A few days ago, I made a video showcasing a new pickup in the new Keychron Q1 that includes a rotary encoder knob.

This keyboard has changed the game for me in terms of typing experience. Having already felt I had a premium typing experience using the Keychron K2, this is an absolute all around improvement on all the benefits I brought up with that board.

The Q1 makes it feel as though every word is relevant and every word counts, it makes you want to be verbose just for the sake of it. This sounds silly, I know, but that is my best way to explain the feeling you get from using a quality mechanical keyboard.

As I fall deeper into the never-ending rabbit hole that is mechanical keyboards, I might look to upgrade the switches (luckily, the board is hot-swappable) and keycaps in the near future. Also, I may purchase a coiled aviator cable for no other reason than I prefer the look. As for now though, I am more than happy with the stock keyboard

Below are a few additional photos to compliment the project.
