For quite some time, Keychon has been a rising star in the mechanical keyboard world. The company casts a good balance between features and price, and it's not afraid to release new models, so whatever you're looking for is likely to have a solution. Unless you wanted a premium aluminum deck with a wireless option. Finally, the Q1 Pro has filled that void, offering a flagship, fully customizable 75% keyboard with Bluetooth connectivity. The Q1 Pro keyboard from Keychron features hot-swappable switches and QMK/VIA compatibility (open source software for easy remapping of any key). It also works with Mac, Windows, and Android - or all three at once, thanks to the ability to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices. There's also the choice of an aluminium rotary knob for volume control, brightness, or whatever else you want. We were big fans of the original Q1 keyboard and are excited to see what the new model has in store for us. Prices range at $170 for the bare bones, or $350 for the pre-built version, with some setups starting at $150. Drop's GMMK Pro and Sense75 are two high-profile competitors for the Q1.

Spare key caps for the different keys on Microsoft and Apple layouts are included in the box. Bluetooth pairing is as simple as pressing a key combination. Keychron's Drop Sense75 and GMMK Pro have a stiffer gasket, resulting in a snappier type. The supplied red switches have resistance comparable to Cherry reds, but you are free to use whatever you want; in fact, it is encouraged. The battery life will be largely determined by how far you push the RGB. In any case, if you're looking for a premium aluminium, personalised keyboard with Bluetooth connectivity, the Keychron Q1 Pro is probably your best option right now.
