Q1

Wasn't the whole idea behind all those mods to take the stuff that was available on the market at the time (like 5+ years ago) and improve it substantially with little effort? I mean, it is crazy how much development/improvements have happened in the last few years in terms of what you get for your

If you’re buying an expensive keyboard don’t get a “gaming” keyboard. Corsair, Logitech, razor, etc. All these brands just mass produce and profit of their name. I have a Keychron Q1 V2 which is cheaper than yours and it has a CNC machined aluminum case and much nicer keycaps. Probably better switch

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

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 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.

Keychron K2, then Q1, now PMO Wave75. NuPhy Halo75 for work. Like what many have said, Keychron is good, not amazing, just good. There's better, but you'll have to do more research.

That's me right now! I use a Google Pixel Tablet synched with a Keychron Q1 Max with jupiter brown switches. The keyboard is heavy as hell, but it's so luxurious I find its worth it to lug around to wherever I'm setting my office up for the day.

Keychron is fantastic for beginners, first 2 mecha keebs I bought was from them. You can definitely find better for the same money but if you don't want to do the research or don't know what to look for then basically any keeb Keychron sells is good, they also have a huge variety in sizes/layouts an

If you’re gonna buy «off the shelf», get yourself a Keychron. At least you’ll get something good. I got the Q1 Max myself, though they have cheaper options as well.

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
