Keychron Q1 HE QMK Wireless Custom Keyboard, Fully Assembled with Knob, Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Nebula Switches - Shell White

This 75% Keychron keyboard suits gamers and typists who want magnetic switches, adjustable 0.2 mm actuation, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, PBT keycaps, hot-swappable switches, and web-based configuration. It also carries a 100-hour battery-life claim. The trade-offs are substantial weight and the lack of flip-out feet, while the evidence does not provide a numerical latency measurement.
