Another day, another Keychron! They have expanded into Hall effect keyboards, which of course drew my attention. Hope you enjoy the video!

Someone send Thomas a single HAL key ergo keyboard. The character you type depends on how many micrometers you depress the key...

just got this keyboard yesterday and I love it. Comes so refined right out of the box
Excellent video, mate! Got my Q1 HE a few days ago. Same style as yours. Looks great! I Love everything about this keyboard EXCEPT the hot-swappable switches don't wanna be swapped. Can't believe how easily you popped off that switch. Mine won't budge at all.
I've been daily driving the Keychron Q5 Max with Gateron Jupiter red switches for about 2 months now and really enjoy it. I'll be waiting for the review on this guy. Cheers!!
Thanks for the video! On a side note, you're hitting some of my pleasure points....love the Grim Fandango tee. Also, is that a Bailey's w/ Jameson or a Brandy Alexander on the rocks I see? Either way, Bailey's was one of my favs before I hung it up :)

It's kahlua with vodka and milk! Love Bailey's though, this tastes very similar to it.
It will come down to their software. An HE keyboard with bad software is a smooth doorstop.
The dual Mac/Windows compatibility is one of my favorite parts of a Keychron.
Welp... Looks like im getting another Keychron 4 years and 3 countries later in my journey. Love my k6 and will be using it still on the side desk.. But this will be taking over my main work/gaming station when they release it, HE is the future and they even included double actuation points and many other features the magnetic boards have been providing. Great unboxing and looking forward to the in depth once you break into the operation characteristics and programming of the board. Mahalo and Aloha
@9:00 That is nicely silent. Interesting indeed that they would be stiffer. Looking forward to the full review!
Cool that its becoming more obtainable
Wow, that is a surprisingly handsome keyboard.
The switches are a variant of the KS-37Bs (dual rail) rather than Steelseries and Wooting’s KS-20s. Basically a brother from another mother.

@@Chyrosran22 By the way, not sure if it interests you but you can use the click spring of the Gateron Melodics or KS-22 Blues in the Lekkers, Jades and 20Us to get clicky magnetic switches. The (Clicky) Jades are among the loudest switches I’ve heard so far. I tried it because all Gateron’s Magnetic switches had that fucking click spring slot without them ever releasing clicky versions.

@@mimp8365 Wait... can you please explain this to me? I'm considering buying this keyboard. I am disabled and have problems with my hands. I think magnetic switches where you can adjust the activation point are something for me. But I would also like to feel the clicky switch sometimes. So is it possible to use this keyboard with clicky switches? Thank you in advance for your reply :)
Hee, Grim Dango gg.
Based off sound alone I prefer the sound of the keydous nj98-cp pro you reviewed a couple months ago. Maybe you can make a magnetic keyboard sound comparison round-up after you review the q1 he

I just picked one of these up today - mine is the white version. I'm not sure which one I like the most though.
What is the keyboard with the pastel cyan keys you showed for a couple of seconds? Is this also a Keychron with mag switches?

I wish they'd add an extra key on the right. i like having PgUp,PgDn,Home,End as i use those all the time.
Please see how your ceramic keycaps do on it I got them both on the way and would love to see it and hear it with ceramic keys
Knobs and dongles. Heehee. I've been bouncing between the idea of getting a Wooting or a Keychron for a while now, this keyboard certainly isn't making it any easier to decide.

No comparison from a build quality perspective. Q series is amazing. Can’t tell you on the Rapid Trigger functionality. I grabbed a Melgeek Cyber01 just to try an HE board out, but haven’t had a chance to really play with it.
I have the same keyboard as you. I will unbox it tonight after school
Always enjoying your clear English pronunciation. 🙂
GRIM FANDANGO!
You might call me heavy handed, but I'd love an optical or hall effect linear switch with +-80g actuation force.
So, the keyboard with the knob is stiffer than is usual for linear contact free switchs..... Seriously, I like stiffer linears, love yellow alps. I'll be looking forward to the full review. Great to see you as always Tom.

I'd love a TKL or ISO 60% version of this.
4:30 for some reason you can use normal switches as well
