The Keychron Q1 is a high-quality full-metal 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 Keychron Q1 features a CNC-machined 6063 aluminum case that undergoes 24 processes, including polishing, anodizing, and sandblasting. The gasket-mounted design provides a pleasant, flexible typing feel with excellent sound. The maximum flex of the Q1 is up to 2.5 mm.
The keyboard includes a switch for operating system compatibility and an additional set of custom keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems.
With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap every key on the keyboard. The open-source VIA firmware allows you to define any key, keyboard layout, or backlighting. You can even create macros for custom key combinations that you desire on your Keychron Q1. VIA supports macOS, Windows, and Linux.
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 as it faces the user. The Phantom Switches, developed in collaboration with Gateron, come pre-lubed and offer an excellent typing feel, complemented by the Double-Shot ABS keycaps.
