Keychron Q1 Max RGB QMK/VIA Custom Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-Swappable Full Metal Programmable Knob with Gateron Jupiter Banana Switch, 2.4 GHz/Bluetooth/Wired Gaming Keyboard for Mac Windows Linux

My initial one-month review is that this keyboard is the best I've ever used. The keys are the right balance of clicky and responsive without being completely obnoxious. I'll admit I was going to swap out the brown switches for blues but decided to give it a week and really enjoy the more subtle tone of the browns.The keyboard is heavy enough to use as a blunt force weapon against a home invader and take no damage which is pretty awesome, and I like the concept the swappable switches and keys though I have yet to do that.The bluetooth and wireless dongle do what they say on the tin. No issues there.For the time being, I can give this keyboard a recommendation. I'll update in a few months if things change.

I've recently started getting into building/modding keyboards, and Keychron delivers. This is a solid mid-tier level keyboard, pretty good out of the box, and I own about 4 of them so far (really love the gateron juniper banana switches) . They are easy to further mod ( tape/ dampening foam mod) and easy to configure - be sure to use the keychron launcher if you decide to configure the software. Some websites point people to VIA software to program your keyboard, but go with the keychron launcher ( just google it, it will come up) - way easier since it was developed by Keychron themselves.

Keys dont respond and lag in both wired and wireless mode. This is actually the worst response I get from any keyboard. Amazon basics keyboards responds better than this junk. In fact I even used an apple keyboard on my windows laptop to play dota -- it works a million times better. If this wasnt for the fact that it was 200 dollars I would have trashed this keyboard. DO NOT GET IT. HOT TRASH

I got it with the red switches. Best damn keyboard I've ever had the pleasure of typing on. Quiet, tactile, and I eve loved the stock keycaps it came with (some sort of OEM or SA style maybe?) Very ergonomic.-1 star because the south facing RGB, while compatible with more keycap styles, is useless. It'll either blind you or struggle to shine through most shinethrough keycaps. Pleas offer a north facing option on most of your boards (hopefully it can be economically feasible.)If you don't plan on using RGB, this is the 65% keyboard for you. If you do like RGB, consider something north facing.P.S. this board is fully customizable through the web based keychron launcher (keychrons version of via), or (with a firmware flash) through via or vial. Including any combination of Fn key customization, 4 layers, macros, etc etc.

This pad is amazing, if you don't enjoy it...... you suck. That's the only way to put it to words. Spent what I could and I've been straight mercing on HLL and arma. Everything else is a skill issue. 💋

If you want a premium typing experience with out having to buy key caps, switches lube etc and build it your self. This is the board you need. First time trying the banana switches and they feel/sound amazing. Each key press is like a shot of dopamine. Prior to this i had a few mechanical boards keychron k4, corsair k70 low pro rapid fire and this one is on another level for sure. The F & J keys are slightly more indented than the others so you can position your fingers quickly. Excellent board, highly recommended. 👌

Upgraded from a Keychron K2 after 3 years. For someone who appreciates pre-built mechanical keyboards, this Q1 Max is great. The tactile response of the switches, overall weight in the frame, and functionality for Mac users is why I ended up with this keyboard. I'm glad I went with the banana switches; slight creaminess without being too loud is great.

This is a really well built keyboard. It feels like typing on butter.
