The only based review of snap tap/SOCD on a keyboard. No it's not gonna make you an MLG pro. There are no get rich quick schemes. You gotta put in the work. Thanks for this!
The price of this vs the wooting 80he is actually much more reasonable considering wooting charges an extra 100 bucks usd for the metal case. Also, this is wireless. If you’re strictly gaming and don’t mind being wired 100%, you get the “benefits” of wootings 8k pulling though. Keychron is definitely a better “all-rounder” for the price though imo.
I was looking at getting this over the wooting as well due to the 80 he being £100 more and unavailable in UK till March. Surely the wooting is not that much better
Excellent video, mate! I've had a Q1 HE for about a month. It's become my endgame keyboard for work, games, and everything else on my computers. Adding 2.4GHz was long overdue and works so much better than BT. Another great thing about this board is its build quality. It's easily the heaviest, most solid keyboard I've ever owned. It'd be a helluva bludgeoning weapon if you run out of ammo during the zombie apocalypse.
These things are crazy heavy, and I love it. You should pick up my full size Q6. I had to weigh it on one of my work scales- 4.7 lbs. It doesn't move around on my desk much, and that's a welcome change over what I'd been using.
My fav keyboard is my 3 year old Keychron Q5 Max. I've ordered the new Keychron K2 HE on Kickstarter. Can't wait :) Shout out to my second fav board the Nuphy Halo 75. Creamy smooth
Some competition for the Wooting dominance is a good thing. I love my 60he, but I welcome more options. I personally don't care about the boutique aesthetics as much as others, but there are slight refinements that Wooting need to implement, namely key wobble.
@@Rodrigo_A1 that was actually crazy on wootings part. keychron perfectly cnc machines their cases and wooting decides to sell some cheaply cast case for 120 bucks without even a pcb in there. for 30 bucks more you get a better made keychron barebone that just needs switches and keycaps to go.
As a non HE owner of the same keychron q1 (v2) board (same except for internals obviously) this will probably be my next end game upgrade as I love mine. I just wish mine was hall effect too :).
I’m in the same position, I love my q1v2 and have been thinking about this as my next build. I have no idea if the upgrade in switches will even be noticeable but I’ve been thinking about a second build anyways
Currently planning on upgrading my peripherals, while I decided on what mouse to get I'm stuck on what keyboard to get. It's either this (or the bigger Q5) or Wooting 80HE. I see everyone is saying Wooting has better performance, at least in raw performance, but like you said Keychron looks more great to use. And I having numpads for work/school work is a plus.
Nice i'm early, so i have some questions before there is too many comment : Will you try the new beta update for Wooting keyboards (SOCD) ? I'm curious about your opinion (It is cheating or not ? On which game it makes the most significant difference ?).
For sure, i'll give it a shot to see just how impactful it really is. Hard to give a firm opinion without testing it first, but my initial instinct is that I don't like how strong it can be and that it could actually create a meaningful divide between players than have a capable keyboard and those who do not. I think optimum's examples of CS (counter-strafing) and Overwatch (instant acceleration)are solid examples and be extrapolated out to other games with similar mechanics.
@@StruthGaming Thank's for the fast reply. Can't wait to see your opinion after the test. Already saw optimum tech about the Razer SOCD and it looked quite insane but i hope he will do an updated video about the Wooting for every SOCD settings in different games (also i hope you will also do it ;) )
Imma let y’all know that I upgraded from a rinkydink $50 keyboard to this. The following are some notes to be had: -I absolutely needed a palm rest with how I rested my hand and with the board being tall for me. I would accidentally hit space way too many times. -the web based software is annoying because I switch between profiles pretty frequently. Having to keep a browser open feels a lil tedious - All in all it feels really nice to use and will be my main use board for many years to come.
Welcome to the club (in advance). With 8K Hz polling rate and amazing software / features update for every Wooting keyboards (look at the 7 years old Wooting One). I think Endgame Keyboard is the correct term to use (at least for the next ten years :D).
8k polling is pretty much overkill for casual. The data that is sent to the PC is eight times more faster than 1k polling which mean lower latency and faster sensor information. You probably don't need it to be good; the 60he is still a solid option but most HE keyboard are embracing the high polling rate. There is a video from Optimum tech about polling rate.
@@ipohertroyanov464 Anyway the Caps Lock can be rebinded to FN and nearby keys can become HOME, END, arrow cluster easy. It allows them to be used with one hand, holding the mouse in the other.

I've been needing a keyboard update for some time now... Still using my Razor Deathstalker (1st edition) from eons ago... the only thing that stops me changing to one of these so far is that they all appear to be 65-80% keyboards... I love my NumPads, and use it frequently while doing general stuff... are there actually any Hall-effect keyboards with NumPads? 🤔
On Wootings you can emulate gamepad analog controls on some keys, and keep the keyboard functionality if the game supports it. Does the Keychron / software support this too?
How do you reckon the K2 HE will compare to this? I love the look of the white special edition... But i kinda want what would be my "endgame" KB, so trying to keep my options open.
Been trying to compare the two myself. The K series is the default series, while the Q is the higher quality line of keyboards. More expensive, but made with higher quality materials such as a metal case rather than plastic on the k-series. The flipside of that is that the Q1 HE is ~$350 AUD vs ~$200 AUD for the K2 HE
@jackdixon6681 yeah, I've done some more looking into it and have had a reply from Keychron on my comment asking if there's much of a difference between the Q1 HE and K2 HE: "Hello Luke, here are the main differences. 1. Design: (K2 HE has a compact 75% layout, Q1 HE has a 75% layout with a knob) 2. Material: (K2 HE is made of plastic, aluminum, and wood; Q1 HE is made of full aluminum) 3. Mount Structure: (K2 HE is tray mount, Q1 HE is gasket mount) 4. Acoustic Foam: (K2 HE: EVA foam, EPDM foam, bottom case PET film, silicone pad; Q1 HE: sound-absorbing foam, latex bottom pad, bottom case acoustic foam, bottom case PET film) Thank you!"
The whole video is a comparison between the 75% keychron and the Wooting 60% keyboard. Then you're doing a price comparison between the keychron and the yet to be released Wooting 80HE... 😅
Because it is not fair to compare a smaller keyboard to a larger keyboard when it comes to price. Sure you can say Wooting 60He will win price-wise, but you will also quite literally get less keyboard. Comparing it with a keyboard that has a lower size difference % makes the comparison more accurate, although you are right in that it is based on estimates of what the price will be.
@@TheKeule33i live in the UK and i just bought a keychron q1 he and upon reading the reviews on trustpilot afterwards i may be regretting it. will everything be okay?
@@Donni_10 Use Caps lock for switching layer, then you’ll access those keys with 1 hand just on other layer. WASD can become arrows while holding MO(3) Caps lock, etc. Now you can.
which do you think is better to buy as a long term investment? i know wooting still update their 7+ year old keyboard and i would likely use the next keyboard i buy for atleast 4 years, however this keychron seems to have many of the features in terms of quality, which i am looking for
Keychron also have solid update support for QMK VIA and HE switches. Keychron offers more elegant build. Wooting has a bit of an edge in gaming features, but relying on keyboard advantages is so toxic. Wooting is slow to scale the manufacturing while Keychron is more available. Wooting doesn't offer wireless that Keychron usually does afaik.
as someone who has been daily driving a Q1 HE for about 3-4 months, it is good but nowhere near as fast and reliable as my 60HE. Its slower and more inconsistent with inputs, but its still a good all round kb.
No offense, dude, but if you aren't "dedicated" enough to even try new switches, I don't think we should be taking your recommendations on two hundred dollar gaming keyboards... Sorry not sorry.
