This is a great keyboard for an introduction to mechanical keyboards. Keychron makes solid boards at a good price compared to most enthusiast options. Other brands seem to be catching up with price to performance, but they are mostly restricted to terrible group buys or limited edition runs that sell out fast at ridiculous prices. The fact that Keychron's are available consistently through major retailers makes them worth a look for that alone.
I have tried other versions of their boards over time including the K and V series. Those are OK if you just want a cost effective option that is better than most standard boards, but to me, the Q series is where you really start to get a good high end keyboard experience. The feature set is great, the battery life is very good and the customization through software is easy to use. It's also a solid platform to experiment with mods and different switches and keycaps.
I am pretty typical in my tastes in that I like the deeper, marbly (thocky) sound profile when typing. As purchased this keyboard isn't really there out of the box. It feels heavy (in a good way) and you can tell the quality is solid, but it's more hollow and metal sounding to me. It doesn't have a bad sound though with the updates they have added to it (no pinging on mine), so if you like higher pitched sound then it might be good out of the box. If not, Keychron sells a custom foam kit for this board on their site that lets you modify the sound further as well as getting different plates. You can do similar mods by hand for cheaper without buying those, but they are a great option if you don't want to make modding your keyboard a hobby.
I like tactile switches and was pretty surprised by how much I like the Keychron Bananas mine came with. If you like a little feedback from your key presses they would be a great option in my opinion. I eventually discovered Gateron Baby Kangaroos that I like even better, but Bananas are definitely better than the browns for tactiles to me. I don't want to go on too much about modding, just want to say that you CAN mod this board a lot if you are getting into the hobby. If not, it's a great board all around if you don't care about sound. If you do, you might have to tweak it a little, so you might want to go in ready to do that. Also, the key profile is a Keychron custom profile that is shaped different and much taller than the Cherry profile most people are used to. You might love it, but I didn't care for it in the end. There are many decent Cherry MX profile keycaps here on Amazon for a decent price, so you might want to go into this purchase with that in mind as an added cost if you have never tried SA style keycaps before. If you hate them, that's NOT the board and they are easily replaceable with about an hours worth of work.
The wireless works great and the wired even better for responsiveness. The battery really lasts, and for the games I play, I have no problems with the Bluetooth responsiveness. I do think it's a touch slow for competitive gaming, but wireless is very good for anything else. They keyboard starts up very quickly from sleep and it has a function macro that lets you see the battery life without any need for external software.
Due to the potential need for modding (and so spending more money) and the fact that it doesn't have the 2.4Ghz wireless option that many competitors have, I wish I could give this 4.5 stars rather than 5. Still a great price for what you get, and I definitely recommend this board. It's not perfect, but it is very good. It was a real eye opener to what I was missing!

Product Description
Keychron Q1 Pro QMK/VIA Wireless Mechanical Keyboard
An excellent solution for multitasking. You can connect the Q1 Pro with up to 3 devices wirelessly via its stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking across your laptop, phone, and tablet. Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows. A reliable USB Type-C wired connection is also available when you need it.
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q1 Pro comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system. You can even configure different keymaps for both Mac and Windows devices.
Program Each Key and Macro with QMK/VIA
Simply connect the Q1 Pro to your device with a cable, import the Q1 Pro keymap JSON file into the VIA software, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on macOS, Windows, or Linux operating systems, e.g.: create a macro command of a screenshot on macOS. Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions.
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 chip (MCU) equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.
Hot-swappable
You can hot-swap every switch on the Q1 Pro with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. The pre-lubed Keychron K Pro mechanical switches come with an optimized mold with more precise positioning, and less wobbliness will improve your fingertip feel. The Keychron switch is durable enough and up to 50 million keystroke lifespan.
Rechargeable Battery
With a 4000 mAh built-in battery, the Q1 Pro offers up to 100 hours (at lowest brightness) steady and stable wireless typing performance even through its full metal body.
KSA PBT Keycaps & South-facing RGB
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the Q1 Pro.
The Q1 Pro comes with our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.
Double-Gasket Design
With a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, 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. Each keyboard component could be reassembled easily, so you can customize it the way you want. If there is any problem with the keyboard, it can be repaired by reassembling.

Best Gaming Keyboard
I have tried everything including the wooting 60HE because people told me about it. But, the thing about the wooting is that it has a cult following that pretty much lie in order to defend their favorite product. I've heard this is not better than the wooting and it is a lie. This is far better. The quality, wireless, the THOCK sound is superb and the software is easy to understand. My favorite thing about it is the weight, the sturdiness of it. I love the metal. Red switch is the smoothest ever. I bought one for my daughter and now I am going to get one for me and another for my wife. I'm gonna also try their mouse after trying this Q1. I am impressed! Looks awesome. She loved it
