What's the little bump on the right side for? It's a little odd.

The smart dial. It is described in the article.

Not the dial, the bump on the side.

Hi! That's a dongle compartment for storing the 2.4GHz dongle. It magnetically snaps into place — very handy.

Okay so first I am all about keeps but you say this is better than the V1. First Keychron has way better legends, and supports QMK/VIA. This keyboard has trash legends and does not support VIA. It does have 2.4GHz support though which is great. I would also like to hear how this thing sounds.

Suppose I don't remap my keyboards very often - is that the main draw of QMK/VIA? I've been looking at the Keychron and this alternative caught my eye too!

Remapping keys is only the most basic functionality of QMK. I use the tap dance functions all the time as well as key layers, autocorrect, auto shift and macros. I won't even consider a keyboard without it.
