About this item This fits your . Make sure this fits by entering your model number. 82 Keys Full Aluminum Frame: The Q1 Knob Version is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard with 75% layout that push your typing experience to the top. With a solid full aluminum frame, the Q1 is designed for premium typing comfort and endless possibility. All-Around Customizable Keyboard: To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more. Hot-swappable Support: With the Gateron G Pro mechanical clicky blue switch providing unrivaled tactile responsiveness with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. You can also hot-swap the Q3 with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. The PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizer for “big keys” such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete are designed for less wobbliness. Innovative Double Gasket: This Double-Gasket Structure allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound. We added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. Double-shot PBT Keycaps: 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 PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

I can't believe you can get a keyboard of this quality for this price.The body, made entirely of CNC aluminum, is just a tank. It's super heavy (around 4.2 pounds) and feels SUPERB. It does not budge on my desk. The quality of the paint and overall CNC machining is brilliant.The typing quality is where the board shines. The v2 model of this board has an integrated force break mod so the incredibly bad pinging from the original Q1 is 95% gone. The switches (G pro reds) are prelubed from the factory and are super smooth and sound great. The same goes for the stabilizers. They're not perfect but they are infinitely better than any other gaming keyboard out there.Overall this is a fantastic keyboard and I cannot recommend it enough. For reference mine is using Monokei WoB cherry profile keycaps. The stock keycaps are nice, but I'm a cherry profile fan.I really like the keyboard, the layout is excellent, it's much better than the smaller ones without function keys and a too integrated cursor block, and it is more compact than a standard TKL layout. I have a smaller (Drop ALT) and a larger (Drop CTRL) and this one is from a layout perspective better. The Gateron red keys are silent and VERY smooth. They are much smoother than the Cherry Silent Red I'm using in the two other keyboard, but not quite as quiet. There is a certain amount of movement in the stems as well and they don't feel as solid as the Cherry switches.The keycaps are decent but slighly cheap. I was hoping for better. Some of the hollow sound is coming from the keycaps. I tried solving the problem with my Drop cap set (Matt3o MT3 Susuwatari), but the problem is, that the Keychron keyboard has a fraction of a milimeter less spacing between the keys. Some of the keycaps touch and create a slight scratching/binding against each other. The overall with of the keys (e.g. from Caps Lock to Enter) is 2 or 3 millimeters less than the Drop CTRL, which means, there is overall a bit less space per cap. While I do like the Drop keycaps better (and they are much higher quality), I switched back to the Keychron caps since there is less binding with them.Overall this is a great keyboard, I just wish it would fit other keycap sets better, since this is the biggest weakness of the keyboard.Soundwise the keyboard sounds fine, the one complaint I have is the spacebar which is much louder than the rest of the keys. Slightly annoying, but I guess I'll get used to it over time. The configuration software is decent, but clumsy to use and doesn't recognize the keyboard, so a download of a JSON file is in order to unblock that.I do like the knob for volume control, alhtough I do realize that it is just a gimmick, with no actual value over using keys.
