I lost it when he put blue switches lol
Jk love the content
fr LOL
wow! i might get this keyboard with brown switches
Blue switch is not tactile, blue switch is clicky. Brown switches are tactile. Yellow and reds are linear.
They are technically tactile as they have a little bump that clicks when you press it.
Ive never seen so many reviews for one keyboard within hours of each other, Keychron taking over YouTube today lol
they probably just sent a bunch of free keyboards out for sponsorship/review
@K. Tanner Barfield how else r they gonna get the board for review before its being sold?
@bearIyy it wasn’t a knock against them or anything. just a statement of what likely caused so many reviews of this board to pop up on the same day.
That’s why they are out of stock now.
@K. Tanner Barfield do you know for gaming the best keyboards out there? is this one better overall than logitech g915 or corsair k70, steelseries Apex pro and so on?
it’s amazing how far Keychron has come. This board looks legit
if it would be wireless i probably would get it but for this price idk i prefere the LK67 or TM680… btw i dont get why everykeyboard has leds but no backlit keycaps… thats just distraction shouldnt the puprpose of the leds be to light up the letter on the keycap LOL
My thoughts exactly on all of those things. I have a wireless TM680 and I love it. I do wish it had a really nice aluminum case and maybe throw in gasket mount.
@GP im not so familiar with the mount typ differences but yeah a alu case def would be awesome
damn i just got my hot swappable k6. there really needs to be more mechanical mac keyboards. keychron is doing all the heavy lifting here
how is a keyboard mac specific ? Im confused
@Dédé LABINOUZE it comes with command, option, and mac function row. also there’s a switch that flips between mac and windows layout.
Great video. Are macros depended on VIA software or it is recorded into firmware?
they’re stored on the keyboard itself, all settings carried over if you plug it into new device, that’s how VIA work
nice bro, no soundtest
3:47 if you like a small tactile bump, go with the pewters or cotton candy switches, don’t say cherry MX brown or blue. (gateron are MX compatible and are referred to as the same name.) The market is very much not for the average consumer but for a keyboard enthusiast or hobbyist, so do not buy it because the features you most likely will find overkill, I mean, who would ever hot swap out for blue switches?!
I never got it straight as to which key switches are the hardest to push. I grew up pounding typewriters and I was fastest on the IBM Selectric. In fact, I worked for IBM repairing Selectrics at one time. I was fast because the keyboard gave the best physical feedback. I want a mechanical keyboard with the greatest resistance (hardest) to push but I can’t understand, for sure, which key switches will get me closest to the feel of a Selectric. Which (color?) switches give the most resistance to typing please?
Blue, imo
Your presentation was very nice in this video! However, as far as the product goes, I wouldn’t be the least interested in it! Not at all! I have absolutely NO intent on ordering one of those keyboards. Just not for me! Thanks anyway! Peace.
I can’t say why I liked the mx blues at one point. Not a clicky fan anymore.
it would be dope if there was a macro online for switching between speaker and headset because i couldnt find one. (for pc)
The q2 is indeed an awesome board. Just prefer the form of the q1 more 🙂 Good content 🙂
Can ou remove the knob on this board?
bro, i jjst bought it and i put the gateron black ink v2 in it with domiky keycaps in it and man oh man does this sounds good
I made the mistake of buying a Keychron K7. What I received was NOT wireless (no dongle included) and, when connected by USB cable, many keys did not work. When I asked Keychron for an RMA, they demanded that I send them a video proving that I had not falsified the results of their keyboard test. Keychron has ignored all my subsequent requests for an RMA and a refund.
There are many reputable companies making keyboards. Before buying anything from Keychron, think! Do you want to give your money to a company that treats its customers this way?
Clicky switches ftw. I swapped the gateron blues for Kailh box jades and I’ve never looked back.
