Verdict

Keychron K2 Pro

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable, well-supported 75% wireless board that remains one of the easiest ways into QMK/VIA customization.

Keychron Q1 Max

9 / 10 Expert Rating

Premium custom-keyboard feel, build, and programmability at a fraction of a custom build's cost — the best mechanical keyboard for most people, barring competitive 2.4GHz needs.
