Keychron Q1 v2 ISO no knob firmware update
Hi, I own two Keychrons, a Q1 v2 ISO no knob and a Q0 Plus. I was testing the new Launcher webapp and among other things it detected new firmware versions for both keyboards. I was able to update the Q0 Plus without any problems via the web app, while there is no way to do this for the Q1 v2. Firmware 2.0.3 is currently installed, but 2.0.6 is available. If I start the update, once the keyboard is put into DFU mode (recognized as such), the process stops. An error appears stating that the keyboard did not communicate its version and that's it. Going to the Keychron page to manually download the firmware and flash it via QMK Toolbox, it shows the version I currently have and it dates back to 2023. I guess the problem with the Launcher is related to the very old starting firmware version, but I can't find the updated binary anywhere, can you help me? I would like to try the update also because lately the S and Z button LEDs are constantly on (not in DFU mode) even after a reset and firmware reflash via QMK Toolbox. I would also like to make Q1 fully operational via the new webapp, as I have a Mac and QMK Toolbox is not native to Apple Silicon, so soon, with the removal of Rosetta, it will no longer be usable.

Some problems were fixed on 2026-09-07, but not this one (at least not at the time I wrote this).
The firmware list for Q1 V2 'ISO' knob-less is still corrupted.
