It’s an unbeatable combination, and while it isn’t a “budget” keyboard, the newly improved Q1 Pro is certainly the best bang for the buck we’ve seen - and since wireless connectivity is so handy to have, it easily unseats its predecessor to become our favorite keyboard overall. They Q1 Pro can still work wirelessly if you plug it in, or you can switch over to a wired connection.

We got a full week of workdays with the backlighting turned down low, which is competitive with most of the quality keyboards we tested, and means in practical use you’re unlikely to run into problems. Making massive aluminum cases like this wireless has been a challenge for manufacturers, and a little plastic here and there adds transparency.īattery life is solid - Keychron claims 300 hours without backlighting, 90 with the LEDs on.

Most evident is the addition of a wireless/wired switch on the rear panel), plus you’ll find a little plastic window in the rear of the case (that’s where the BT antenna is). You’ll notice a few minor changes from the rest of the Q-series.

And like the prior Q1, the keyboard is so well damped that you won’t annoy your family and colleagues even if you prefer clicky switches.Īround the back of the Keychron Q1 Pro you'll find a new plastic window under this cutout in the massive aluminum shell is the new Bluetooth antenna.

It’s an unbeatable combination.Īs with its predecessors, the Keychron Q1 Pro is built around a weighty anodized aluminum housing, along with a gasket-mounted switch plate (neoprene pads isolate the plate from the housing itself in this Q1 Pro’s case the plate itself is plastic rather than metal as in the earlier model) and smooth, noiseless screw-in stabilizers make the Q-series keyboards not just luxurious-feeling and sure to stay put on your desk but also significantly quieter than any other Cherry MX-compatible mechanical keyboard we tried. The Q1 Pro, the latest iteration on the Keychron Q-series platform, ups the ante on the already great Q1 - our longstanding top recommendation for mechanical keyboards - keeping the sturdy build, quality switches and keycaps and QMK customizability, sacrificing nothing, and making the whole thing wireless. In fact, after trying more than 50 keyboards, the 75%-layout Q1 was the one we kept returning to - it was simply the most pleasant to use in every respect. Keychrons’s Q-series keyboards are so comfortable and quiet to type on, so easy to configure to taste and so solidly built that unless you’re an enthusiast who is after something specific from a custom build, we really don’t see any reason to spend more on a mechanical keyboard. We found a whole bunch of great models, so regardless of your typing style, we’ve picked out the best mechanical keyboard for you.Ī note: Manufacturers offer keyboards in a wide variety of layouts (which we’ll get into below), but where multiple layouts were available we focused on 75% keyboards - the layout you’re familiar with from laptop computers. We spent the last year of workdays typing, navigating and otherwise putting 50 (yes, it’s too many, we know) popular and not-so-popular mechanical keyboards through their paces (we also wrote this very article using the relevant products under review).

Mechanical keyboards - in which every key uses an individual physical switch to send information to your computer, rather than activating a contact on a membrane as in a modern laptop keyboard - have been growing in popularity as gamers, developers, writers and a growing number of enthusiasts have pushed back on the thinner-is-better aesthetic of modern computer design, looking to the past for a typing experience that’s bigger, louder and easier on the fingers.
