How long will a Keychron Q1 Pro last before it become considered obsolete
...as long as PCB doesn't go bad? If you are gaming, I suppose you are going to be using wired connection. Don't leave keyboard under hot sun when not using. Some people use keyboards from 80s. More on reddit.com

Just received Q1 Pro

missing out on 2.4ghz wireless mainly. i think the foam is upgraded a bit. if you got it from amazon, maybe return it if that appeals to you. if you bought it from keychron, it has to be returned to china and keychron certainly isn't gonna pay for it so...

personally i haven't met a 2.4ghz dongle i haven't lost, i'm not a pc gamer and if i were i wouldn't be on wireless. no reason to run out and buy an otherwise identical keyboard to replace my q1 pro

After a year, still can't get used to my Q1 pro
The tall KSA keycaps may not be good for you. Try out some other keyboards in a store (don't buy, just play with floor models) and see if OEM or Cherry profile keycaps are more to your liking. Those are shorter, less steeped and less sculpted, so they may be more comfortable. It's also possible that the Brown switches are too light for you. Maybe purchase a switch tester from Amazon or some place and see if another kind of switch might be better for you. Heavier tactile or heavier linear, perhaps. If you like clicky switches, there are some good options are well, even better than old Blue-style switches. More on reddit.com

r/Keychron on Reddit: Is q1 pro worth for the first custom mechanical keyboard?
October 31, 2023 -

Hello all,

I am very new to mechanical keyboard. I have been using keychron k3 pro for few days (with brown swiss switch and everything else stock) and liked the feeling. I will be using a keyboard mainly for typing purposes only. I have been checking and came to a conclusion that I would like to buy/ build a first one using keychron q1 pro. I do appreciate connection via Bluetooth. I have been thinking between shell white and silver backbone for the base. Probably I would go with tactike switches...Other than that I do not have solid idea about switches and keycaps and other customizing accessories. I am based on a Nordic country and would need Iso Nordic format and do not have any local supliers where I could go and check. Everything have to order from either amazon or keychrons own shop. I would appreciate very much if one can suggest on some decent as well as reasonable switches and keycaps and other needed accessories.

I do appreciate nice and clean look however do not necessarily need heavy customization!

Thanks alot in advance. Cheers!!

I love my Q1 Pro. It definitely got me to go down the rabbit hole of the keyboard hobby. I didn't think I'd get into modding but then I did. It's so flexy and comfortable to type on I am based on a Nordic country and would need Iso Nordic format and do not have any local supliers where I could go and check. the hobby is mostly internet based for most people, if it makes you feel better. As far as where to order supplies like keycaps and switches, you could try candykeys or keygem. they ship from germany. I like PBTfans keycaps and most of their sets either have explicit Nord extension kits or international kits. Here's a good set: https://candykeys.com/product/pbtfans-spark-r2 . Of course you can also get the Q1 pro assembled with ISO nord keycaps pre-installed if you just want to get started https://www.keychron.com/collections/keychron-iso-jis-keyboard-collection/products/keychron-q1-pro-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection?variant=40441724534873 For switches I'd say you should decide if you want a linear or tactile first. Tactile has a bump you can feel as you press it and linear is completely smooth. usually gamers prefer linear and typists prefer tactile although linears are now more popular with typists as well. I like tactiles. A good place to start for a reasonable price is Akko Cream Yellow Pro (linear) or Akko Cream Blue Pro (tactile). In the US they are on amazon but I guess you'd have to look. As for other tactiles to look at, if you decide you want to spend a bit more, I'd look at either baby kangaroos or boba u4ts. I think it is safe to say those are the 2 most popular tactiles on the market right now. bobas are known for being very deep in pitch which people really like, baby kangaroos are known for having very smooth factory lubing and a more marble-y sound. both have a large tactile bump that gives a lot of feedback
