Keychron has released a limited premium version of its flagship wireless keyboard, the Q1 HE — Copper Edition. The main feature of the new model is its solid body machined from pure copper using CNC technology. This makes the keyboard one of the heaviest in the consumer market, and its price has doubled compared to the base version, reaching $499.

The Keychron Q1 HE Copper Edition comes in the popular 75% layout, with a copper case complemented by copper design elements and two sets of black-and-copper keycap kits, emphasizing its premium status.

• Material and Weight: The solid copper case has increased the keyboard’s weight to 4 kg.

• Connectivity: It supports 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB Type-C.

• Battery: A 4000 mAh battery provides up to 100 hours of use.

• Extras: Includes a programmable volume knob and screw-in stabilizers.

The keyboard retains its flagship gaming features thanks to the use of TMR magnetoresistive sensors:

• Snap Tap and Rapid Trigger: Technologies essential for esports, enabling keys to actuate instantly with minimal physical press.

• Dynamic Keystroke (DKS): Allows customization of actuation points.

The device runs on QMK firmware and supports the Keychron Launcher application for fine-tuning triggers, analog functions, macros, and the RGB lighting located on the underside of the case.
