0:00Recruit, your next keyboard just got a harder question: how do you actually type? Keychron has released two versions of the Q1. The Q1 HE has customizable magnetic switches. The Q1 Max uses Gateron Jupiter mechanical switches. Both models share the same footprint. Here's my take. Then, you picked a board off the spec sheet. Now, the footprint is the same, so the spec sheet stops deciding anything and feel is what's left. Feel is what keeps your hands fast, and that's a better way to shop.
0:34So which are you, a tinkerer or a set-and-forget typist? Check that before you buy. If you like to tweak, look at the HE. If you want a classic mechanical feel, look at the Max. Don't pay for features you won't touch. Speed Demon is live at WinGamingGear, and entries close November second. Whatever board you pick, show me how fast your fingers really are. Game on, guild.
