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

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.

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

What is this garbage? Q1 Max
It is a well-known problem. There are nearly 200 reports in this subreddit. For example, from earlier today: 1-year old Q1 Max with double typing issues. #183. Your options are warranty (hopefully, you didn't buy it directly from Keychron), throw it in the bin in anger (but some might want to catch

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

just got a t480 as my first thinkpad…
I have a Keychron Q1 with Red switches, gasket, oring mod and re-lubed. I still prefer laptop keyboard... My Q1 is in a corner while I use an Apple Magic Keyboard. I only ever take it out for an hour, use it, get tired hands, abandon. There's just something about low profile keys man...

Why is the Q1 V2 barebone $69 but the Q1 Pro barebone $149?
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).

My Q6 Max ordered from Keychron is arriving soon, how worried should I be?
I have a Q1 V2, a matching Q0 and a Q5 Pro. No issues on any of them. I ditched the keycaps and switches on all of them (my preference, no issues with either). My son loves the Bananas I gave him. I prefer silent tactile and have Boba u4s and Outemu Silent Cream Yellows now. My only issue ever was w

Why is the Q1 V2 barebone $69 but the Q1 Pro barebone $149?
Re "I care almost entirely about how quiet the board can be": The space bar on the K10 Pro is quite loud (and it isn't much better on the V Max series) I presume the Q Pro series, including the Q1 Pro, has the same problem. Perhaps it can be modified or the stabilisers could be replaced? I don't kno

Why all the hate for Keychron?
I think most keychron hate come from us SEA. The thing is, with 55€ in here, what's stopping you from getting a Rainy75, which can even slap a Keychron Q1 Max to the face while being twice cheaper. And at the Q1 Max's price, i don't think we can find a worse keyboard that doesn't come from a gamming
