Keychron is a brand that needs no introduction; the keyboard manufacturer rose to prominence over the last three years on the back of affordable products that delivered a robust set of features. The brand is now synonymous with value, and its products often tend to undercut their rivals by a significant margin.
While Keychron has traditionally focused on the sub-$100 price point, it is now moving into the higher echelons of the mechanical keyboard market, and the introduction of the Q1 was a bold statement. At a time when other brands like Glorious, Akko, and others were offering DIY gasket-mounted keyboards for $169 — without any keycaps or switches — Keychron is selling a fully assembled keyboard using an even better gasket mounting system for $199, making it an irresistible value.
