Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The keyboard comes with windows keycaps and osx keycaps. It also comes with a usb-c to usb-a adapter keycap puller and switch puller. It comes with extra esc keycaps if you don't like the orange one it comes with.

A mechanical keyboard newbie, this keyboard is wonderful to type on. Switches and stabilizers feel buttery smooth to me, but i'm comparing it to the cheap scissor-mechanism keyboards i'm used to. I think tactile is definitely my thing, though i don't ... Read More

The keys aren't scratchy, have just the right amount of not too loud but not too quiet. The only downsides are noticible ping noises when some keys are bottomed out, keycap and stabilizer rattle.

The c1 is slightly louder. Overall, the combination of all these factors kind of gives this keyboard a more muted, balanced sound of both thocc and clack. It feels so smooth and not as loud as the cherry mx brown.

Hot-swappable feature means a noob like me can try different switches without having to solder, if i were so inclined. No lubing is necessary, nor is any modification.

Cons

These are in fact way more linear than tactile. I know theses a gateron browns but please don't advertise them as tactile browns like mx cherry browns.

Quality

Everything is solid and high quality; no creaks either.

Great feel, good keystroke touch, and portable.

The key caps were so flimsy that several broke during routine typing, and it is not unusual to have a cap fly off the board if ... Read More

Worst of all it could not handle typing words with two identical characters in a row at normal typing speed (took, week, attack, etc.

Price

I got a good bargain by purchasing used, so i paid only $51--at that price it really can't be beat.

Its at a very good price for a hot swappable tkl keyboard.

For the price this is absolutely a home run.

The fact that this keyboard is only $60 is incredible.

Shipping

I didn’t buy this through amazon - i got it direct from keychron and i honestly paid too much for shipping.

The surprises started when the package arrived.

Packaging/appearance

Packaging was incredibly premium too making it a great gift.

Also copped some purple keycaps from amazon which was a plus and replaced all the white keycaps.

What i receive (on the third attempt) is a shrink-wrapped box, containing:1 x keychron c1 keyboard (hot-swappable version)1 x u... Read More

It came with a red escape key installed, but included a black one to swap out, and it came with a black light key (upper right ... Read More

Competitiveness

I also have a logitech g pro and i like this better than that one.

Again, much better than the keychron k8, which came with thin laser etched abs caps.

I ordered a c1 and the k8 (the most expensive one) at the same time.

As for the keyboard itself, the key travel is much greater than stock wired detached keyboard from dell.
