Product Description:
Keychron Q9-C1 40% Red Switch RGB Wired Mechanical Keyboard - Carbon Black
The Q9 are 40% ultra-mini all-metal custom keyboards ideal for various situations and will upgrade your typing experience. With full aluminum CNC machined body, double-gasket design, and QMK/VIA support, they are the ultimate choice for ultra-mini keyboards.
Features:
A Refined Piece Of Metal Art:
The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q9.
All-Around Customizable Keyboard:
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want.
Double Gasket Design:
The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard:
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
OSA Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps:
For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
Switch layouts between MacOS & Windows:
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron Q9 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Program Q9 With QMK & VIA:
With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.
Hot-Swappable:
The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.
South-Facing RGB LED Lights:
The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.
Pre-Lubed Gateron G Pro & Keychron K Pro Switches:
By optimizing the switch mold, these Pro switches wobbles less than the standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed switches will ensure the best fingertip smoothness.
All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers:
The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q9 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock.
