The Q1 is a fully customizable 75% layout, wired mechanical keyboard. It is designed with all the premium features, including QMK / VIA Support and Hot-Swappable Brown Switch.
- Hot-swappable: The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.
- Double-Gasket Design: Double Gasket Design is an industry innovative structure. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases. It significantly reduces the resonance between the metals, which in return, reduces the noise of the impacted metals. This Double-Gasket Structure allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and make the overall typing sound better.
- An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard: A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
- OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps: For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to that of the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
- South-facing RGB LED Lights: The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.

Highly customizable open source keyboard
Everything you want in a keyboard if youre trying to get into building/customizing keyboards. You can swap out anything, you can change the colors, configure the buttons, and use either mac/windows mapping. The case has a nice weight on it and if you wanted to, you can spray paint it any color. Very fun, very customizable, and very sturdy.

Too expensive but still high quality and nice
For what you are getting with this, there are plenty of cheaper options for almost the exact same thing, especially amongst keychron keyboards from the manufacturer website. That being said...this is a quality FULL metal body mechanical keyboard. It functions flawlessly, it sounds nice... if not a bit hollow and clacky but still ok, space bar could use more stabilization, its very clacky and a bit shaky. The weight of this is immense for a keyboard, it feels like you could use it as a shield if you needed. The typing experience is pleasant and the RGB lighting is very impressive and satisfying. I like the many options of lighting and ability to increase speeds, decrease color and change to completely white, etc. For the price, you should look elsewhere but if you really want this specific keyboard, you wont be disappointed, but you will overpay for it.

Great Keyboard with Some Issues.
Out of the box you can tell right away its a quality product with materials. The typing experience is smooth and I like the design of the keycaps. The RGB is also very nice and very customizable but I had to look up how to change hue, saturation, and brightness so wish they would include all the RGB shortcuts with the keyboard itself. The issues I had with it included the the 0 key having a visual printing issue and appearing smudged. The keycaps also sounded quite hollow and 'pingy' on every key but especially the space bar and left-shift. I would also like to mention my biggest possible issue that I encountered. I purchased Moon V2 linear switches to swap out the Gateron Brown switches but I noticed it took A LOT of force to remove the switches on some keys and others came out effortlessly. It was the same case to put the new switches in. It seemed like the keyboard had very tight tolerances so putting the new switches in required more force than I was comfortable than applying. However the issue with the switches may be user error on my part as this is my first time hot swapping the switches on a keyboard.
