Keychron Q1 Barebone

The Keychron Q1 is a high-quality barebone keyboard where every switch, keycap, stabilizer, and even every plate can be individually customized. It is designed to create an exceptional typing experience through extensive personalization.

The Q1 barebone features a CNC-machined 6063 aluminum case that undergoes 24 processes, including polishing, anodizing, and sandblasting. The gasket-mounted design provides the board with a pleasant, flexible typing feel and excellent sound. The maximum flex of the Q1 is up to 2.5 mm.

The barebone keyboard includes a switch for operating system selection and an additional set of custom keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems.

Thanks to full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap every key on the keyboard. With the open-source VIA firmware, you can define any key, keyboard layout, or backlighting. It is even possible to write macros for custom key combinations.

The hot-swappable PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical MX switches. The Q1 includes Gateron screw stabilizers that provide stability and smoothness. The screw design also allows compatibility with a wide range of other stabilizers.

The south-facing RGB SMD LED lighting is easy to see, allowing each key to be individually illuminated. This is optimal for non-translucent PBT keycaps.

Keychron Q1 keycaps in the CH layout and switches are sold separately.
