Wireless and Wired
An excellent solution for multitasking. You can connect the Q1 Pro with up to 3 devices wirelessly via its stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking across your laptop, phone, and tablet. Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows. A reliable USB Type-C wired connection is also available when you need it.
A Refined Piece Of Metal Art
The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q1 Pro.
Easy Assemble
We designed every component to be able to assemble easily so you can customize and adjust each component with ease to create your ultimate typing experience.
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 sound 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.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 chip (MCU) that is equipped with 128K Flash to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box on type-c wired mode (90 Hz on wireless mode), which makes latency non-existent for the competitive gamer.
KSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps
To further fine-tune your typing experience, we designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q1 Pro comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Programmable Knob
Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the aluminum rotary encoder allows you easily customize the knob to your desired key or macro commands like zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.
Program with QMK & Launcher.
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app.

Hot-swappable.
The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.
South-facing RGB LED Lights.
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.
Keychron K Pro Mechanical Switch
By optimizing the switch mold, the Q1 Pro switch wobbles less than the standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed K Pro switches will ensure the best fingertip smoothness. Not to mention the banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.
Typing Sound Test
PCB Stabilizers
No detail is too insignificant when it comes to your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as the space bar, shift, enter, and delete keys. You can even customize your favorite stabilizers on your own.
Looking for ISO Layout?
The Q1 Pro ISO collection comes with fully assembled keyboards with 🇬🇧UK, 🇩🇪German, 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇳🇴🇸🇪Nordic, 🇨🇭Swiss, 🇫🇷French, and 🇪🇸 Spanish layout, and the “Barebone ISO Knob" option is suitable for all ISO countries (e.g.: 🇮🇹Italy, 🇵🇹Portuguese, 🇭🇺Hungary, etc.) to build their keyboard with keycaps in their preferred languages and switches.

I really love this peace of quality workmanship! It’s my third keycron and this one is the best. The keys are tiny shaped what in the first place was inconvinient for me, but after three days the workflow was much better than ever before. The sound is incredible nice, absolutely like I prefer, but this is for sure individually. The heavy weight of this metal-keyboard let you feel the high quality. I love the caps in white /grey/red and love the red switches. Maybe I will check some bananas for several keys… with the software it is so easy to make my experience as unique as possible and also the backlight ist perfect. First I thought the keys could be better with transparent letters as on my k2, but it works all perfect for me as it comes out of the box… REALLY REALLY recommended !!!!
Waited more than 2 weeks for it, was shipped from China to Austria.
Looks and feels amazing. Coming from an Apple Magic Keyboard I am still getting used to the mechanical feeling but really enjoying it so far.
Recommended!
Excellent keyboard, I am very pleased with it!!
I am by no means an expert on keyboards nor do I want this to become a "hobby" for me. All I wanted was a quality keyboard for long work-related typing sessions.
I went with the fully assembled version with banana switches.
It's not like I have a huge comparative framework but I am very impressed by the build quality and the attention to detail. It works, looks and sounds great out of the box.
However, with a bit of extra time and effort the keyboard can be made to sounds truly amazing. I also bought the Acoustic Upgrade Kit, it alone makes the keyboard sound a bit deeper, but if you are willing to also add the tape mod and some padding to the spacebar you will not regret it. Keep in mind I am not really a "technical guy" but the keyboard is made with noobs like me in mind and was therefore really easy to take apart and put together again.
Is it cheap? No. But ask yourself how many hours a day you spend typing on your keyboard. If the anwser is a lot, then it's probably worth it for you.
I cannot be happier with my new keyboard!
