After my first two boards, I decided that lubing stabs was the only thing worth doing

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

Working on a Modular keyboard - Any thoughts??

ugh.............finally, someone does it. Yes, I'd personally like something like this and often wondered why Keychron for example, didn't add magnets and kept the dimensions the same for the Q1 and Q0 respectively. also +1 for an ISO layout

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

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

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.

What’s going on with Keychron?

So I have several older Keychron keyboards (Q, Q Pro and V series).

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

First time poster but long times user. Goodbye Keychron!

Because people love coming online to complain. They rarely come online to say they like it. Ive had the Keychron Q1 HE QMK Wireless keyboard a year now, no issues and I fricken love it 🤷 That being said, their returns page is a bit shocking.

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.

anyone else completely avoiding peripherals that force you to keep their software running

The Keychron Q1 V2 is on sale for $89 right now. Get that... foam layer to kill ping, and it's a good workhorse of a board.

Joined the Mech Gang

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
