I just found that they have 2.4 GHz connection in this keyboard. Lovely! I wish my Keychron had that, I hope they continue adding 2.4 GHz in future keyboards.
x7 is not too old )))
I do appreciate a good keyboard. I'm still working with a 25 year old full-size mechanical one. I have tried some others over the years, and I use other keyboards on route or e.g. when I'm lying on the couch. But for daily work I like the old one best. It's simply the most comfortable for me. Fun fact: I got it for free back then (and I still have two spares — the company I worked for received too many and was about to dump them). $ 220 for a single keyboard? Software developers seem to be the new gamers. 😆
great video 🙂 can’t wait for mine
the major flaw is that isnt ISO
Dear keyboard designers, please never ever mess with keyboard layouts. Our fingers know exactly where each keys is located. So do not move the keys around, please.
I miss 1970s keyboards that only had enough keys to enter machine code in hexadecimal. 🙂
I need a poster for my office: "I want more type strictness… punish me!!!"
Honestly for me I see to functionalities for the nob: 1) scrolling code/web page 2) in text editor increase font size (this can be really useful from time to time :P)
• Major cons for me: Odd placement of F1, small return key, no “right-click” key.
• General comment: Keyboard and screen are the most important components (interfaces) when working. When buying a laptop, I always use the keyboard layout as “filter” for excluding products. The same goes for external keyboards … I hate to have to reprogram my muscle memory when switching between laptop keyboard and an external keyboard.
That's a coincidence as I know a few developers with major floors
I use the knob for scrolling and that is amazing. Don’t have to move my hand to the mouse anymore!
I have the southpaw version of the keyboard and love it. If you want it to be even quieter, you can get rubber rings to cushion the clickety clack. Great board and it's rare that you can get such quality with such customizability.
Keychron in general is great – all of their keyboards are great – would never swap if not for RSA.
On Apple (en) keyboards, there is a picture and label on each of the Command, Option, and Control keys. This keyboard shows either the picture or the label, but not both. This is a puzzling, backwards step.
Hmmm, it looks as though it has a Home key but no End key. I would need an End key!
I am using a Keychron V1 keyboard with a knob. You can create and bind macros to navigate through your VSCode tabs or open VSCode by pressing the knob.
The only issue is that you need to add a delay to your macros before text input. Otherwise, the command might start entering before the prompt tool opens.he only issue is that you need to add a delay to your macros before text input.

I bought myself a Keychron Q1 Pro last year, then put lubed Akko CS Lavender Purple switches and Panda keycaps on it. Now its perfect, such a pleasure to type. The KSA profile keys which comes standard with Q Pro/Max are a bit too tall, the Akko MDA turned out to be a greater fit.
I also use keyboards without numeric keypad. And I also prefer Cherry Blue keys. Clickety click click 😉
I am waiting for a Lemokey model to arrive, and want to see if the rotary knob can be used in debugging, maybe to step into/over and toggle a breakpoint
This channel is getting boring… 🥲
5:02 If you prefer a large Enter key, you should get the Nordic layout, as it always includes a big Enter button. You can then reprogram it to suit your layout if you don't need the Swedish characters ö, ä, and å.
