The Keychron Q1 HE is the 75% variant of Keychrons Hall Effect line of keyboards.
So, is it worth the investment?
Find out in my full Keychron Q1 HE review.

Beyond excelling for productivity, the highly customizable Hall Effect switches make this an ideal board for gaming.
This truly is an elite custom keyboard.
The volume knob is as good as they get on keyboards, too.
It gives a satisfying click when pressed down, and rotating the knob requires a deliberate amount of force.
It feels really satisfying to use and is unobtrusively positioned in the upper right corner of the keyboard.
Nevertheless, its a winning formula, and the board looks incredibly clean.

The model I tested had beautiful blue, green and white keycaps, on a white case.
There are two actuations pre-bottom out, and two more post bottom out on the upstroke.
Gaming performance
The Gateron magnetic switches fared excellently across all of the games I tested them in.

Fortunately, Keychron has confirmed to Toms Guide that more switch options are in development for their magnetic boards.
The only reason you might want to avoid the Q1 HE is theKeychron K2 HE.
