Keychron Q60 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard

HHKB layout is the only keyboard type I am the most efficient with but missed adapting one to my own liking. When I purchased the Keychron Q60 MAX, I was nervous to open the box. I had big hopes for it. It exceeded my expectations especially for the price. The Banana switches surprised me as well, they are so pleasant to type. I was planning to replace stabilizers, film, lube, and whatever people do to make it better, but nothing needs to be done. It's just perfect.

I'll point one one negative thing that I had to fix right away. The stock keycaps aren't good at all. The print is inconsistent, one keycap was sitting a bit at an angle... But I wasn't disappointed much. I ordered "Ranked POM Jelly Premium Translucent Keycap Set in white - blanks". Oh boy.. The keyboard that makes me want to work and make money on my computer. So if you care about keycaps quality, consider getting a keyboard without them. The switches are great though. with the POM Jelly keycaps it's so creamy/thocky.

The only disadvantage of my original HHKB Type S keyboard that I loved to death, is the existence of Keychron Q60 lol. I mean it.

My dauger, who's also into HHKB layout would buy one instantly if you guys offered all black. I might buy one to quality spray, but no time for it now.

Great work Keychron.

This keyboard is my fourth Keychron keyboard. If you ask which of those keyboards is the best, I'd say the Q60 is by far the best. It has one of the best quality among mechanical HHKBs. In particular, it controls the noise that inevitably comes from the keyboard body well. Although I do feel that the price is a bit high, after receiving the product, I thought it was a reasonable price. Should I buy this keyboard? If you're considering an HHKB-style mechanical keyboard, I recommend it.

It's been a week since I started using this keyboard and so far, I'm really impressed!
The keyboard has a solid construction and a sleek, professional appearance. The typing sound is satisfying, and each keystroke feels stable and precise. Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a high-quality HHKB-layout keyboard.

Built mine with lubed and filmed 65g Gazzew U4T and GMK keycaps, it sounds and feels amazing.
The firmware from QMK repo compiled perfectly with via layout and the switch at the back of the board makes it really easy to swap layouts depending on the computer you use it on or just for swapping layouts.

The stabs did have a little ticking issue due to the 7u spacebar which was fixed with a holee mod and some dielectric grease.
i used the already installed gaskets, and the pins inside to align the plate are really a nice touch

more colours would be a plus but the off-white greyish one is pretty good for a retro build or something else

overall very good kit, would recommend

Just got mine! Build quality is super nice, went with brown switches, they lubed them decently. Planning on swapping them out for some kiwi's but i might roll with them for a bit. Took me a min to figure out how to remap with VIA as i've always only used QMK. If it doesn't show up in VIA for you make load the keymap json they provide and turn on V2 then go to the board and you'll see it. Only gripe is really with the default mapping there were no arrow keys mapped, but that was easy to correct. Board sounds really good too.
