These switches provide a distinct advantage due to their unique mechanism, offering faster feedback, dynamic rapid triggering, and adjustable actuation points
HONG KONG, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today Keychron, manufacturer of computer peripherals for Mac, Windows and Android, launched a crowdfunding campaign for Q1 HE. Designed for gamers who demand both responsiveness and versatility, it is the first 75% layout wireless QMK custom keyboard equipped with Hall Effect Gateron 2.0 magnetic switches, providing distinct advantages due to their unique mechanism. The keyboard is available for $214 USD on the Kickstarter platform.
Traditional keyboards typically have a fixed actuation point, which means that a keypress is registered, regardless of the depth at which the button is engaged. A hallmark feature of Q1 HE allows for customizable actuation points, meaning users are not limited to just programming each key's character and function, they may also assign multiple actions to a single key based on press depth. For example, a slight press on a key will register one command, whereas a deeper press will trigger a different command. Adjustable actuation points allow for faster feedback, dynamic rapid triggering, and a personalized typing sensation.
"Gamers seek responsiveness and versatility for a competitive edge in fast-paced games" said Paul Tan, COO of Keychron. "With Q1 HE, our goal was to create a keyboard that not only excels in performance but also offers unprecedented customization. The Hall Effect Gateron 2.0 magnetic switches, with their ability to set dual actions and increase stability and smoothness of typing experience, are literal game-changers."
Built to last, the Q1 HE is crafted from CNC-machined 6063 aluminum, boasting a robust and elegant design that withstands intense gaming sessions. PBT keycaps and a double-gasket design enhance typing sound and comfort. The introduction of 2.4G connection mode with an impressive 1000 Hz polling rate ensures a lightning-fast gaming experience. With Bluetooth multi-device connectivity, Q1 HE allows gamers to seamlessly switch between devices.
For those who love to tinker, the Q1 HE features a QMK open-source firmware for versatile key remapping. This feature enables users to remap their favorite keys and create macros on any operating system, including macOS, Windows, and Linux. The easy assembly design of the Q1 HE also allows gamers to customize or mod each component, offering a truly personalized typing experience.
"The Q1 HE is more than just a keyboard; it's a commitment to quality and innovation," added Tan. "We believe it will empower gamers to perform at their best and enjoy a superior gaming experience."
The Keychron Q1 HE Keyboard is slated to begin in January 2024, with all orders fulfilled by February 2024. Media wishing to interview the Keychron personnel should contact PR agent Borjana Slipicevic at [email protected].
