I'm typing on my Q2 now. It's my first keyboard in a few years. I have 2 Leopold FC750R's with browns and blues. Those were my first "real" keyboards. This Q2 takes the build quality to another level. This thing is HEAVY. And it's my first 65%, which has been shockingly easy to adjust to. Apparently I don't use the function row? The stock sound is pretty nice but I plan to do Hipyo's mods but use black ink v2s and Akko caps. I've never lubed and filmed switches before, so I wanted to learn. That deeper sound is amazing. Great video!

Loving this board so far, but my only complaint is the loud spacebar. How did you get it to sound so... pleasant in the after mods section? Is that because of the change in switch with lube and film? Did you do something to the stabilisers? Or is it a combination of stabs + switch + tape that makes it sound far quieter? The actual switches themselves I'm really happy with for now. Oh, and VIA software and modding is absolutely lovely. Huge fan. Is it possible to add extra layers, does anyone know?

Switched from a razer blackwidow chroma V2 that I'd been using for about 6 years now to the keyboard in this video, modded in the same fashion, just with a different style keycap from keychron and the blue version of the board since it was the only one in stock. The difference is absolutely night and day. I enjoy typing on this keyboard like no other. I hope this board takes me through a decade and stands the test of time because the quality in the materials here is outmatched by the consumer and gaming keyboards hitting the market today. I feel like I'm typing on a mechanical cloud. It's beautiful. A good lube job and some films elevate these switches too. Box ink pinks are the way to go for this board for sure. Perfect keyboard build for everyone. This is a must grab. My only gripe is that programming this board in particular with VIA is buggy as hell and a mess to get going. I've had it crash way too many times out of the gate. Keychron seriously needs to get on that with better VIA support, especially for a keyboard company as big as they are there isn't an excuse for that kind of poor performance. Hardware for this build is a 100/10 but the software support is like a 5/10. May I type on this board through the ages. Thank you hipyo for a perfect keyboard, this just hits the spot.

In my opinion the best budget keyboard for gaming is the Higround basecamp series. Sounds amazing stock but you can make it sound even better with mods. Im using it right now and the only thing ive changed about it is I changed the prelubed TTC switches for some unlubed KTT roses. It sounds about the same, just a little deeper now.
