Keychron Q1+V1 MAX - Audio Comparison (ALL Jupiter Switches)

Keychron has upped its offerings with its new lineup of MAX keyboards... Ahead of my full review comparing the new Q1 Max and the V1 Max, I wanted to share this audio sample for each keyboard with the Red, Brown and Banana Jupiter switches. Enjoy!

What do you want to know from my more complete comparison?
So far I'm thinking of highlighting differences in:
- Case Construction
- Internal Construction
- Keycap profiles
- Sound (repeated for completeness)
- Connectivity modes (+ maybe range?)
- Battery life? (I wouldn't expect differences here, so not sure if it's necessary)

What else would you want to know?

V1 Jupiter Red: 0:50
V1 Jupiter Brown: 1:11
V1 Jupiter Banana: 1:25

Q1 Jupiter Red: 1:39
Q1 Jupiter Brown: 1:53
Q1 Jupiter Banana: 2:07

Thank you! Just ordered the Q1 Max with Jupiter Banana. Love that sound and resistance. Appreciate your efforts and video as it helped me make decisions. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for this comparison... I was waiting for this... I already ordered a shell white Q1 Max with red switches and a set of OSA keycaps... Haven't received them yet but it feels a good choice already

The sound difference between the Max and Pro is quite big, which I didn't expect. Thanks for the review

Great video! Originally I was going to order the V1 as it’s going to be my first mechanical keyboard but once I saw it was wired I decided against. Didn’t want to spend so much on my first keyboard but that q1 max in white with the banana switches looked and sounded amazing!!! I’ll drop my review on it once i get it lol. Thanks! Looking forward to your full review as well!!! Subbed!!!

[damian_madmansnest]

just got my V1 max with 🍌switches today. it’s my first mechanical keyboard and it feels ideal.

I just ordered the v1 max. Thanks for the comparison

[Eckathor]

Which color switch feels the most like a membrane keyboard?

[al-dulb]

Did you notice that the v5 max has a slightly different layout than the q5 max? I'm a cheapskate, so i think I'm going to get the v5 max, but I do like the layout of the q5 max slightly better.

What's the difference in noise level between the browns and bananas? Are the bananas louder?

I have the Gateron Pro Browns right now and it's interesting because I feel like they have just the minimal amount of tactility and are very smooth (almost like reds) otherwise. And they are quite quiet which I like now. I

looking forward for the full review, especially the connectivity options, if possible can you explain how the duel receivers for on V series (Type-A Type-C) What happens if both are plugged into different devices at the same time :) thank you in advance

I think both sound great, but I love the plastic resonance of the V1. I bought the V3 Max a few days ago - really looking forward to it! I think plastic keyboards sound great. I do really enjoy hollowness.

[duckyz]

I have tried Jupiter Reds and really like them, how do they compare with J Bananas? Really like smooth buttery feel of Reds, wonder if Banana lose that with their tactile early bump?

[starbase]

If the V1 Max with the knob had an End key I’d probably order it. Seriously, I don’t get it: Home without End.

Those remind me of the old keyboards from the 1980's. How can you stand the high square keys and the clicking?

[rafsunrahman]

The only difference between V1 max and q1 max is the case material? Is the q1 worth over double the price over v1?

[kittellmusic]

Q1 Max sounds quite nicee, gj keychron

[Ghostfacex]

Ordered the yellow gateron Jupiter switches with a new v1. This is my first setup and coming from a Logitech Mx keyboard. You think this setup is good for work?

[eriksanchez]

Where is that thump sound coming from on the max? The space bar ?
