Double-Gasket Design

Double Gasket Design is an industry innovative structure. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases. It significantly reduces the resonance between the metals, which in return, reduces the noise of the impacted metals. This Double-Gasket Structure allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and make the overall typing sound better.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

*The special edition  (Orange Yellow version) is equipped with MCU ATMEGA32U4.

Programmable Knob

Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to customize your favorite keys and macros through the innovative VIA software with ease.

You can easily customize the knob to your desired key or macro commands like zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, opacity, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.

Switch layouts between
macOS & Windows.

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining the compatibility for Windows devices, the Q1 is one of the only few in the market that comes with a Mac multimedia key layout for Mac enthusiasts. With VIA, you can configure your keymap for both Mac and Windows devices.

OSA Profile ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps

To further leverage your typing experience, the Q1 ISO version comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical angle) and ABS backlight shine-through keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.

Hot-swappable

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the shine-through ABS keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.

Note: The Q1 V2's top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps, such as MT3, SA, XDA, etc.

Pre-lubed Gateron G Pro Switch

Every detail counts when it comes to a premium typing experience. An optimized mold with more precise positioning and less wobbliness will certainly improve your fingertip feel. Pair that together with our revamped stabilizers and factory pre-lubed Gateron G Pro switches, a smooth travel experience is guaranteed.

Note: The Phantom switches have phantom light effects that allows the RGB backlight to have the switches' own case color.

All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers

The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less wobbly. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q1 V2 also supports third-party stabilizers including Cherry or Durock.

Nice board, suprising.

I bought the Q1 red knob. Really nice out of the box. Took it apart and changed the stabs out and filmed the pre lubed switches. Tape mod on the PCB, put in MonsterMat car audio anti vibration/sound absorption mat and its solid, really good sound and feel. I only really game, but its nice to have a good keyboard with some heft in front of me. Oh the included keycaps are ok, i just dont like the profile so I changed out for a cherry style cap and put some o rings on them so the travel distance isnt as great...

Love this keyboard

I bought the barebones silver gray ISO Q1 (V2) and when it arrived and I opened up it made my gasp. This is my first DIY keyboard and I love the fact that I can mod it any way I like. I use milky yellow switches for now, but in my mind I already wants to try out the black ones, or oil kings. Done the tape mod, and swapped the foam under the PCB to a 3mm poron foam and now it is like melted butter. No need for force break mod, and the factory stabs are seems fine, even space sound, no rattling noise.
Only one thing is on my mind, with the packaging. If you don't fold the cable that tight, just curle it into a circle it won't leave folding marks when we straighten it out.
