Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The keyboard feels amazing, it’s kinda heavy but the keys are amazing.

People who say otherwise are too lazy to find it. If you just need a keyboard to be a keyboard then this is outstanding. This is my first mechanical keyboard so i have no frame of reference.

I have the red switches and they're movement is smooth with light steady resistance. Secondly, this keyboard has the brown switches. This is my first linear keyboard as i usually usually tactile or brown switches.

The red leds are bright with a good selection of patterns to choose from. It also looks pretty rad with the red * and the lighting.

Bought on sale for under thirty dollars. Very inexpensive. For $30, it's definitely worth it. As a software engineer it's the tool of my trade.



Cons

Keyrate on this model is set at the lowest level (too slow for most users) the c key requires a significant amount of pressure to register. The keyrate question is akin to asking a car salesman where the gas pedal is located.

Quality


Great keyboard, sounds nice, feels nice, and functions well.

Price


For a budget keyboard, this is excellent.


It's definitely the best at this price point.


Typically a keychron with these features is well over $100, this was under $40 the box that the keyboard was in was used to ship it.


Yes, it really is an rgb hotswap keyboard for $30 (prime day price).

Shipping


For all i know the gash was there at time of shipping.

Packaging/appearance


There were several dents and a gash on the box, not so large that anything could fall out.


If they had put packing tape over it, i would have been less concerned when opening.


I probably got double digit wpm increase just opening the box.

Competitiveness


This keyboard beats out my $100+ keyboard with the exact same form factor from a leading competitor and is a fraction of the price.


Better than most computer company standard issue keyboards.


I've been trying to find a good mechanical keyboard that didn't break the bank and had been told this brand was one of the bett...  Read More


I've tried a few now, most far more expensive than this one, and i keep coming back to the c3 pro - it's kind of minimalist wit...  Read More
