Keychron - Q1HE 75% Custom Wireless RGB Mechanical Keyboard with Progrmmable QMK/VIA Hot-Swappable Magnetic Switch - Black

So, I picked up the Keychron Q1HE recently, and I’ve gotta say, it’s a solid game-changer – not just for gaming but for work too. Honestly, I mostly bought it because I wanted a keyboard that could handle some casual gaming and all the typing I do at my 9-to-5, and this one totally delivers on both. First impressions: this thing is a TANK. It’s got that premium, all-metal body that makes it feel way more high-end than most office keyboards. There’s a heft to it that I really like, especially when I’m typing all day. The keys have this satisfying clack (not obnoxious, just nice), and the customizable RGB lighting is just the cherry on top. I didn’t think I’d care about the lighting for work, but it actually keeps things fun during those long email sessions. Plus, you can keep it subtle with a warm glow or go full RGB mode if you need a little end-of-day motivation. One feature I didn’t expect to love as much is the gasket mount. It gives this soft, almost cushiony typing experience that’s somehow soothing? Like, I find myself typing faster just because it’s so comfortable, and if you’re someone who’s typing reports, emails, or even code, this is a serious plus. I also appreciate that the switches are hot-swappable, so if I ever want to experiment with a different feel, it’s easy to swap them out. Final thoughts: it's absolutely worth the price point; if you’re looking for a keyboard that brings some fun to the office and is perfect for after-hours gaming, the Q1HE is worth it.

Just took this out of the box and WOW, is it ever smooth. I generally gravitate towards brown switches because they give good feedback but are still usable in an office setting without getting looks. With that said, these purple switches are a game-changer. After using HE switches, I don’t think I could go back. For setup, it comes with step-by-step instructions on how to connect, change the RGB color, and different hot keys. I have a MacBook and the easy toggle between Mac/PC is so convenient. Seamless out of box experience. I haven’t played around with the software yet, and honestly I don’t think I will even need to. I know that this would be a huge addition for gaming, but I think it’s perfect in its stock setup for everyday use. I’d recommend to honestly anyone from office use to competitive gaming.

I am not a keyboard fanatic and in fact had the same hyper x keyboard for years. I recently upgraded just because I felt like I wanted something better with socd and the like. Initially went with razers tkl v3 pro option and was severely disappointed in its cheap build and horrible feel. Went to this after seeing the design and the sound and wow. Just WOW. Best keyboard I have felt. If you are looking for something with magnetic switches, good quality, and full aluminum body, look no further this wins in build quality and does very good on performance.
