- Опубліковано 29 лип 2024
- Over the last few months Ive been playing a lot of games and Ive been testing out lots of new keyboards at both ends of the pricing spectrum. The Keychron Q1 Max is on the higher end of that spectrum and is the latest keyboard that Ive had on my desk. It could also be the keyboard that stays on my desk.

i dont need another keyboard i dont need another keyboard i dont need another keyboard i dont need another keyboard i dont need another keyboard i dont need another keyboard
You def don't need THIS keyboard
I said the same thing about the MK770, yet I'm clicking on the tracking information for the one I ordered post the CM MK770 that was put out.
However, going to pass on this one, just didn't hit all the marks.
I'm getting the new wooting when it comes out but maybe if I had more space I'd get more.
I’m glad I’m broke sometimes. LOL
I keep telling my girlfriend that, but keep buying them…. I do love my Q1 V2, though. The last two were for her, but she doesn’t even care, lol.
I got the Q2 (65%) barebone for over a year now, it's a great hefty keyboard. Everybody who tried it was impressed by the feel, how it sounds, and its weight. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Thank you for this review!! Was tough finding one that wasn’t sponsored. Ended up getting it with a different set of cherry profile keycaps and am enjoying it. Couldn’t find another brand with an aluminum keyboard that had Bluetooth, 2.4 ghz wireless, and supports VIA
Excellent video fams. Keychron make some nice boards. Keen for the nuphy video coming soon!
Which board from nuphy?
Nice video, I do love my Q3 😄
Got my Q1 Max a few weeks ago with the Gateron Banana Yellow Switches and it was really great out of the box. I updated with the force break and tape mod and wow, it's super thocky. I'm really enjoying it so far. Yes, it is heavy but I appreciate they build quality. It's a tank!
Banger of a video fams. The keyboard looks legit
I have bought a q5max for my office desk, that's great. good for typing, not too large and great battery life except using the rgb
I bought the white kit last year for my daily, been loving it with Zeal Roselio switches (not sponsored I bought all this shit because it's awesome and I type for hours every day)
I have the V6 because I prefer having a numpad and you need one for playing ETS2, ATS and Star Citizen. I do have to remap my key binds because I need to get to the layer 2 profile. Keychron is an awesome keyboard.
Is it too heavy to plop on my lap if I'm gaming on my couch / TV?
On a serious note. I would *love* to see an analysis of the sound frequency from these various keyboards and their switches.
I have a Q1 Pro and an original Q2, both with the acoustic upgrade kits. I've replaced the caps and switches as I don't like the Keychron caps but that's just my preference. As I'm usually wired I'm good without the 2.4Ghz but it would be nice to have. Great review and it's nice to see they have continued to make upgrades after the Pro version. Have you seen the Lemokey P1 that's coming? To me it's basically a Q1 Max with cherry profile caps for $99. They are going to have to save costs somewhere though so I'm curious as to where they will do it.
I am looking at the board but agree. That being said, their $35 C3 is great for a budget board, and others have good $80-100 boards, so I am hopeful it’s pretty good.
I have my V1 Max and I just bought couple of weeks ago :D
Looks interesting, but I am fine with my Q1 v2 in green, but I would like a V4 Max (60%) which does not exist at the moment.
I am still on my K2 v2 modded and looking towards V1 Max as an upgrade in months to come - programmable, 2.4Ghz and better build are just about good reasons for USD100, unless I find an alternative maker at the same price with better build/features/acoustics. Think I'll be switching to XDA keycaps that I have currently.
Decided to buy this after I couldn't get a Razer BlackWidow V4 75% in white. Same price, impossible to find in the EU and isn't wireless.
Your review made my decision way easier. Thanks!
I have had 3 keychron keyboards and I love them. I use them at home and at work. They have no match
Any quiter switch recommendations? Still too loud for me? Will other switch affect the polling rate?
the Jupiter reds that come with the board are pretty damn quiet. The board has a lot of foam in it and it really helps make it quiet.
Been looking at ordering the q2 max
Can't wait for my q6 max to come.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the keychron q1 pro and q1 max, I can seem to see any.
the max has (much) better wireless and sounds better out the box, that's about it
@@unadulterated Ended up buying the Q1 max 2 months ago as it was the only one in stock! ha-ha. But thank you. :)
@@mariettemayisa is the wired input lag noticeable?
How is the connectivity? I have previous the k2 pro version and the bluetooth was very bad
Honestly, it's really good. I'm still using it on rotation with my other 3 decks.
@@GearSeekers am going literally to buy this keyboard because of you. I will buy the red switches because my wife complained hahaha, but can i ask you a question since am brand new to this keyboards. if i buy the fully assembled red switches, and i also buy Gateron Aliaz Silent Tactile Switch (official page), would my keyboard be more silent? the support of keychrone is horrible in Germany... it sucks, every email is short, without anypoint. Thank you for your effort
I love my Keychron v3, but their keycaps were cheap AF. Replaced them with nicer ones I got from AliExpress for less than $2! That aside, I love my keeb, and this is a very tempting replacement for my home keev
The q1 max is great. No complaints after 30 days
FINALLY a good quality hotswap 75% ISO board with wireless... just ordered the white barebones version with some baby kangaroo switches to replace my kbd67
Wait for the Q1 HE
Pre-ordered my Q1HE today!
No thanks, i want tactile switches and you cant have those with HE
@@MadMaxx1977 Nice! I was #68 on the Kickstarter - so close!
@@chronicmayhem To each their own. I want HE for games.
1:11 Nick and his ASMR keyboards...
Hes good at it bahaha
If this is the benchmark we are fucked
waiting for that Q1 HE bby
Are these south-facing LEDs? If so you're limited in keycap replacement, correct me if I'm wrong (some keycaps work but you get a "scratchy" sound on one row).
You mean North facing, south facing doesn't interfere with Cherry profile keycaps but north facing will.
@@MarbsMusic thanks, I'm a newb
@@nimrodery Most welcome, we start somewhere!
Decent price for an aluminium board from a big brand. Seems very similar to my Skyloong GK75 but without the knobs and more importantly, without the truly terrible software.
Sound isnt bad but compared to other aluminiums, its not good either. Just sounds like most other plastic boards with a linear switch. Sad its 330 and they already sell accoustic upgrade kits for it. Hardly MAX if you've got $30 add ons to make it sound good.
If you’re on the fence about this PLEASE WAIT TILL APRIL. A better version is up for preorder and it’s the same thing but with magnetic switches
Not a fan of the spacebar click, seems a bit too tinny not the same thock the other keys had.
Same mine is so high pitched , mine also arrived dirty lol
Good to hear, because I pre-ordered the Q1-HE. Also, it isn't lazy prefering pre-build keyboards.. I do not get why people would care so much and built a keyboard from scratch, that just seems way too dumb and my guess is that 99% of all who does, are bad at games and so.. it just seems even more pointless. Imo.
Once you go Knob, you never go back! Hi Klaire! Hi Bindi! yo Nick!
😆 knob gang
Is it just me or the spacebar makes a rattling sound ?
its just you
@@GearSeekers That's good news thanks, my Q1 max is on the way !
Nice. But Keychron keyboards seems so damn tall.. maybe it doesn't matter much?
Hey, family love you all. Hi Klaire ❤
😘
Greetings to the Lady of the Channel 👋
The spacebar sounds so bad, why would they release it like that?
Day xxxx of just wanting Steel Series to release the Merc Stealth again
2:12 noooo, my Yankee brain is triggered! 😅
Augh, you poor wuz! 😁
Nah, still prefer nuphy Halo 75 v2 or field 75 over this
not a fan of the sound... especially with that price tag attached.
What's wrong with the sound? It's quieter than mine and I installed dampers.
There just seemed to be a bit too much play in some of the keys and the stabilizers. Double gasket and lubed should have added some smoother sound to the keys bottoming out. Agreed on the price comment, doesn't lend to a justification in price with the sounds coming from the key test.
Thank you for the review though! Still nice to get good insight before test driving.
@@eljefe7070yt they sell an acoustic upgrade kit for like $10, it makes a HUGE difference on the sound. I'm unsure why they don't just include that on the Max. I have those installed on both my Q series board and they sound great. The other thing is that the switches aren't my favorite and those tall thin PBT caps are are a major issue with the sound as well.
@@eljefe7070yt absolutely! Thank you for the review OP. This was not to say anything against you, more just a statement of my personal preferences.
@@RyanVitt I agree with your personal preference. The price tag is usually the first decision point for me, but I can move past that if the preinstalled switches, keys and other supporting features are already good. Personally, i'm not a keyboard modder, just a hobbyist. However, like a few other comments on here I REALLY like my Keychron K4 with brown switches. It's my main work place keyboard for daily use at my job.
Waiting for Keychron Q1 HE review
its interesting listening to someone thats not really well versed in the mechkeyboard hobby. but i respect it, although keychron isnt it
To be honest. I cant stand a loud keyboard.. It drives me crazy.. lol. The Razor Huntsman V2 is my favorite for work and gaming.
Can't get with that kinda noise on keyboards. Don't make sense nowadays still building "noisy" keyboards.
Does nobody budget?!
I don't get how so many adults are just fine with no num pad, especially you.
Yeah I budgeted for a big desk and giant mouse pad.
I have a phone for that. I don't want a full size keyboard taking up room on the desk if I don't use it all. Plus of all you do is game.... Then no. You don't need a full size kb
Lmao nah
Do not buy from this manufacturer. Our keyboard came with broken keys and they are being horrible to work with and won't replace them. Customer service is horrible. I like the keyboard feel- but hate that I am stuck with a brick sitting on my desk.
Where did you buy it rrom?
There should be removable + rechargeable batteries instead of those chinese dump battery. now these days fixed battery concept is a waste of money on tech.
PAID ADVERTISEMENT, A ton of these videos about a keyboard all saying the same buzzwords, "benchmark" and bs jsut showed up on my youtube. This guy just lost all credibility, audios
I wish I was paid for this. Take off that tinfoil hat
benchamrk ? are you mad ?
Do not buy it. This is a Chinese keyboard. I am Chinese. I try my best not buy anything from China.
Huhcat.mp4
@@GearSeekers do not misunderstand. I like your videos. This is not personal. I just hate CCP.
