An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM Cortex-M4 chip (MCU) equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on 2.4 GHz and wired modes (90 Hz on Bluetooth mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

Double-Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the acoustic resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals.

Experience the next level of key sounds and comfort with our gasket mount design together with a flexible PC (Polycarbonate) plate. This design combination allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

OSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

To further fine-tune your typing experience, the Q1 Max ISO comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use on the TKL layout.

Very strong keyboard with bad VIA implementation

The keyboard itself is very good. The switches feel great, the keycaps are good and the build quality is exceptional. Only downside which makes using the keyboard a pain is the VIA compatibility. It is not automatically detected by VIA and I could only get to flash different key mappings with a lot of workarounds. Fixing this would yield in a 5 star review.

Solid build, But with Flaws

I recently purchased the Keychron Q1 Max, and while there are certainly positives, there are also some areas for improvement.

Firstly, the delivery took three weeks, which was longer than expected. As for the keyboard itself, it feels incredibly solid and high-quality. It has a substantial weight that gives it a premium feel, which I really appreciate.

The typing experience on this keyboard is incredible. Each keypress feels so satisfying; however I was extremely disappointed with the stabilizers on the larger keys. They feel subpar, and the backspace key in particular sounds terrible.

I also want to mention the knob, which allows for volume control by turning it and can mute the speakers when pressed. While the knob has a tactile resistance when pressed—giving feedback that it’s been activated—it often only registers the press if I push down quite firmly. This can be a bit frustrating, as it feels like it should respond more easily without needing such a strong press.

This isn’t something I would expect from a keyboard in this price range. Additionally, the shipping cost of over 20 euros feels too high given the already premium price of the keyboard.

Overall, I’m rating it 3 stars. The Keychron Q1 Max has great build quality and feels premium, but the issues with the stabilizers, the knob, the high shipping cost, and long delivery time hold it back.

Excellent keyboard

The keyboard is an absolute dream to type on
I love everything about it and I am very happy with my purchase
Just a little comment about the available colour options for DE ISO
I prefer the white shell colour option but I had to get the black since DE ISO only comes in black
It would be great to get different colour options in the future.
