My first board was a Q2. Absolutely love it.

I have a Q2 precisely because it was good out of the box. But as someone who hasn’t modded or anything - what am I missing out on by keeping everything as it came?

I think hippio did a good video on what can be done reasonably with it... https://youtu.be/q5A3sR-W9-E

I've got a Q1 and, though it's not the same board, I did the force break and tempest mods to it because the board sounded kinda hollow and metal pingy, and now I'm happier than anyone with it

Yeah I put my first keeb together and did sound tests comparing it Tempest Tape Modded and Stock and it makes a massive difference. Maybe do the Holee mod or Band Aid mod to the stabs or just lube them yourself.

What are those caps?

They are the stock caps from that colorway

Very nice! I so want that colorway in that set. I just received the OEM version but I prefer the Keychron OSA profile.

I got a Q5 a few months ago and it sounded and felt great. I started replacing the switches and trying out various keycaps and profiles.

I will say the Q2 is the best out of the box board I've ever had
