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

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.

$200 Budget , Need Help Choosing or Building a 75% / TKL Keyboard

I would suggest to avoid those gaming brand on your list, they charge a premium price on their brand name and the gaming feature, while the typing experience is just average or below. Since you are looking for a mechanical keeb but not Hall effect, I assume you value typing experience more than extr

Výběr nové mechanické herní klávesnice - help please

Není to úplně herní klávesnice, ale mám tuhle: Keychron Q1 Max. Každá herní klávesnice, na které jsem měl možnost psát, vedle ní působí jako dětská hračka.

Why all the hate for Keychron?

Got a Q1 HE. About half a year in I got random key presses, sent it back, got a new one. A month in, the same thing happened. Definitely not a switch issue, as it happened even with the switches removed. I’m on my third one just because I love the look and feel of it, but won’t be buying any new Key

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

For gaming I can also recommend keychron Q1HE it's very small 65% has the strafing helper and excellent machining. either that or the Q3 HE for a 80%

Thoughts about the Keychron Q1 ultra

I’ve owned at least 6 keychron boards, which include the Q1 Pro, Q1 Max, and I just received the Q3 Ultra. I’ve never had any QC issues with any of these. At $229, the Q3 Ultra is an insane bargain for what you’re getting. You’d be hard pressed to build something of equal quality for less than $400-

My Keychron Q13 Max

Glad you're enjoying. Years ago, the original Keychron Q1 was my intro to custom keyboards. It was quite the gateway drug to a very expensive addiction, lol.

Mechanical keyboard or Slim keyboards for typing and coding comfort

I have tested so many keyboards over the years and I’ve settled with my modified keychron Q1 HE, but the K380 is one of my favorite keyboards. I don’t know why but I just love it.
