Keychron Q1
My Keychron K7 sparked an interest in keyboard modding, and my brother caught the bug too, buying us both the Keychron Q1 at US$169. I chose the fully-assembled Carbon Black base with Gateron Phantom Blue switches.

Keychron mechanical keyboards and cables, from the Q1 to the K7.
Keychron Coiled Aviator Cable
My Keychron K7's battery life was poor, not even lasting a work week, and waking from sleep often broke Bluetooth. I switched to wired use and added a Keychron Coiled Aviator Cable purely for looks.

Caught up in the Keychron hype, I immediately backed the Keychron K7 65% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard on Kickstarter. I pledged US$74 for the hot-swap, RGB-backlit, optical version; the project funded in August 2021 with over 5,000 backers.
