the v2 already has some fixes implemented against ping. it basically does not need mod any more.. the bottom is now lined with a dampening material like sticker, below the foam.
Why would anyone get the barebones? i mean even if you plan on using diffrent keycaps and switches. For 20bucks you get a full set of switches and keycaps thats a very good deal
Hey there! I see you commented with "{{3}}", and I totally agree! Keyboard tech is definitely something I'm passionate about. By the way, have you ever considered adding the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule to your desktop setup? It's a handy tool that combines powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your workspace clean. Plus, it's reasonably priced compared to other brands. I highly recommend it! 😄🔧
i disagree with his statement. "keep in mind you do have to lube the switches" while i absolutely agree that is greatly enhances sound and feel, it's not necessary. if you don't feel comfortable opening up the switch, you can use them stock or use pre-lubes switches
Thanks for the video. Question for you. I'm in the process of buying (my first) the fully assembled Keychron Q1 Pro (all black) with Knob. But, my question is about the table pad/mat you have. What is it, and where did you get it from? Any concerns about any fibers getting in your electronics? I don't think I needed much of what you covered in this review, but it might very well prove helpful in the future. Thanks again.
Hey, thanks for checking out the video. The desk mat I got is very cheap - from AliExpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003652984983.html I have the light light gray version. Not had any issues with fibres getting into electronics. The mat has started to bubble a bit in areas. But for the price, it's not too bad. I'm also planning a review of the Q1 Pro. Hope to release it soon!
Hey there! I've been using the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for a while now and I highly recommend it. It's perfect for keeping my desk and keyboard clean with its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities. Plus, it's portable and versatile. Definitely a great addition to any tech enthusiast's cleaning routine! 🚀
Great review! I was looking to upgrade my K2 with either the GMMK Pro or the Q1 V2 Knob. I was leaning towards the Q1, the only thing putting me off is the lack of an End key. Sure, I could program another key to function as the End key. I just wondered if you miss the End key in your daily use? and have you found any issues/quirks with the board?
Thanks 🙏 I was thinking of the GMMK Pro as well. I went for the Q1 V2 as it has a slightly lower typing angle. Funny you talk about the End key. As a software dev, I use the Home and End key heavily. So I've mapped the three vertical keys below the knob as Home, End and Insert. Works pretty well.
@@ChuenL Thank you for replying. That sounds like a perfect solution, I am also a software dev and will do the same! That has sold it for me, as soon as the Black ISO V2 is back in stock, i'll place an order. Thanks again.
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact and powerful device that offers both vacuuming and blowing capabilities. With its versatile features and efficient cleaning performance, it could be a great addition to your desktop setup. Plus, the price is reasonable compared to other brands. Definitely worth considering!
I have the zoom65 right now and Idk if I should return my Keychron Q1 V2 or keep it and sell the zoom65. Keep in mind I don't mind not having the F row or having an F row
Glorious Gmmk Pro is another option. If you are in the EU, they do have an ISO version. www.gloriousgaming.com/collections/modular-mechanical-gaming-keyboards
Hey, thanks for checking out the video 🙏. I got the cable from AliExpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002275477639.html (just make sure to pick the right usb connector for your keyboard)
Hey there! I see you're interested in the Keychron Q1 V2 Knob. Regarding your question about the knob, it appears you can assign up to three layers/profiles to it. By the way, have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and versatile tool for keeping your desk clean, and it even has a powerful blowing function for keyboard cleaning. It's definitely worth considering for maintaining a spotless setup. Happy cleaning!
Hey {{3}}! If you're looking for a versatile cleaning tool for your desk and beyond, I'd recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it great for cleaning keyboards and tight spaces. The price is reasonable compared to other brands, and it has some handy features like washable filters and efficient storage. Happy cleaning!

At 03:32 I talk about PBT vs ABS keycaps. When I say ABT at 03:42, what I wanted to say is ABS rather than ABT!
Great review... Great job on editing. There aren't many reviews on the Q1 V2. I do want to see a mod to fix the ping on the case.
Thanks. Appreciate the kind words and support. I might try and do a video on some further mods on the keyboard to address the pinging
@@ChuenL Please do! Loved the vid btw
You could use the Force Break Mod! That would fix it!
I just received my q1 v2 and it seems keycron has listen to us and implemented the force break mod.
the v2 already has some fixes implemented against ping. it basically does not need mod any more.. the bottom is now lined with a dampening material like sticker, below the foam.
So aesthetic.
I really want thise keycaps so bad.
Why would anyone get the barebones? i mean even if you plan on using diffrent keycaps and switches. For 20bucks you get a full set of switches and keycaps thats a very good deal
To add to that; switches are honestly really good for factory pre-lubes.
@@trafalgarson im still waiting on my q1 knob with browns but it was a nobrainer to pick a assembled board.
Exactly how they price the packages. People get lured into extra with only a little more money so they don’t question the expense of the barebones.
honestly its such a good deal
ISO versions are only available as barebones. Only the ANSI version is available fully built.
liked your review.. keep it up! -subscribed 🙂
Thanks for the sub!
I wish the knob was a bit more offset, as they made it too close to the HOME button.
You are a cool guy: you need to do more content with keyboard tech !

Hello quick question, so it turns out that in total (including tax/shipping) the keychron q1 v2 its $270 CAD... is this still worth the price?
try build something similar your self. you will pay double that ;)

Is this the best option i have under 200€ ? I dont wanna mod it, just use it stock for gaming mostly
Glorious Gmmk Pro is another option. If you are in the EU, they do have an ISO version. www.gloriousgaming.com/collections/modular-mechanical-gaming-keyboards
great video i like it!
Where i can buy your coiled cable?
Ty for all!
Hey, thanks for checking out the video 🙏. I got the cable from AliExpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002275477639.html (just make sure to pick the right usb connector for your keyboard)
Great video. What cable are you using with your keyboard? Just got my Q1 and I loved the cable you have. Thanks =)
🙏🏻 Thanks for dropping by and checking out the vid! Yup, the cable I got is from AliExpress www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002275477639.html
Amazing, thank you so much for sharing @@ChuenL .
How does this compare to the new k8 pro? I can't decide which to get...
Hey hey question for you, how many layers/profiles can you assign to the knob? Thanks
Hey there! I see you're interested in the Keychron Q1 V2 Knob. Regarding your question about the knob, it appears you can assign up to three layers/profiles to it. By the way, have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact and versatile tool for keeping your desk clean, and it even has a powerful blowing function for keyboard cleaning. It's definitely worth considering for maintaining a spotless setup. Happy cleaning!
Hey great video, i have a question, can you replace the knob with a badge like the v1 had?
You do while you have to purchase another PCB. The knob version has a different layout.
What color option do you have? I assume it's the Black one?
Hey! Yup. Got the black one.
is this a hotswappble ?
Yes
GG

for 200 out of the box, it sounds horrible
as bad as a 20$ keyboard tbh
agreed
