Pros

  • Q1 barebones (black): $65... The Q series is a few years old at this point and somewhat basic in terms of features by modern standards (i.e. little foam, simple gasket, wired only) but these used to cost to almost $150 to $200 or more at...

  • i miss my Keychron Q1 feel. (the Q1 is ISO, but im looking for an ANSI board).
  • Parent context: Beside the Leobog Hi75 is there any other alluminium wired only hotswappable keyboard? Reply: Monsgeek M1V3, Keychron Q1

Cons

  • My hand gets less strained when typing on my laptop than my full-height keyboard (Keychron Q1V1). I want to try a low-profile keyboard for this reason.
  • I have been using an unmodded keychron q1 for a while now. I would like to get a lower pitched sound when typing.
  • Love this board and form factor and modded the ever-loving heck out of it, but... I'm beginning to experience issues with key presses not being detected. Looks like a recuring issue and pressing the keys/switches into the board isn't f...
