Q1

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

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. I had to machine the base to allow room for movement, and fit thicker gaskets. Then there's the fact that the plates are awful, and third party stabs don't

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

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

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

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
