Keychron Q1 Max Review

A luxury typing experience

★★★★☆
Key Features
• All-aluminium chassis The entirely metal chassis means the Keychron Q1 Max comes in at just over 1.7kg. If quality means weight to you, it’s certainly one to consider.
• Open-source and hot-swappable Fully programmable through QMK/VIA and entirely hot-swappable with most popular mechanical switches, it’s easy to tailor the Keychron Q1 Max to your taste. • Ultra-satisfying keystrokes Heavy dampening efforts, long travel, and chunky keys go together to create a supremely tactile typing experience.
Pros
✔   Heavy aluminum shell.

✔   Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless.

✔   Ultra-satisfying keystrokes
Cons
❌   Lighting won’t be for everyone.

❌   Barebones version is still expensive
Should you buy it?
You should buy if
You want a ‘board that simply feels fantastic
You shouldn't buy if
The Keychron Q1 Max is great out of the box, but can grow with your typing experience or customization interests and is built to last.
You’re a gamer with little need to type longform
Dedicated gaming keyboards can offer a tighter core experience at a slightly lower cost.
Final Thoughts
Josh Brown
The Keychron Q1 Max is a keyboard that provides a luxury typing experience, works perfectly out of the box, and offers everything you need to truly make it your own if you’re ready to tinker. It’s not the best gaming keyboard out there. The adjustable actuation of the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless is a good shout at this size and price range, with the Asus ROG Azoth offering a fun OLED gimmick.
