Smaller than a coin, stronger than ever—Q1 V2 fuses magnetic ease with mechanical security for instant one-handed access to your daily
Check on Kickstarter
In our fast-paced urban lifestyles and outdoor adventures, we constantly struggle with organizing and quickly accessing keys, tools, and essential gear. Have you ever felt frustrated trying to detach a key or tool at a critical moment? Or missed an important opportunity because your keys were tangled and chaotic?
Traditional quick-release connectors typically have two major drawbacks:
- Magnetic connectors: Easy to use, but weak and unreliable. They fail under heavy loads, detach easily, and often lead to lost keys or valuable items.
- Mechanical connectors: Secure and strong, but difficult to operate quickly—usually requiring two hands, making them inconvenient for everyday quick access.
To solve these daily frustrations, we’ve spent extensive time and effort refining our designs through rigorous prototyping and real-world testing. The result is our revolutionary EDC connector: Q1 V2.
Why Choose Q1 V2?
- Innovative Magnetic-Mechanical Dual Lock
Unlike conventional magnetic connectors, Q1 V2 ingeniously merges the convenience of magnets with the security of mechanical locks. It automatically and securely locks when brought near, and releases effortlessly with a gentle pull—eliminating any risk of accidental detachment and lost items.
- Single-Handed Operation – Instant Release
Integrated with precision-aligned, high-strength N52 magnets, Q1 V2 automatically locks with just a simple approach. Releasing your items is as easy as lightly pulling on the outer shell—true single-handed convenience.
- Exceptional Load Capacity & Durability
Crafted from premium Grade 5 aerospace titanium, the Q1 V2 weighs only a few grams yet confidently holds up to 75kg (165lbs)for daily use. While it has passed rigorous load tests up to 158 kg (348 lbs), we recommend a safe working load of 150 lbs for optimal performance and longevity. Whether you’re out in the wild or navigating the city, trust Q1 V2 for secure and reliable everyday carry.
- Ultra-Lightweight & Compact
Designed smaller than a coin, Q1 V2 comes in various ultra-lightweight options:
Titanium: only 7.6g / Aluminum: only 5.7g / POM & PEI: only 5.6g
Its minimalist footprint seamlessly fits into your pocket or bag, offering maximum convenience without added bulk.
- 360° Infinite Rotation – Zero Tangling
Unique infinite rotation capability completely resolves tangled keys and items, providing smooth, trouble-free operation no matter what you’re carrying.
- Robust Protection for Long-Term Use
Precision-engineered titanium casing securely encloses the magnets, providing effective long-term protection against damage or accidental loss—ensuring lasting reliability through heavy daily use.
- Powerful N52 Magnet – Extra Convenience
With integrated powerful N52 magnets, easily attach separated keys or EDC gear to any magnetic surface for quick storage and accessibility.
- Tritium-Compatible Version – Personalize Your Q1 V2
We’re offering a special tritium-compatible version of the Q1 V2, allowing you to further customize your carry experience. You’ll have the option to select this version during the Kickstarter survey!
The Q1 V2 Tritium-Compatible version supports up to six 1.5mm × 6mm tritium tubes.
- Q1 V2 Key Organizer – Streamlined Key Management
We’ve combined the efficient, quick-release functionality of the Q1 V2 into a dedicated Key Organizer version. This innovative solution provides fast, intuitive access and neatly organizes your keys—making everyday carry simpler and more convenient than ever!
What’s the Difference: Q1 V2 vs. Q1 V1 vs. Q1 V2 S?
- Q1 V2: Fully upgraded for effortless one-handed use, automatically locking upon proximity and quickly released with a gentle pull—fast, secure, and convenient.
- Q1 V1: Requires manual locking action by sliding—does not feature automatic locking; relatively less intuitive and efficient.
- Q1 V2 S: Miniature version of Q1 V1—smaller and more portable but also lacks automatic locking; requires manual operation to secure.
Whether you prioritize ultimate convenience or prefer a compact design, the Q1 series offers the perfect solution tailored to your needs.
