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

Best Gaming Keyboard Brand Right Now In 2026?

You obviously haven’t tried the Q1 HE 😅 i honestly can’t decide which is better. My 60HeV2 or my keychron Q1 HE. Keychron definitely feels more premium but as far as rapid trigger, actuation points, etc… they’re extremely similar and both softwares are amazing

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.

List your Keychron Issues here

It is best to ensure that someone reviewing this thread has a wide scope of input because those that have had a negative experience are far more likely to publicly complain. As noted, this is to educate prospective buyers and not everyone has a negative experience. I have a K2 Pro, Q1 Max, and Q10 M

$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

Why is VIA such a f****g nigthmare

The VIA boards you are using are not true VIA boards. They are just hackjobs using JSON files to do the key mapping etc through VIA and this is getting increasingly common especially from Chinese budget boards True VIA boards are 100% plug and play and it's very seamless (yes, older keychron boards

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

Tastiera meccanica

Per quanto riguarda il layout italiano è già una cosa che delimita il campo a pochissime tastiere, infatti la stragrande maggioranza usa ANSI US, l'ISO ITA è una nicchia. Tuttavia ci sono marchi buonissimi che propongono layout ISO, uno di questi è Keychron. Attualmente non vende specificamente tast

Is this a group only for complaining?

Q1 HE owner for over a year and a half, no issues whatsoever. Love my board to bits, even though it took a lot of modding to achieve the deeper sound I was looking after. I'm kinda bummed by the side-printed OSA PBT keycaps I got from keychron last week though, as there is a noticeable variation of
