Keychron's Q1 Is the Perfect Introduction to Mechanical Keyboard Mods
You don't have to build this keyboard yourself, which makes it wonderful for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Everything! (I know that’s a cop out) ; Heft and aesthetics are awesome ; No Bluetooth, no batteries, instant response and great typing experience ; Worth every penny!
You’ll definitely want a palm rest as it does sit up off the desk a bit

- Top plate scratches easily when swapping switches ; - Louder than expected ; - Heavy
The Keychron Q1 brings premium keyboard enthusiast features, like a gasket-mounted design and open-source software, at an attainable price, setting a high bar.
