r/mkindia on Reddit: Keychron Q1 V2 review with seller feedback
May 23, 2024 -

First of all, huge thanks to u/chimera86o for selling the keyboard and switches to me. They were great, and no issues at all with the keeb. It's in perfect mint condition, and all accessories are intact. I highly recommend him for anything you might need.

Coming to the keyboard, here is my review after a month of use:

  • The keyboard is sturdy with great build quality

  • The switches are Akko cream yellow, and the keys have no rattle when attached.

  • I feel the stock foam is mediocre and very thin, making the sound a bit too high and hollow. Hence, I have personally modded the keeb. I did the tempest tape mod and the foam mod. I bought some art foam from here and cut one piece into the shape for the back. I also put 2 layers of medical tape on the back of the PCB. This reduced the high-pitched clacks of the keeb, and now has a medium poppy sound. Interested can see the sound test here.

  • One super fact about the keeb is that the dimensions of this keeb with the feet placement make it perfectly seat on top of my MacBook Air M1 without pressing any of my laptop's keys. That way, you can use this keeb connected to your laptop and have the laptop on your lap while working (My ways of working :P)

  • The keycaps I use are Grimmer Keycaps, which make the sound deeper. It's an XDA profile, which I recommend for "on-the-lap" use and gaming.

  • The knob has a bit too much bump per turn for my preference and is not as smooth as a Monsgeek M1 knob.

  • The modding process was easy, and opening the board was also pretty easy. No prying is needed.

Do let me know if there's any other feedback you would like based on the keeb. Once again, thanks to u/chimera86o for the main board and switches.

Keychron Q1 V2 review with seller feedback
I am so confused by Keychron's naming scheme now, is the q1 series the premium metal keybs or does V2 imply the opposite? I have the v1 max, with bt/2.4/wired, confused on the lineup. u/chimera86o More on reddit.com

Trying to decide between the Q1 V2 or Q1 Pro? (75%)
Prelubed keys have come a long way. Of course, there are still some bad options but most are pretty good now. Anybody who still frowns upon it either don't have enough experience or are too suborn to do anything but lube themselves. Especially if you are new to the scene, prelubed can be a huge difference. Any major or well reviewed brand will be great. The boards are so similar that you can't go wrong with either one. Of course, Q1v2 would be a cost savings if price is important. Otherwise, make note of all the differences and note what you care about. For instance, if you don't plan to use it wirelessly, spending $40 extra dollars for that feature might be a waste. While the switches and keycaps are different, those are the cheapest items for keyboards. You can buy what you like best online and save money. Personally, I'd say the decision is wireless or wired. If you need wireless, go with the Pro. If you plan to always use cable, go with Q1v2. More on reddit.com

My first mechanical keyboard (Keychron Q1 V2 SE). It sounds so good I want to type all day.
This is the Champaign Gold fully assembled edition. Keycaps and everything else is stock. Haven't gotten into modding it yet except I added 4 layers of tape to the space bar because it was super loud. More on reddit.com

Keychron Q1 Version 2 Review - The Linux Cast
October 3, 2022 - The build quality was horrible, it had connectivity problems, and the Bluetooth never worked. It was just really, really bad. But supposedly, Keychron has gotten better over the last few years as they started to appeal to the more custom mech crowd. So, I bought the Q1v2, and I received it this past week, so I thought I’d give it a small review.
