Pros & 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.
Highlights
Quality
Great keyboard, sounds nice, feels nice, and functions well.
This is a very easy to use keyboard, changing the switching is an optional item, the original switches respond just fine.

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
