Keychron came out the magnetic keyboard gate swinging last year, with both the Q1 HE and ceramic Q16 HE 8K. Now it's got a speedy 75% option for those after high polling rates and a snappier switch feel, and the Keychron Q1 HE 8K delivers on its promises. Whether those features will be enough to sway gamers away from similarly priced alternatives remains to be seen.
This $229.99 price point is starting to look a little crowded. The Q1 HE 8K isn't going to trouble the best gaming keyboard I've tested so far: it lacks a few of the gaming-specific features to give the Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 anything to worry about. However, if you're after a high-level typing experience with a firmer feel overall, this is still well worth a look.
