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.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

These double-shot PBT keycaps have a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

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 LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Pre-lubed Keychron K Pro Switch

By optimizing the switch mold, the K Pro switch wobbles less than a standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed process on all the K Pro switches (exclude the clicky ones), no doubt this will ensure the best smoothness at your fingertips when typing.

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 shaky.

Come fall in love with typing all over again!

Bought the VMK Q1 with brown switches and this keyboard already seems to me, a gamechanger. I have owned the Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Rapid with Cherry MX Blue Switches (my first mechanical keyboard), a TVSE Gold 101 keys keyboard and later a cheaper one from Cosmic Byte with Red switches that went Kaput after a year's usage. But nothing compares to the Keychron. The feel of the Brown switches and their sound comes as a pleasant surprise. They were the only ones available while buying it from the Keychron online store and I am glad I went with the brown switches. With the VIA software you can set the keys online and there is no need to download any software. You can also save the configuration on your computer. My only gripe is the connect that plugs into the keyboard. There seems to be a small looseness whereby the plugged-in part can move a little left and to the right. I am not sure if this is a problem or if this is the way it is supposed to be. Will be contacting support on this, but as of now (Day 2) the keyboard is just delightful to use. Considering I paid almost the same for the Cooler Master a decade earlier, the price of the Keychron is a good deal too. I haven't even started exploring changing switches but will do so soon. As of now I have just changed the suggested key caps change for Windows and programmed the Back Slash/Pipe symbol key as the "End" key via the software. And if I am typing away all this it is because of the joy and feel of this awesome keyboard. I also have one feedback. Will Keychron supply bigger switches for people with bigger fingers? Go for this keyboard. Highly recommended.

Great value

Delivery was quick and I love the keyboard. I previously had 2 mechanical keyboards that were around half the price of this one. Just blows them out of the water stock. Great value on sale and I recommend it highly if you are looking to get into this hobby as a beginner, like myself.

Surprisingly good for the price

Got the keyboard few days ago, I am surprised for how good it is for the price. Don't even need to mod anything, stabs are pretty good, no metal sound/resonance, brown switches are pretty good, highly recommend!

Perfect

I've been digging deep into the custom keyboards' world before buying me one, and then I decided to buy this keyboard. It's absolutely perfect for whoever wants to start with custom keyboards because it feels so good and it's FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE. The switches are hot-swappable but you can choose from 3 different types (I picked the browns, 10/10 would choose them again, supercreamy) , the default keycaps are good quality and pretty decent color and it's compatible with QMK and VIA softwares to re-map the keybinds (which is something very important and you should look for it in every keyboard). The RGB is nice, you can choose from a lot of color schemes and select the LED's brightness. They also give you a kit with the keyboard, very useful and the USB-C cable seems pretty durable, they give you also an USB-A to type C adapter if you don't have any USB-C port on your PC. Also, the shipping has been way too fast considering it was shipped from China (I'm in Italy).
The only flaw is the lack of a wireless option, but for this price you can close an eye for it.
Very satisfied, 100% would rebuy it again and again.

Love it

I love this keyboard because it's very beginner friendly for those who are starting with custom keyboards, or just aren't interested in deconstructing or building their own. I got brown switches and they are very creamy, I love the way they sound and everyone comments on them. The design is also very attractive. I've been using it for almost half a year now and I'm very satisfied with it. I just wish it also had a wireless option too, but hey, you get what you get for the budget
