Keychron Q7 70% Layout Hot-Swappable - Review

As someone who loves to type and enjoys the feel of a good mechanical keyboard, I was thrilled to receive the Keychron Q7 70% Layout Hot-Swappable RGB Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard for review. This keyboard is fully assembled and customizable, with a 70% layout and all-metal mechanical design. With its double-gasket kit, QMK/VIA support, and Gateron G Pro Brown Switch, this keyboard is designed to give you an endless possibility of customization experience on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

One of the standout features of the Keychron Q7 is its QMK and VIA support. This means that you can easily personalize your own keymap to remap each key and create macros on the keyboard. The open-source firmware offers endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more. This level of customization is unparalleled and perfect for anyone who needs a keyboard that can adapt to their specific needs and workflow.

Another impressive feature of the Keychron Q7 is its double gasket design. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, the keyboard also has silicone pads between the top and bottom cases. This design significantly reduces the sound resonance between the metals and reduces the noise of the impacted metals. This is an excellent feature for anyone who wants a quieter typing experience, especially in an office or shared space. The gasket structure also improves the overall typing sound, making it more stable and consistent.

The Keychron Q7 is also hot-swappable, which means that you can replace the switches without soldering. The pre-installed Gateron G Pro mechanical brown switch is pre-lubed for unrivaled tactile responsiveness and can last up to 50 million keystrokes. You can hot-swap every switch on the Q7 with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.), making it easy to customize and switch out switches. This feature is great for anyone who likes to experiment with different switches to find the one that suits them best.

The south-facing RGB LED is also a great feature of the Keychron Q7. It is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q7 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock. And we designed every component easily assembled, you can customize and adjust each component you want.

Overall, the Keychron Q7 70% Layout Hot-Swappable RGB Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a customizable, high-quality mechanical keyboard. Its QMK and VIA support, double-gasket design, and hot-swappable switches make it easy to adapt to your specific needs, while its RGB LED backlighting adds a touch of style and flair. Its durability, versatility, and ease-of-use make it a perfect choice for anyone who takes their typing seriously.
