‘The key switches have an immensely satisfying thwock’ — I reviewed Keychron’s gratifyingly clacky keyboard and it’s a beautifully constructed but hefty beast that I'm loving for my home office

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
TechRadar Verdict The Keychron Q1 Ultra 8K is the fanciest version of Keychron's 75%-scale keyboard, delivering a premium typing experience thanks to its high-end metal construction and Silk POM key switches. It's compact enough to work great for users with limited desktop real estate, but the all-metal build means it's not ideal for taking with you on the go despite its multiple connectivity options. It also offers an 8K polling rate for minimizing latency; a nice boost, but probably overkill for all but the most hardcore users.
