Keychron Q2 QMK 客製化機械鍵盤

Just here to echo another review:
"Only thing I would change would be a way that I can pause the animation to have a gradient of colour on the keyboard."

Purchased the fully assembled navy blue w Red switches for my work daily driver - on Win machines I prefer a 65%, while at home on a Mac I prefer 75% (which is why the home daily driver is a GMMK Pro). I prefer the heft of a full aluminum chassis, and have liked the other Keychrons I've purchased and tried.

Out of the box, the Q2 has nice heft. It's substantial, it feels serious. Fit and finish is first rate. Has more flex and give than the GMMK Pro, which I very much like. The OSA keycap profile is also quite nice, very much different than the spherical Drop MT3 I had been using at home, and after adjusting I prefer typing on it. The switch and keycap pullers are good quality, and there are thoughtful included items like allen screwdriver for the case screws and additional screws (yay!). So there's a lot to like just unboxing and plugging it in.

All that being said, my initial reservations were stabilizers and overall typic experience. The typing feel was just okay for me, sound profile not really pleasant. And those stabilizers, out of the box...nope. They are pre-lubed (with lube dripping down onto the PCB, I found), but clacky.

So the two mods I performed: 1) replaced the red switches with Gateron Phantom Yellows, and 2) band aid modded the stabilizers. This really cleaned up both the typing feel and the sound profile. No more clack, much more thock.

The vertical give of the Q2 and the lower-pitched sound profile is now much more pleasant than what I have on the home office driver, and I'm hoping the new GMMK Flex Kit that is arriving next week will get that closer to what I now have in the Q2.

I also realize all of this is pretty subjective...many of you will love the Q2 as-delivered, right out of the box. Others of us may want to disassemble and modify a bit, and for that, the Q2 offers lots of opportunities, as well as a very accessible and straightforward assembly process that makes modding easy.

All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and can recommend the Q2 as both a great entry point board (many will leave it stock) and a good 65% platform for mods both subtle and extreme.

This is my first keyboard with lubed switches and it honestly feels so different from any other keyboard ive used. They are way smoother and easier to press and i would highly recommend getting the red switches with this keyboard. The build is very sturdy and the case is a very heavy metal and feels like quality. The OSA keycaps are just fine for me even though ive always been using normal keycaps, i also like the font. I have the shell white one and it looks beautiful with the RGB shining through. My only complaint is that the left shift is a bit heavier to press down than what im used to and i play a lot of shooting games. Other than that, this is a great keyboard.

Great keyboard - it's now my go-to. Solidly built with nice feeling key caps, and I love the knob.

I'm a programmer, so I spend all day typing. This keyboard has been great, and is one of the smallest I could find that still had the top-level functionality I need. (I don't like relying on layers for things I hit frequently, I have too many different keyboards to make learning new keys worth it)

It feels so good to type on with Gateron browns. Very quality feeling and the keycaps are professional looking. I'm not even going to mod it; buying some holy pandas and bringing it to work.
