There have been many keyboards that have been branded as \u201cmodular\u201d in the past but the Q1 may be the most deserving of that title. On top of the standard switch and color options you see when ordering the board (which are already more than average), Keychron offers a vast range of accessories and add-ons that allow you to tweak the keyboard to your liking. No researching different websites to purchase parts from, comparing prices, or choosing brands, just Keychron\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keychron.com\/collections\/keychron-add-on\">accessory store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Keychron is basically saying \u201cDon\u2019t worry, we took care of it for you, purchase everything from us.\u201d It\u2019s convenient, but could easily be used as an excuse to make the base keyboard lackluster or overcharge for mediocre accessories. Fortunately, that\u2019s not the case here, and the Q1 delivers all the benefits of customization on top of a fantastic keyboard.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hulking_Beast\"><\/span>Hulking Beast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113786 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/72565ef8.jpg\" alt=\"Angled view of the Keychron Q1\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Eric Schoon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Eric Schoon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Q1 is a lot of things, but the main thing Keychron made sure of is that the base keyboard is one of the primary selling points.<\/p>\n<p>You have a lot to look forward to here; the body of the board is made out of anodized aluminum which is both durable and stylish. It\u2019s a heavy keyboard, weighing in at 1,600 grams without any keycaps or switches. It barely budges on my desk, there\u2019s practically zero flex while typing, and the heft makes the asking price feel a bit more justified.<\/p>\n<p>Layout-wise, the Q1 uses a modified version of the tenkeyless layout called 75%. There are a few less navigation keys compared to a TKL board, but besides that everything else is here in a compact and aesthetically pleasing manner. This layout has become very popular in the mechanical keyboard community for its unique look and compact nature, and the Q1 doesn\u2019t do anything to mess that up. There\u2019s even a space in the top right corner that a knob can be attached to for volume control (or whatever else you want to use a knob for).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113787 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/c59ea1d6.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of the Keychron Q1 knob\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Eric Schoon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Eric Schoon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you get the version without the knob, then you can either install another switch here or place a custom badge (ordered from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keychron.com\/collections\/keychron-add-on\">Keychron\u2019s accessory store<\/a>) to personalize your board further. Speaking of, the Q1 is available in a wide variety of colors whether you want something safe like the Carbon Black or bolder like the Navy Blue.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, the Q1 also comes pre-installed with some quality stabilizers for smoother typing, a dampening plate to make the keyboard a little bit quieter, full RGB lighting, and the choice of three different switches out of the box: Gateron Phantom Blue (Clicky), Red (Linear), or Brown (Tactile). My board came pre-installed with Blue switches, which sound and feel about how you would expect any \u201cBlue\u201d switch to feel regardless of brand. However, the dampening plate and stabilizers go a long way towards making the Q1 feel a step above most other pre-assembled boards.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Happy_Modding\"><\/span>Happy Modding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With customizability at the forefront of the Q1\u2019s marketing, it\u2019s not a surprise that it has hot-swapping. For the uninitiated, hot-swap keyboards have special sockets installed on their PCBs (the circuit board used inside all keyboards) that allow mechanical switches to be taken in and out without soldering.<\/p>\n<p>A normal mechanical keyboard\u2019s switches are soldered on, and even if you\u2019re building your own mechanical keyboard, soldering the switches is still a common practice. Hot-swapping is a more convenient alternative that\u2019s become popular with both casual and hardcore mechanical keyboard fans since it allows you to take out and install switches with relative ease.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113789 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/9e0029bc.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of mechanical switches on the Q1.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Eric Schoon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Eric Schoon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cRelative\u201d is the winning word there, though; while hot-swapping is without a doubt less time-consuming than de-soldering and soldering switches on a standard keyboard, it still takes some commitment. Switches are hard to pull out, and doing an entire keyboard\u2019s worth can easily take a couple of hours. The Q1 doesn\u2019t do anything to improve things\u2014it feels just like a hot-swappable keyboard you could\u2019ve bought five years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Not really a strike against the Q1; it\u2019s merely as good and as bad as every other hot-swap keyboard on the market. Fortunately, unlike most hot-swap keyboards, the customization doesn\u2019t stop there. While there may not be any special tech to make the Q1 more customizable, Keychron still has an ace up its sleeve to step ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>To put it simply, it\u2019s mainly because of how easy Keychron makes it to purchase the accessories you need to make the keyboard your own. This, on the surface, is a strange selling point\u2014I personally don\u2019t purchase products based on how much\u00a0<em>more\u00a0<\/em>money I can give the company after the fact\u2014but is still a legitimate advantage over Keychron\u2019s competitors.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113788 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/e64e295a.jpg\" alt=\"Keychron Q1 box with various accessories.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Eric Schoon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sampling of the accessories available for the Q1. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Eric Schoon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The mechanical keyboard market is large and confusing. Whether you\u2019re looking at keycaps, switches, or mods there are loads of different brands and hundreds of products. Keychron aims to fix this by having it all in one place, all sold and designed with the Q1 in mind.\u00a0There are switches of every type, keycaps in tons of colors, and stylish wrist pads made of wood and resin.<\/p>\n<p>Stuff like lube, coiled cables, and alternative stabilizers add the option to go even deeper and adjust the actual feel of the keyboard as well. The gasket-mounted design also helps with this\u2014if you want to disassemble the keyboard, all it takes is unscrewing a few screws at the back and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113791 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/f3ccdd27.jpg\" alt=\"Back-view of the Keychron Q1.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Eric Schoon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unscrew these screws on the back and the keyboard comes apart easily. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Eric Schoon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s an excellent selection for newcomers, while also being completely out of the way if you want to ignore it altogether or purchase parts from other retailers.

This has been the case for most of Keychron\u2019s boards, but the company did go further this time, explicitly recommending <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caniusevia.com\/\">VIA<\/a> as its program of choice and offering the necessary files to tailor the software to the Q1.<\/p>\n<p>Keychron offers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keychron.com\/blogs\/archived\/how-to-use-via-to-program-your-keyboard\">tutorials<\/a> and all the links you\u2019ll need to get things set up and the software works.\u00a0You can change the function of keys, alter RGB lighting, and program macros to your heart\u2019s content. Still, it doesn\u2019t offer the convenience you may be used to from other keyboard companies\u2019 software like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.razer.com%2Fsynapse-3\">Razer Synapse<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corsair.com\/us\/en\/icue\">Corsair iCUE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is disappointing considering that Keychron has repeatedly teased developing its own keyboard software for years; it seems like something the company has largely abandoned at this point. Again, VIA works fine, but for a keyboard focusing so much on physical customization, having the digital side of things be just as top-notch as its hardware would be the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_of_Pre-Built_Mechanical_Keyboards\"><\/span>The Best of Pre-Built Mechanical Keyboards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113790 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5cd97cee.jpg\" alt=\"Side-view of the Keychron Q1.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Eric Schoon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Eric Schoon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite some minor software fumbles, the Q1 is easily one of the best pre-built keyboards on the market.
