Keychron Q1 is a budget 75% hotswappable gasket mounted keyboard available for $150-170. I am hilariously late to reviewing this keyboard. This review was originally 20 minutes long, but jeez that's a long review video. People aren't going to sit through that, so I cut out all the modding parts, the cut parts can be found here: youtu.be/NZYVeRaZ7Vo
All the sound tests: youtu.be/xhWCfqae8kY
It's pretty good for what it is. I didn't like the silver at first, but it has grown onto me after a bit (though I definitely would need to change the keycaps...). Too bad though, I'm never really going to use it. Because it's not white.
Buy the Q1 keyboard here: keychron.com/products/keychron-q1?variant=39405020872793

01:31 Things relating to the looks of the board
02:49 How's the stock sound?
02:57 Stock sound test
03:14 The keyboard stock is...
04:01 Gateron Phantom switches
04:43 Modding info and switch choices
06:30 Modded sound test
06:44 How's the keyboard modded then?
09:21 PE foam sound test
10:03 (back to) How's the keyboard modded then?
10:18 Conclusion and stuff
I spent way more time than I should've on this review
