I'm not sure how the pricing is across the pond, but here in the U.S. there are now quite a few really nice boards for almost half that price. They often come with just as much foam, better keycaps than Keychron is known for, etc. The budget board market is really good lately (and has been for this entire year so far), that these are more of the boards for people who aren't too deep into the whole keyboard scene, than they are the boards for those who are deeper into the hobby.

They are expensive in UK and europe too, but most of the high end boards like this Q series are in and around 200 euros/pounds mark. I guess you will always find cheaper alternatives for everything - law of diminishing returns and all that.

This Q series is expensive, over £200 when shipping - but they come from China, not inside the UK. so id be concerned about support. its why I never bought one,. I buy all my things from Amazon.

Whatever way you cut it, Keychron are expensive. Are they great? sure they are. Are they worth it? Thats the question we need to answer. Ive seen cheaper keyboards not far from potentially this quality, but as the thread starter said, you buy the bare bones and just add the keys you want later.

The keyboard I want from Keychron The Q65 Mac is £184 before shipping. Its just too much for me to be honest when I thought about it. and as some have said, I dont even know if they look after customers as they are based in China, and ship from China. Amazon stock some, but not the ones I like.

I have my Q1, but found it sounding a bit hollow. It has a great design for sure, but for some sound profiles, it needed more foam. The foam they added on the bottom is really thin imho and that could've been better. I also added extra tape to get rid of some case ping I experienced on the board. Other than that the spacebar and backspace where kind of hollow (depending on the keycap set). But some foam & tape fixed that as well. Easy to open up & mod I found. And I didn't have to do too much modding, which I liked.

That's a very nice looking board. I'm using a Rama Works Koyu, and I'm somewhat in the market for a 75% board as I miss my F1-F12 keys and there don't seem to be many good 75% kits. Only downside here is that their top legend keycaps don't match my color scheme at all (the side legend ones do, but I don't like side legend), and if I was going to go with the barebones and buy switches and keycaps, I may as well build a custom board at that point.
