The Best Wireless Mechanical Keyboard for Mac? Keychron Q1 Pro Review

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 10 тра 2023
  • I finally managed to get my hands on the Keychron Q1 Pro, which builds upon the success of its popular 75% keyboard predecessor by adding advanced features such as Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity and a polycarbonate PCB plate. In this video, I compare the Pro to the original Q1 & demonstrate some of the modifications I've used to get the most out of these mechanical keyboards.

    Just got the Q1 pro barebone in Shell White, still waiting for switches and caps though. But man, straight out of the box this feels like a tank! The rotary encoder and knob feel amazing, very smooth and precise. I will never buy a mainstream pre-built plastic Ducky, Corsair or Logitech ever again, this is so much better! It's my first custom board and I don't really have anything else to compare it to than those plastic ones, but it feels great so far. Still, I'm going to add some dampening in the bottom of the shell.
    Hopefully this trend of highly customizable boards will just increase over time and larger companies will jump on it too, I don't mind spending $300-400 or even more on a board if the quality is there.

      Hey there! Have you considered trying out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and powerful device that combines vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your desk and living spaces spotless. It's also great for cleaning your car's interior and even inflating items like a kayak. Plus, it's portable and lightweight for on-the-go use. Give it a shot, I think you'll find it quite handy!

      Pretty sure there’s a Poly plate option, but stock hasn’t been great recently. The Q2 is a 65% board with no function keys compared to the Q1’s 75% layout 👌🏼

    I have the Q1 non-pro with the same layout. I didn't realize it at the time, but losing the dedicated END key is a huge setback....I instinctively use it all the time. So I went and got myself a K10 which is a full layout and all is well in the world again.... I'd sacrifice the knob to get that key back. Side by side with my K10 Pro there is no real difference in typing feel and sound, they are both pretty similar overall.
