\"The
Keychron<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You know, I was just looking for something like this the other day. Keychron just launched the S1 QMK mechanical keyboard<\/a>, a low-profile unit and the first product in Keychron\u2019s new S1 series. Starting at just $110 for a fully-assembled build, it\u2019s a pretty tempting offer.<\/p>\n

The Keychron S1 QMK comes in several configurations, with choices for\u00a0red, blue, or brown low-profile Gateron switches (plus options for white or RGB backlights). It features a 75% layout, meaning that there\u2019s no numpad, and a built-in riser lets you tilt the keyboard for increased ergonomics.<\/p>\n

Now, this stuff might sound kind of familiar to you. And that\u2019s because the S1 QMK is very similar to Keychron\u2019s low-profile Q1 keyboard<\/a>. Oddly enough, the only major difference is the build quality and presentation\u2014while the Q1 cuts a lot of corners, the new S1 QMK has an aluminum chassis and double-shot PBT keycaps.<\/p>\n

Note that this keyboard isn\u2019t wireless. Also, its switches aren\u2019t hot-swappable in the standard configuration. But these are minor drawbacks, and realistically speaking, the average keyboard user doesn\u2019t need to swap out any switches.<\/p>\n

The Keychron S1 QMK<\/a> is available today. It starts at $110 when you buy the fully-assembled model with a white backlight. Prices increase as you upgrade the keyboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
