Q4

The Q are really hard to justify, except maybe the Q4 is still a bit of a bargain. I still prefer the J2 to any of the Q or V lines. The Keychron design language that makes then leave out the bottom key in the navigation column in the V1/Q1 kind of ticks me off. Moving the column over 1/4u and putti

That looks like a pretty generic 60% board, and for $99 on Amazon US rather overpriced - that's more than a Keychron Q4! I would return it and get a QMK based 60% board that supports mod-tap arrows instead. Then you can tap the keys to use them as arrows, or hold them to use them as modifiers (contr

Are you suggesting that I use the product without installing the latest firmware Yes. It's a keyboard. It's not an internet connected device that is exposed to attacks. It's unlikely that there will ever be any significant bugs that need fixing. Particularly if it's QMK: the QMK firmware is so well

Q6 Max has regular mechanical switches, HE has Hall Effects. All Keychron boards are TMR (supposedly the better kind of HE switches). I had Q6 HE full sized for gaming and could not say a bad word about it. I downsized to Q4 HE because turns out I didn't need a full size keyboard and would rather en

Just installed my first set of CeraKeys ceramic keycaps onto my Keychron Q4 Pro. Love the way they look. I have a bunch of keyboards and tons of different keycaps, but these so far are my wife's favorite. They feel surprisingly nice. Way different than plastic keycaps. Cool to the touch and solid, b

Bookmarked! I have totally stolen your "hospital-scrubs blue" slur except here they mostly seem to be a kind of disturbing pale teal that's the exact color Keychron uses for the accents on the navy blue Q4.

The past year or so has actually been somewhat of a renaissance in inexpensive 60% keyboards with QMK firmware. Some of them, like the Redragon k717, are already out of stock everywhere. But these should still be available: CIDOO QK61 * ($45) On the plus side, this is a gasket mount board, on the do

Highly considering the Keychron Q4 HE QMK (Also the 65% and 75% versions) Was trying to look for a high quality, 60-65% Wireless Rapid Trigger keyboard with 8k polling. This is really close to what I'm looking for but just w/o 8k polling. Currently have the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini 60% Wireless tha

I have a keychron V5 max. Im looking currently at Q4, is this a worth it upgrade? What other brand would be an upgrade from Keychron? My budget is under 200, im looking for a 60% . I will probably get my own switches and keycaps, since im worried to do other upgrades since im new.
