My First Mk Ever Keychron Q1 V2 Knob Gateron Red

  • Sound+1 pts

    It really is magic, it will make the board sound much less hollow and pingy.

First Thoughts After Going From Corsair K65

  • Sound+1 pts

    Loudness — the Keychron is, I'd say, 40-50% quieter. The sound itself is also less pingy and clicky.

Keychron Q1 V2 Review With Seller Feedback

  • Sound+1 pts

    This reduced the high-pitched clacks of the keeb, and now has a medium poppy sound.

  • Design, Lighting & Controls-1 pts

    The knob has a bit too much bump per turn for my preference and is not as smooth as a Monsgeek M1 knob.
