Pros & Cons
Pros
The curved v4 keycaps is a bit of an advantage over the v3. My only complaint is not about the keyboard, but the shipping as it arrived with a hole in the box and busted up f8 keycap. The key caps are pretty good, for not being pbt, you can get pbt lo... Read More
Bluetooth and usb-c wired is great, and it charges fast. The blue is very light and the combination of click and very light tactile feedback is good. The keyboard has a switch to choose among three connectivity off-usb cable-bluetooth. It's not bad, b... Read More
Keyboard is great for typing on an ipad pro and a hp laptop. Switching between the two feels seamless, no issues with getting the typing feeling down.
The keychron k1 definitely meets the mark.
The lights are fantastic and very bright, easily readable by day or night. The different lighting patterns are great, although some more useable than others.
Cons
Keyboard is defective. I have to reboot the keyboard couple of times a week to have it reconnect after it falls asleep. Cannot cleanly switch off profiles.
Keychron seems to have a very poor qc. There really should be some sort of reimbursement or price reduction for receiving a used keyboard.

If the quality of them was poor, i could always return it.

Price
For the price the feel and quality of the keyboard is great.
I wanted to try a mechanical keyboard for the first time after using only scissor switch laptop keyboards for the longest time,... Read More
I used a super lube lube pen which only cost about $4, so a very cheap and easy modification.

Packaging/appearance
The product comes in a flat black box and is wrapped in matte plastic.
It came with a key extractor, and a few extra optional keycaps, some with colored tops and some with markings for apple or non-... Read More

Perhaps it's the make of the switches, perhaps it's the reduced stroke, but this is my only purchase with this brand keys so i cannot tell.
