Double-Gasket Design
The Double-Gasket Design is an innovative structure within the industry. Alongside the gaskets on the plates, we have incorporated silicone pads between the top and bottom cases. This significantly reduces the resonance between the metals, thereby decreasing the noise caused by metal impacts. The Double-Gasket Structure maintains the flexibility of the gasket system while enhancing the overall typing sound quality.
Powered By ARM
Introducing an all-new ultra-low-power ARM MCU architecture, boasting 128K Flash memory, providing developers with enhanced flexibility. The keyboard features an exceptional polling rate of up to 1000 Hz straight out of the box, ensuring minimal latency for competitive gaming.
Programmable Knob
Designed to elevate your creative process, the premium rotary encoder allows you to effortlessly customise your favourite keys and macros using the innovative VIA software.
You can effortlessly customise the knob to your preferred key or macro commands, such as zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, opacity, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or changing the backlight hue.
OSA Profile ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps
Enhance your typing experience with the Q1 ISO version, featuring our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with a spherical angle) and ABS backlight shine-through keycaps. These keycaps are designed to offer a more comfortable fingertip feel and an impressive backlight shine-through effect.
Swap Between Windows & MacOS
Designed with Mac users in mind, yet fully compatible with Windows devices, the Q1 stands out as one of the few keyboards offering a Mac multimedia key layout for Mac enthusiasts. Using VIA software, you can easily configure your keymap for both Mac and Windows systems.
All-New Screw-In PCB Stabilisers
The screw-in design enhances stability and simplifies changes and upgrades. Precision craftsmanship ensures the stabilizers are more secure and less wobbly. This results in a more stable and smooth typing experience for larger keys (space bar, shift, enter, delete). The Keychron Q1 V2 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry and Durock.
