Q1

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.

I love this! Yellow is my favorite color and I also work in commercial offset printing so I usually have my keyboards and caps in CMKY colorway. I bought the Keychron Q1 QMK in yellow back in 2024 and it's the perfect color of yellow but I have never gotten that board to sound like I want it to. I'v

Yeah maybe they are trying to get rid of old stock. Sounds like wireless isn't useful for you at all, in which case I do agree the Q1 V2 is probably better value for you. Especially if you are happy to mod the foams and stabilisers yourself (old stock Keychron stabs are pretty noisy).

A clearer picture of the spacebar would help, it looks like a damaged space bar. Swap it with a spacebar from another keyboard. https://imgur.com/a/keychron-q1-damaged-spacebar-DoEKlxo ^-- This don't look right. I replaced the spacebar on my K2 with a Nuphy Ghostbar because it's so much quieter.

Perhaps it can be modified or the stabilisers could be replaced? I don't kno

you've been so helpful in every thread. just have to rant: i've had many pre-builts in the past and occasionally tried different keycaps and switches, but - now that i've dived in to research doing a custom or even a handmade keycap - the issue with my main Keychron Q1 Max's space bar is so wildly g

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

I had the same with a custom Keychron Q1 Max. Ended up swapping everything out, but couldn’t really get rid of the canny sound. In my case I think it’s just the casing that sounds crap. Personally a big fan of Typeplus stabs. They only need a bit of 205.
