Product details
- Wireless and Full Metal: Meet the Keychron Q1 Pro, a groundbreaking full metal QMK/VIA wireless custom mechanical keyboard. Along with our many premium designs, including double-gasket design, PBT keycaps, screw-in stabs, etc., it will deliver you an unprecedented typing experience! The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages.
- Multitasking Wirelessly and Wired Connections: You can connect the Q1 Pro with up to 3 devices wirelessly via its stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking across your laptop, phone, and tablet. Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows. The Q1 Pro can last up to 100 hours (at lowest brightness) with a 4000 mAh big battery, which is one of the biggest in mechanical keyboards. It also has wired mode with USB Type-C connection.
- Programmable with QMK & VIA: Keychron Q1 Pro allows anyone to remap any key, and create macro commands, shortcuts, or combination keys through VIA. Simply connect the Q1 Pro to your device with a cable, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on any system (macOS, Windows, or Linux). Note: User can remap a key on wired mode only. Once it's done, the keymap will work on both wireless and wired modes.
- Hot-swappable Support: The pre-lubed mechanical tactile brown switch provides unrivaled tactile responsiveness with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. You can also hot-swap the Q1 Pro with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. The PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizer for “big keys” such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete are designed for less wobbliness and smooth performance.
- Double-Gasket Design: In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design combination allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.
- Innovative PBT Keycaps & South-facing Backlight: To further fine-tune your typing experience, we designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use. Comes with 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed, and different modes, or even remap these keys with QMK/VIA.
