The video compares Kyron's two flagship 75% custom keyboards, the Kira Q1-H and Q1 Max, highlighting their design, key caps, switches, and customization options. The Q1-H features magnetic switches with customization through the Kyron launcher web app, while the Q1 Max offers traditional mechanical switches with more variety. Both keyboards share similar construction materials and features such as plate foam, batteries, and keycaps. The speakers discuss sound differences, key configurations, and the keyboards' open-source QMK firmware for macros and key remapping. The Q1 Max is recommended for its features, build quality, lighting, controls, and modifiability, with the H model being recommended for PC gaming specifically. The video concludes by recommending the Q1 Max as a solid option and suggests checking out the Q1-H if you prefer linear switches.

In this segment of the video, the narrator compares Kyron’s two Flagship 75% custom keyboards, the q1 H and q1 Max. The keyboards are very similar in design, with the same aluminum body and dimensions. Both keyboards have hot-swappable keys, wireless connectivity options, and similar performance specs. The key difference lies in the key caps, with the q1 H having Osa key caps and the q1 Max having KSA key caps. The KSA key caps are taller and more sculpted, making typing without a palm rest potentially more challenging. Most users may prefer the standard Osa key caps of the q1 H.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the differences between the Kira Q1-H and Max keyboards. The Kira Q1-H features hall effect or magnetic switches, while the Max uses traditional mechanical switches. The magnetic switches provide continuous readings, allowing for customization of switch positions and actions. The Kyron launcher web app allows for additional customization of the Q1-H’s magnetic switches, while the Max can be configured with Gaton Jupiter red, brown, or banana switches. The Q1-H only comes with Gaton’s double rail magnetic nebula switches.

In this segment of the video, it is highlighted that the Q1 Max keyboard offers more switch options due to its mechanical technology compared to the Q1 H, which only works with Gon’s double rail magnetic switches. Both keyboards share similar construction, including plate foam, acoustic case foam, pet film, and latex pad, as well as 4,000 mAh batteries. The Q1 H has an aluminum plate, while the Q1 Max has a polycarbonate one. The Q1 Max includes a standard ISPE switch pad, which is not present in the Q1 H due to the magnetic switches. The PCB of the Q1 H is simpler than that of the Max as it uses small hall effect sensors. The keyboards have the same stabilizers, antennas, and microcontroller chip. The video also delves into sound comparisons between the Q1 H and Max with different switch options.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the available keyboard configurations and sounds, emphasizing the linear switches’ smoothness and minor pressure differences with the magnetic switches. They note the slight differences in sound between the Q1 and MAX models, with the MAX being louder due to larger keycap volume. The H model is described as more muted in sound compared to the MAX, which is crisper and higher-pitched. Both keyboards use KSA keycaps, with the MAX having an acoustic advantage. The video also mentions the keyboards are built on open-source QMK firmware, allowing key remapping and macros via a Kyron repository. The Q1 H features customizable key actuation distances through the H mode.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the Q1 Max and H keyboards features. The Holifa switches offer customizable settings including trigger effects and key mapping options. The H mode allows adding up to four commands to a single key based on different positions. The keyboards support controller emulation and joystick sensitivity curves for gaming. Profiles for switch configurations are stored, and adding profile switch buttons to the keymap is recommended. The Keyron launcher is a good alternative to configure keymaps and macros, check firmware updates, and view informative infographics. The Q1 Max and H keyboards are praised for their build quality, lighting, controls, and modifiability. The H keyboard with its advanced features like tunable actuation distance and rapid triggers is recommended, especially for PC gaming.

In this segment of the video, the speaker recommends the Q1 Max as a solid keyboard option with a variety of features, but mentions that it comes with KSA key caps. They suggest checking out the H model if you prefer linear switches, as it is a cost-effective option compared to purchasing a set of Osa key caps separately.
