Keychron Q1 HE review

Keychron Q1 HE is the wireless magnetic pick for people who type as much as they play. Keychron lists a 75% ANSI layout with a knob, an aluminum gasket-mount body and Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Nebula switches, each read by its own TMR sensor. Rapid Trigger, adjustable actuation from 0.2 to 3.8 mm and Dynamic Keystrokes with four actions per key cover gaming, and QMK firmware with the Keychron Launcher web app handles remapping and macros on macOS, Windows and Linux. It connects over 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth to up to 3 devices at 1000 Hz, and the 4000 mAh battery is rated up to 100 hours. The trade-offs are weight, 1735 g assembled, and switch choice, since the board only accepts Gateron's double-rail magnetic switches. Keychron's US store listed the Fully Assembled version at $239.99. We compared documented features and published prices only.
