Evaluation of Keychron Q1 on February 28th

Keychron Q1 is a mechanical keyboard designed for enthusiasts who want to customize all switches while avoiding the confusion of welding keys.

Mechanical keyboards attract specific niche markets, and the communities formed around the subject can be intimidating at times. Listen to some popular keyboard live broadcasts and you will see someone replace the switch in the custom keyboard with a soldering iron.

This is enough to deter leisure lovers.

However, Keychron has built the perfect keyboard to meet the needs of anyone who wants to customize all aspects of the keyboard without any advanced skills. Keychron Q1's plug-and-play feature allows users to customize rabbit holes in depth at will without having to buy additional tools or materials.

In addition to the title customization function, Keychron has also created a sturdy keyboard with modern beauty reminiscent of the classic Mac keyboard of the past. For people who like things like Keychron K2 and want more customization, we think Keychron Q1 is the natural next step.

The aluminum shell is available in carbon black, navy blue and silver gray. It is built around stainless steel plates, increasing the weight and firmness of the structure.

The bottom shell is made of thicker aluminum to increase the weight and reduce the "bang" sound when typing.

These parts add up to a heavy keyboard that weighs about 4 pounds. It is not suitable for moving at home or on the knee-it is a dedicated desktop keyboard.

To emphasize this point, it is also a wired-only keyboard. Keychron includes USB-C-to-C cables and USB-An adapters for maximum compatibility.

The Q1 knob version has a machined knob in the upper right corner. It matches the color of the aluminum shell, but Keychron says the aluminum color does not always match exactly because they are processed separately.
