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

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
