Keychron Q2 Vs Glorious Gmmk Pro Which Barebone

  • Typing Feel & Switches+1 pts

    the Q2 does have better stabs than the GMMK Pro

  • Build, Keycaps & Support-1 pts

    Keychron support is abysmal — both in getting back to you and the actual 'support' they provide.

Keychron Q2 Stock Review

  • Typing Feel & Switches+1 pts

    The Gateron screw-in stabs are pretty decent. No complaints at all.

  • Build, Keycaps & Support+1 pts

    The case and overall feel are really high quality

  • Layout & Comfort-1 pts

    The aluminum case makes it heavy and frustrating to hold or move around

Epomaker Th66 Vs Keychron Q2

  • Sound-1 pts

    I really don't like the stock Q2 sound.

  • Build, Keycaps & Support+1 pts

    The Q2 is full aluminum so it'll feel and look a bit more premium than other budget boards, and while it's full metal there's no ping

Torn Between Keychron Q2 And K7 Wireless

  • Typing Feel & Switches+1 pts

    most important to me is that it works so well that it fades into the background. I can focus on my work and that is precisely what I want from my keyboard.

  • Layout & Comfort-1 pts

    The Q series are very heavy and they do not lug well

    the spacebar and the left shift key on my sample at least they don't sound as dialed in and tuned as i would have hoped

    That spacebar sound is horrendous. One of biggest gripes with Keychron. The alphas sound so good though

I Hate My Keychron Q2

  • Build, Keycaps & Support-1 pts

    I've had several switches fail on me. Right now, my 'S', 'D', and 'Shift' keys don't register every keystroke.

    one of the popular use cases for the control knob is obviously to control the volume and then click to mute
