Hi everyone~ at 8:31 i'm using pbt notion cherry keycaps with gateron pro red switches, i'm so sorry for the false information! ;-;
Also at the end of the video i ask a question: *what is something you're grateful for?* i would love to know! :3
I'm grateful for you and your videos
i got a q1 the day after watching this video, it sounds amazing
@@cyberrrt It sounds clean but pingy, but I think the ping is a nice touch for some reason ;-;
@@wil- i dont have silicone yet, and also i still use the default keycaps because i still couldnt choose a set yet :/ it took me like 3 weeks checking amazon at school to realize keycaps are either clones or expensive
@@cyberrrt you dont need silicone you can use little strips of tape for the force break mod to make the ping go away, also some clones are decent i have some gmk olivia clones which i bought from aliexpress and they aren't bad
One of my favorite videos! This keyboard sounds so cool with these mods!
Yey! You finally entered the heavy kind of keyboards. I’ve been waiting for this moment^_^
new captions looking n i c e
yes
didnt even notice but yeah, its great
Great video! I've been looking at getting a Q1 V2 for a while now, getting everything ready like switches, new stabilisers and some other things I want to try out. I've seen some people try a silicone sheet in the case to try and dampen the sound a bit so I might try that out. Looking forward to it!
As always i feel so relaxed/calm watching your videos. Would love to see more vlog type videos too like your "mini vlog" or "few days in February"!
aww, glad you enjoy them! and thanks for your input, currently i'm not planning to do vlogs as i'm currently in a bad shape, but i will do a cozy QnA (hopefully soon) :D
Just bought this keyboard, thanks for the great video. Can't wait to get it.
Oooo just bought the exact same board a few days ago! Can’t wait for it to arrive wooo
Thanks for the video.
I'm grateful for Poron switch pads, the tempest tape mod, and FR4 plates.
you had a lot of fun with this one didn’t you 😂 all those variations haha…but I loved it 💙 great job!!
The stabs sound so good! Everything sounds good after you modded!
tysm!
love the vids, very relaxing
Wow a Q1! I really wanted this board as well! Videos are looking good! Keep up the great work!
thanks!
CUTEST BUILD OMFG, LUV UR VIDS 💓💖💞
glad
I love the Q1 so much
Love it! I had the Q1 but sold it now I have WindX65 and love it ;)
ahhh your're my favorite keyboard youtube channel, this was so relaxing and chill to watch! And the keyboard sounds amazing as always!!❤ Do you think you'll ever do a video about your current collection of keyboards, switches, keycaps, etc. and/or your favorite keyboard of the ones you own? I'd love to watch it if you did! :3
thank you so much! some ppl asked the same in my QnA post, so this is definitely on my list! it's just every time i indented to film it, i realize that more keyboards are still on their way, so might as well wait for them to include them in my collection video as well, until no more keebs are coming anytime soon 🙃 i'm still waiting for 2 keebs probably 😅
@@ricecloud yay I'm excited to see it! Ngl, that's a pretty good problem to have lol 😂
rice cloud!
I bought the same keyboard and followed along your mod guide with a few adjustments of my own. Thank you so much for providing the best (and cutest) in depth review on this board that I could find. I’m enjoying this keyboard just as much as you are, even amongst my many keyboards I’ve built. Keep creating dope content 💯
oh thank you so much! makes me happy that my video was helpful! I highly recommend to check out keybored's channel as well. He doesn't really show that much of detailed step by step modding, but explains why he use a certain mod, or what it does, which i find very informative :)
@@ricecloud thanks for the rec, I’m familiar with Keybored as well as other UA-camrs. I tend to watch every video ever made on a product I’m interested before buying it haha. Still found myself coming back to this one though! The build is complete and I’m loving it even more.

This is a very nice vid. Gonna get a white q1 for myself now :)
I love your videos!!! Gave me so much ideas. I'm a fan! ♡
tysm! Glad you enjoy them!
9:54 I absolutely love how this one sounds like popping popcorn! :)
Great video! Love how it turned out!
thanks!
Aaaaaa yes q1 supremacyy!!! >:} im planning to get the mint green one SO CUTEEEE
that keycap is smooth like butter
6:35 ooh that’s a great transition I liked that 😌
Your keyboard sounds enjoy, thoccy and nice!
When I save up enough money I'm going to get this keyboard. Hopefully by the time I get it they have the phantom reds or browns in stock because all they have at the minute is the blues in the shell white, although I could go with another colour but idk yet. Thanks for helping me know what I should and probably will do to this keyboard if I get it :)
this board looks really nice! i hope its in my budget range though, haha
Really liked this video. Looking forward to binge your content.
Thank you for making such beautiful videos as you
aww ;-;
THE THOCK IS IMMACULATE
Actually best so far…
How do you produce such high quality videos? Everything is so nice and clean! Wonderful mods and review to. A sub from me!
I like the notion pro red combo the most
Been thinking about doing my first keyboard build, been looking at this Q1 as it seems decently priced and well reviewed. Def sounds nice...and relaxing. Hmm.. to go down the rabbit hole.
dont do it
love your videos 😭 I'm torn between this one, the mini cat, or getting a build my own kit as my next impulse buy hahaha but the q1 is at the top I think
if you like to mod the keyboard, then i would recommend the q1! you could ask keychron if they going to offer the white knob version as barebone kit to save some money (the stock keycaps are not that great..). but it might still cost 150usd, so the mini cat is the better choice if you are on a tight budget.
I like keyboards and typing. I'm still not into mechanical keyboards, but your videos makes me wanna start to try as soon as possible =) great contents, great quality and so relaxing at the same time. You're a bless
thank you so much ;-;
@@ricecloud Thanks to you =)
U should have one, right now i'm satisfied with my kbd67 lite lol
Hey, thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and are interested in trying mechanical keyboards. They can definitely enhance your typing experience. If you're looking to optimize your desktop setup, I highly recommend the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact and powerful tool for keeping your desk, car, and other spaces clean. The Key Features, like its vacuuming and blowing capabilities, make it a versatile and efficient choice. Plus, it's reasonably priced compared to other brands. Give it a try, and happy tech exploring!
Loved the vid!! I am considering getting this as my first mechanical keeb (and get into modifications later on), but as an ISO user I'm a bit intimidated about the switch to ANSI (which is kinda unavoidable for most builds haha). I saw keychron offers the non-assembled ISO version of this model, but not in white ಥ_ಥ but the look with the notion keycaps is so adorable though, I'm reeeally tempted to give it a try!!
that's a shame :c i saw some of people spray painted theirs white, maybe that could be an option?
@@ricecloud oohhh thank you!! that's actually a very neat idea that totally slipped my mind! I'll keep it in mind for the future if I find a cute ISO keeb for full customization 👀✨ (though for now the fully-assembled Q1 is still very tempting to me, because I'd have the peace of mind of getting into modifications later at my own pace- I read very favorable opinions of ISO users getting quickly used to ANSI and I became more hopeful about it haha ^^) so much to learn!!
Do not understand any of the lingo or terms but I do love this
i am brazilian and this in real is very expensive and i will take a long time to buy it. I love your videos.
Awesome video.
the stabs sounding mushy or stuck is a result of the holee mod, since the tapes make it harder for the stab stems to move around. The best is to stop holee modding altogether, and try wire balancing instead.
thats what i did
if you listen to both sound tests, stock and modded, then you can clearly hear that the stabs sounded like that even before the mods. so holee mod has nothing to do with that. also, the spacebar and enter key are both fine with the holee mod.
@@ricecloud holee = more mush less tick
i dont do holee, i already have no tick
@@anumnum2012 i don't think that you can generalise that statement. It depends on the stems. Besides in this case it still has nothing to do with the mod. However your right that holee mod is not necessary to get rid of ticking, but it might be easier for beginners than wire balancing.
@@ricecloud i do agree to your point that it all depends on the housing and stem design and material. However, i do also agree with the generalization that holee mod WITH BANDAID = more mush less ticks. If you however use a thinner material, like teflon strips, it reduces the mush, but then whats the point anyway since it reduce the effectiveness of the holee mod.
I dint know they have white. Looks good!
clean captions!
only i can comment that
:0
hey im gonna get a bak60 with matcha lattes(factory lubed ofc the factory lube amazing) and some epbt keycaps
Edit: Grabbed a Q1 in White!!! Thx for the discount code rice cloud!
Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a Q2, you make the Q1 sound like a an absolute dream... So conflicted on what to get!
Really love the aesthetic and relaxing videos!
thank you! but i'm sure the Q2 will sound good as well! however there is no white color option yet :D
on god theyre so nice
Yey! You finally entered in the heavy(also expensive, lol)keyboards. I've been waiting for this moment^_^
Btw, since you have many keyboards, what do you usually use on daily basis?
i switch keyboards quite often, but i tend to use the kbd67 lite, ikki pxc and keychron q1 the most i would say. i think the q1 is my fav right now. what keeb are you using? :3
@@ricecloud
I only have one keyboard and it's Redragon Fizz. It's good for the prize. I don't have plans for upgrading one, but I'm fine with that^_^
@@Samantha-vlly i see! did you mod it or using it stock? even though you don't think of upgrading.. do you have a dream keyboard?
I usually just watch these to soothe my nerves while I lowkey shop for an eventual new living room keyboard, and I kinda just tend to enjoy the sounds pretty equally...
...then I heard that last configuration, the big loud thonky friends. That was an expensive 20 seconds of video. >_>;
i'm so sorry >//
december 2022 the qk75 is very close in price. will likely grab the qk75 instead. already have a q2 and pretty happy with it with just tape mod and pe foam, case foam removed, additional force break, and north poles and gmk caps
qk75 is group buy tho and that was a big nono for me
2:50 Modding Part!
hoping keychron releases those white keycaps soon i cant seem to find any like those for my q2
omg im new to keyboarding and i found this modding vid to make my first q1 custom keyboard build and i was wondering why the green "switches" on the barebones version werent springing up after being pressed down and i realized that they arent switches , they are stabs and the switch goes in the middle lmao. Thx for the guide
I just received my q1 same as yours (white with knob) and I had silicon pads on the bottom of the case as well so force break mod was not needed! I was very happy to see this
Oh really?! That's quite interesting, i wonder why they are different. but good to know!
@@ricecloud the v2s come with them, which is weird because i thought yours was also the v2 since it came with the knob
@@ricecloud Here is why: Keychron Q1 knob version White Shell is not exactly the same build as Version 2. You can check the main differences: version 2 has steel plate, whereas yours probably has aluminum plate; v2 has silicone gasket, yours doesn’t; v2 has a different chip: QMK toolbox -> DFU -> tell chip type from there. Lastly, are you sure your keycaps are PBT not ABS? I know this because I have the white knob one and a grey v2, and I noticed that their weights are different.
@@siwen3333 it cant be, rice cloud has the V2 version.
The setup at 9:13 is so dreamy. It would make an amazing asmr typing video!
I'm grateful for my kiddos
You're right! i Still can't decide which keyboard, keycaps and switches to use for the asmr video ;-;
i'm grateful to have a job!
nice
ohh my god im gonna come
🤨🤨🤨🤨
how do you get that spacebar to sound so good
So calming! Thank you. ⭐⭐ What is the design name of the fire you have on your DIVOOM? It's so cute!⭐⭐
it's called cozy campfire 🔥
@@ricecloud Thank you!
this video put me to sleep! i'm very grateful for my family, however generic that may be
Hi
Nice video. Where did you find a white q1 case?
hi rice cloud! how’s the flex with just one sheet of case foam? i’ve been planning on getting my own q1 soon and was curious if there’s still room for the pcb to move downwards with just one sheet of the case foam. amazing video as always! 🤍
hi there, i think the sheet needs to be very thin to that point where it won't do anything.. i recommend to use polyfill, i saw ppl using it and it seems to work well, without stiffen the board. :)
Hey, thanks for this vid, really informative!
I was wondering:
When you wrote "(modded) Tape" that means that this is the force break mod + that masking tape you put on the bottom of the pcb.
This is without the clear tape you put on the top of the PCB or any of the stock foam they include?
I'm not quite sure because for the last configuration you specifically put the plate & case foam as extra items there. Sorry if I didn't quite understand, I'm not too familiar with all the modding yet :c
yes, exactly! the config with just tape is with tape only (under the pcb + force break mod) nothing else!
@@ricecloud is it also without case foam?
How much does the tape in the stabilizers make a difference in sound? I have the Keychron Q1 Pro as well
damn that spacebar really sounds awful, even modded, I can really understand your frustration. I can totally relate with this, I redid my stabliziers on the V1 3 times, still can't get it to sound good. Even if there is no rattle it sounds really hollow, I think it's because of the write, it sounds really loud. Really nice video though!
What do you think of the Keychron Q1 Pro Wireless ?
they gotta bring back the barebones knob in white man
Is it worth the $210 Pricetag if you aren't going to Mod it? Was looking to maybe tape mod it since there isn't alot of space inside the case.
Do you recommend taking the case foam out for more flex?
yes
May l ask where the kitty plush is from? It's adorable!
i bought it in china and couldn't find it online unfortunately, i'm sorry!
what are the specs for the sound test at 8:38? just wondering as it says xda bubble keycaps but we can see the cherry notion ones so i think the specs for this sound test got mixed with the next one, just interested to know if there are different switches or config on this sound test! this is such a lovely relaxing and thorough video though 🥰
ack also i rly want to try some akko lavenders as i’ve never tried tactile before and it might help my typing accuracy as im a transcriber and its super needed, but they are so much louder and i like my board as quiet as i can 😅
your right, they got mixed up ;-; thanks for pointing that out. So the keycaps are notions as you already mentioned and i used gateron pro red switches.
the purple lavenders are indeed quite loud, but there are also silent tactile switches out there :)
@@ricecloud true! i should try and find some 🥰 thank you and pls don’t worry abt the info in the vid it is still perfect like all ur videos 💕
Brand new to Keyb world..does the Q1 come with the back light LED? Also how do I get the exact cord set up you have to plug in to my new imac?
So awesome if you could help!
hi there, the Q1 has per-key rgb lights. if you are talking about the pink coiled cable, you can find the link in the description
How thick is that pe foam you are using?
wow this is a late comment but IS THIS VERSION 1 OR 2 OF THE Q1 ?
RGB without shine through key caps in my opinion is just useless?
Hey ya! I have just got the Q1 and noticed a little issue with the knob. First of all I have to turn it anti-clockwise to rise the volume?! Is
that a Keychron thing? Also, the volume doesn‘t move from 20 to 30 for example, but instead it‘s 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 24, 23, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,… Has somebody else experienced this?
Hey, I recently came across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it seems like a great tool for cleaning and maintenance. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your desktop, car, and more spotless. The dual-function design and versatile accessories make it even more useful for various tasks. Definitely worth considering!
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I can definitely recommend the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for cleaning and maintenance. Its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, along with the versatile accessories, make it a great tool for various tasks. Plus, the Key Features you mentioned, like the powerful blowing for keyboard cleaning and efficient storage, are really impressive. It seems like a reliable and useful tool to have in your tech arsenal! Happy cleaning!
Hi, i want to do the polyfill and tape mod on my Q1 V2 w/knob, but if i do just the polyfill mod, could it shock the pcb for the static electricity from the polyfill?
hi there, i couldn't find any information about that after a quick search on google. maybe it is saver to use at least one layer of tape underneath the pcb.
creamy
Is this version 1 or 2?
Your asmr is really exceptional, but next time could you maybe make the music at the start a bit more quite? This not just you but a lot of people do it and I feel it would be better with lower music.
Just at the start? You mean as for the unboxing part or just the very beginning (fading in music)?
What's the polling rate?
How thick is your pe foam !
Fantastically relaxing and enjoying shot, pressing F for respect 🫡
Rice cloud! Can I know this white Q1 is V1 or V2 version? 😊
it is suppose to be v2 but i heard that v2 has silicon pad for the force break mod on the upper and lower case, so i'm actually not sure anymore ;-;
@@ricecloud Thank you very much! Love your video and already subscribed. 😊
how can I use the discount code?
3ildcat?
Might be to late of a comment for you to even see it but how did you get a white version I am only able to find the black blue and grey option praying it’s not America exclusive thing ( super clean board btw)
i've visited keychrons product page and it seems like they offer the white shell color only as fully assembled knob version
@@ricecloud cool thx for the help il have a look
do i have to poke holes for the pe foam mod or will pushing in the switches be enough?
i never pre poked holes, however sometimes i did bend a few pins, but this is an easy fix
@@ricecloud thank you for the reply!
I might be a Psychopath .. cuz I like that Anvil sound .... LMAO!! x'D
omg im eraly too
who cares
@@idontwantonamethischannel bro i dont give af
U know why the stabs feel as if they're stuck? It's bc of the holee mod. The stab bars have less room for free play bc of that thin strip of tape. I did the holee mod back then on my kb and had to undo it 😮💨
yep, it is either a hit or miss therefore i recommend to test it on one first before modding all of them
petition to bring back the old pfp it was so creative 🤕
are you referring to old cloud illustration?
Hi! What did you use to record your sound test? Thanks!
hi, using the fifine t669 with boom arm and shook mount
@@ricecloud Thanks! Great video btw.
Do you still have the rgb on after the moddings?
i usually don't use rgb, but they still work after the modding if that's what you meant.
did u decide to join the second qk65 gb??
yes, i joined r2 :)
AM I EARLY!?
who cares
why being rude?
Hi, so eventually you used both plate foam + PE foam?
Hi, yes!
@@ricecloud thanks! i have one coming and i’m excited. can share the order? pcb > plate foam > pe foam > plate?
@@liionelbooon Oh that's nice! It's pcb > pe foam > plate foam > plate
Not sure if you are aware of it but some people face issues with certain pe foam, which cause the pcb not working anymore. I don't know which type of pe foam is safe unfortunately. through i should mention that, just in case.
@@ricecloud oh yes i know! it has to be anti static! thanks for sharing. can’t wait!
ayo, where you buy pe foam? 🥺
i was lucky and had some left from a packaging and i don't think i ever have to buy it since i still have so much left, so idk :c
