This is Q1 version 1 barebone kit with aviator cable

What's the difference between the Q1 non Knob version 1 and Version 2?

Version 2 Adjustment:
1. Double-Gasket Design with extra silicone gaskets installed between the top and bottom cases for an improved sound profile.
2. Steel plate instead of an aluminum plate, making the board heavier and sturdier.
3. The top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps.
4. Abandoned the Coiled Aviator Cable.
5. New screw-in PCB stabilizer.

Please notice that this is barebone kit without switches and keycap

    I would but gotta save my money for Sunday purchase of QK65

      Different layout though, some people can't compromise the layout aesthetic and functionality.

    • Minimum-Chips on 17/06/2022 - 18:35

      where at?

    • Sammyboy on 17/06/2022 - 18:42

      Diff layout but I agree. The keychron doesn't even come close to qk65. I ended up ordering direct from qwerty. Seemed to me the the difference in cost was negligible, but could be wrong. Just ordered a capsule too which cost fortune.

      Now this keeb at same form factor as keychron is real bang for buck

      29USD shipped. There is a 10% coupon floating around too. No qmk though

      • Masticccc on 17/06/2022 - 19:04

        Yeah but some people want alu case lol, myself included

        • Sammyboy on 17/06/2022 - 21:15

          Must be pricing error at $50

          • Masticccc on 17/06/2022 - 22:03

            @Sammyboy: Hmm what are you showing here? That Ajazz is 220 AUD from my side.

            • Sammyboy on 17/06/2022 - 23:47

              @Masticccc: The peace version was $50. I didn't buy as thinking was an error

              • Masticccc on 18/06/2022 - 00:07

                @Sammyboy: Yeah that version is 220$, probably price error before

      Pretty nice kit and even includes a bluetooth PCB option, but it does start at ~255 AUD shipped, which is almost double what this current deal is. It's also a pre-order so you won't be receiving it until later this year

  • dekekun on 17/06/2022 - 18:29

    Need to get the q5 barebones in stock. Only having the pre builds in stock sucks.

  • vodkapapii on 17/06/2022 - 18:32

    What’s the general opinion on this board from the keyboard enthusiast community? Is it worth it at this price?

    • Masticccc on 17/06/2022 - 18:45
      +6

      Well it's the best bang for bucks for sure. You get a 75% layout, hotswap, rgb, knobs, QMK programmable, alu case at 139 AUD, what do you want more (yeah Ik ppl screaming wireless but be realistic). Just 1-2 years ago at this price I can only get a plastic keyboard with some china programmable software. Not to mention Keychron has official partner in Australia, so warranty and services are there compare to the usual custom keyboards where you found little after-sale supports.
      About sounds and typing feels, there are plenty reviews on Youtube for you to judge. General consensus is the Q1 kinda hollow (pingy sounds when type), but some simple mods can change that.

      • debitbankcharges on 17/06/2022 - 22:12

        Wasn't it 139 usd? Oh snap I stand corrected. Not bad!

  • abadacus on 17/06/2022 - 18:33

    Cant wait till they make a metal 1800 with knob that doesn't have wireless issues

    • Masticccc on 17/06/2022 - 18:36
      +1

      Well then the kit will cost much more than their intended market.

      • abadacus on 17/06/2022 - 20:21

        Are you sure? They're 95% the way there

        Or are you meaning that the cost to fix regular wireless/QC issues, would push price beyond expectation

        • Masticccc on 17/06/2022 - 22:00

          I mean for the Q line, just adding the wireless feature will push the price up noticeably. Keychron facebook group admin tell that in a post.

    I don't need another keyboard I've already got enough… I look forward to my new Q1 arriving

    Not even PBT keycaps. overpriced

  • UsernameChecksIn on 28/06/2022 - 05:45

    Dang getting more order issues

    Negative rep experience.

    Re-learning the lesson not to trust associated trading names of people with posts averaging only a dozen upvotes.

    The stocked units quantity seem to be random numbers on display?

    Even Keychron.com direct from overseas was a better experience after all the delays with these authorised online partners.

    Wondering the issues here when keychron.net.au Mastex Corporation Pty. Ltd is registered under Keychron CEO Beeep/Cowise

    • UsernameChecksIn on 28/06/2022 - 17:49

      Seller has been unresponsive on multiple avenues.
      Adding a downvote to this deal per voting guidelines issue with retailer.

      Have had delays before eventual arrival in the past but not ghosted like this.

      Hopefully they try to sell through their eBay front again
