I'm using the wired Q1...

Don't know how to determine is it "good" but no complains so far aside from the knob which is less sensitive now

don't like tenkeyless keyboards.. numpad is a godsent and i don't want to buy a separate numpad just to supplement a keyboard without one

99% of people don’t even need such fancy keyboards

i use wired V series

don't see the need for wireless keyboard, also it is thicker than i like. the wired one is thinner like normal keyboard

to be specific i using keychron v5 knob. the QMK is useful as it is easy to remap keys into the keyboard memory and don't need to launch another client on startup for your macros etc. for me i map the numpad to layer as the home end delete and arrow keys when i press the numlock

so far the only bad part i notice is the light don't shine thru the keycaps, but i usually use the com with light on anyway

Keychron has a bit of history for bad QA for some batches. Quite of number of users have their keychron faulty after 1-2 yr of use. THere are complain after service as well, almost zero support. If you tio the good batch, you heng.

Aesthetic wise, very nice as they are using higher profile keycaps (OEM keycaps). Their color matching for their keyboard based and keycaps is one of the best imo. Sound profile wise, they required modding to attain a decent sound, unlike its competitors, which ready made and the sound is good.

The price is not the friendliest. They are quite expensive, considering them being a china brand.

What you looking is 75% keyboard. Maybe u can look at other brand w aluminum base like Rainy75, Hi75, Bridge75, Monka A75, Fury75 or SKN青鳥75(their own sister brand which is now more popular now in China than keychron). Of course there are others but certainly more worth than Q1 imo.
