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

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

$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

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. I spent a while thinking of getting Womier RD75, but came across the PMO brand, and found out it's their local Chinese

What's your writing space look like *right now*? ...Just for fun

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.

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

Help choosing a good gaming keyboard

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.

The Apple Store sells a mechanical keyboard

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

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-

G915X - 2 keyboards, 2 broken

I still like their mice, but I will never buy another KB from them. I spent a little more on a Keychron Q1 HE and have never been happier.
