For everyone asking, it’s a Keychron Q1 V2. Will be replacing the key caps and switches soon, but can only get that one fully assembled.

@paul I love my Keychron Q1. Their QMK board are excellent. I have a V1 too and it’s solid for a really affordable price.
@paul what switches are you going to?
@particles box navy/jade combo.
@paul ooh! That sounds interesting! Do you already have a board in a similar configuration?
@paul I just got a Keychron K8 Pro. Love the feel of the Brown switches.
@paul Use code Tapbots for 10% off
@paul I always want to mess with a wireless, just because, maybe at work, I have a Ducky at home
@paul I have the Q1 V1 with Boba U4T switches, slightly modded/improved sound dampening and absolutely love it
@paul Which switches and caps do you plan to use?
@paul nice, I’ve been very happy with my Q5.
@paul love my keychron keyboard. They’re so good they make me hate using my laptop’s keyboard.
@paul Very nice, looks great! What Keyboard were you using before?
@paul I’m very interested to hear how you like it. Especially re the height.
@paul hard to beat the value of Keychron boards.
@maxvoltar @paul love my k2
@exchgr @paul nice! It allows you slowly dip into the hobby a bit more (replacing keycaps, tuning switches etc)
@maxvoltar @paul mine’s completely stock! the only time i’ve had to take a key off is to clean it
@paul how do you feel/think about having asymmetric command keys? I realized that I really appreciate having complete sets of Cmd, Ctrl, Alt on both sides.
@paul Bought my wife a Keycron K6 with brown switches for Christmas. It will be her first mechanical keyboard.
Which keycap set to put on this? Not sure I’m really crazy about any of them, probably the 2048 (last one) but might be kind of boring.
@paul the blue keyboard has heavy severance vibes, so that one
Data General 6053 - Terminals

@css @paul it's really cool [edit]but i like the original colors before the inversion
@elroy they did a limited release in the "correct" colorway https://drop.com/buy/dasher-and-dancer-sa-custom-keycap-set

@paul The blue one has a kind of Symbolics Lisp Machine vibe.
@paul top right looks dope.
@paul the second one — blue, white, and gray.
@mike @paul Same, although I do like that last one, too.
@paul the last one looks awesome, love the retro mac aesthetics
@paul 2048 looking the best in my opinion
@paul I like the colors and lettering in the 2nd one a lot, but it bothers me at a fundamental level that CAPSLOCK is not 2 words. So, the 4th one.
@paul I have the MT3 2048 (not the fun colors; I hate fun) and it’s excellent.
@paul oh hey I have a photo:
@paul Ivory! (Photo attach take two)
@paul I own the first one. Love it. Looks better in person.

Keycaps and keyboards designed by @maxvoltar.

@maxvoltar I really like high profile caps though.
@paul Out of those, I’d go with 2048
@paul Yes, the last one!
@paul I have the last one (no color keys version, most boring!) and would never go back to anything else.
@paul oooh that from Keychron?
@paul that’s a very good looking keyboard 😍
@paul Q1? Nice. Rocking K6 currently but was thinking about this one.
@paul woah what’s the knob in the top right?
@paul shell white is the best Q1 color
@paul I like keychron quite a bit. I got a v series for my wife and was pretty impressed. I’m either going to do the v8 Alice layout or bite the bullet and go for the Q series. That said I built out two boards for myself already this year….
@paul I highly recommend setting up your fn+ijkl as arrow keys. It’s excellent to navigate code without leaving the home row.
@paul woot! I got the K8 Pro!!!
@paul nice! Have the same one in blue, no regrets.
@paul that’s nice! Just got a K2 Pro and I’m really enjoying it. Just didn’t like that the Q2 wasn’t wireless.
