The wired Q1 is a 75 percent layout and starts at $159 (starting at $139 barebones and $159 fully assembled).

It's got a few quirks that made me miss the Q2, but that's also a more expensive wired mechanical keyboard (starting at $149 barebones, $159 barebones with knob, and $169 fully assembled) and it's only a 65 percent layout. Keychron sent me a K8 Pro to test for the past few weeks and for the price, it's a solid sub-$100 wireless TKL keyboard. Keychron COO Paul Tan says the K8 Pro is one of the first stock keyboards to support VIA. And lastly, the K8 Pro also supports customization using open-source keyboard configuration software QMK and VIA. The keycaps on the fully assembled K8 Pro are also double shot PBT instead of the ABS on the K8 they're more tactile and the legends won't fade as quickly. The main upgrades in the K8 Pro over the K8 include sound-absorbing foam, a silicone pad in the base, and screw-in stabilizers for a better typing feel and sound. Starting at $79 (barebones) or $99 (fully assembled), the K8 Pro is a wireless 80 percent Tenkeyless (TKL) mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable switches that works with Mac, Windows, and any other Bluetooth-compatible mobile devices running Android. Keychron is leaning into everyone's latest obsessive hobby with the wireless K8 Pro, an upgraded version of the K8 released in 2020. Mechanical keyboard mania is not going away.
