Meet the Keychron Q1 HE, a groundbreaking 75% layout wireless QMK custom keyboard. This innovative device is the first of its kind to feature Hall Effect Gateron 2.0 magnetic switches. These switches are a game-changer, offering adjustable actuation points, dynamic rapid triggering, and faster feedback. This means gamers and typists alike can enjoy a tailored experience that enhances performance and comfort.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Design
The Q1 HE isn’t just about its unique switches. It boasts a 2.4G connection mode with a 1000Hz polling rate, ensuring a lightning-fast response for gaming. Additionally, it supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing seamless multitasking across multiple devices. The keyboard’s all-aluminum body, double-gasket design, and PBT keycaps add to its premium feel and durability.
Customization at Your Fingertips
Customization is a key feature of the Q1 HE. Users can choose their preferred keycaps, switches, and accessories. The keyboard’s hot-swappable sockets support both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches, allowing for easy switch replacements without soldering. The Keychron web app further enhances customization, enabling users to remap keys, adjust actuation points, and create personalized macros and key combinations.
Enhanced Typing Experience
The Q1 HE features OSA Profile Double-shot PBT keycaps, which combine the height of the OEM profile with an SA-like shape. This design, along with the keycaps’ oil resistance and durability, ensures a comfortable and long-lasting typing experience. The keyboard’s south-facing RGB LED lights are designed to illuminate the keyboard effectively without interfering with alternative keycaps.
