricking will not be permanent. The key to recovery is the space bar method (without the repowering). I have bric
