Pros & Cons
Pros
Only real downside for me is the lack of dedicated media controls. Planning to try it out on my tablet and notebook at some point. I'm not sure if there is a way around this if you are using it wired.
I prefer the osa profile keycaps by keychron. The grey keycaps with white letters are easier to read during the day.
At night, they glow a soft blue--more like a blueish-white or robin blue--which is less straining to the eye. The rgb patterns and light shows go way beyond anything i'd use. There are some neat rgb effects, though you're limited to what's already onb... Read More
They sound clicky, unexpectedly so given their definite tactile response. But the overall effect is complimentary. There's just a little bit of that tactile bump without feeling too clicky.
The k4 is sturdy. Works well, feels sturdy, bluetooth is stable with my mbp. The aluminum frame gives it a feel equal to that of some $200 counterparts i've tried.

This is very tedious to use without an palm rest and is poorly designed.
Price
Really an amazing value for the price.
Great price and great board for customizing .
The cord isfor a $100 keyboard - this is good, but not great.
Only real downside for me is the lack of dedicated media controls, but that is the price you pay for a smaller footprint.
Competitiveness
The aluminum frame gives it a feel equal to that of some $200 counterparts i've tried.
The typing experience has been wonderful - i have used apple's own keyboard and i like this much better.
There are better options out there but nothing at this price point and nothing that has mac native capabilities that i’ve seen.
Don't listen to wirecutter and others who say there are no good cheap bluetooth mech boards - get this one.

Quality of build very skookum construction

But that solid build comes at a cost namely the thickness and weight of the entire unit itself

As others have pointed out in reviews and pictures its lowest key cap height is relatively high due to the frame bulge of internal components protruding from the bottom

This will easily require most people to consider a well thought out wrist rest for any extended use
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I almost wouldnt have minded a more exposed design where the bezel doesnt come up above the bottoms of the key caps as much so as to assist in easier air blow cleaning without removing key caps until absolutely necessary

Led backlight the backlighting is sufficient though i am really bummed that no dedicated light toggle of any sort was designed for the num lock keys
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
A firmware update introduced a very welcome caps lock backlit indicator but this was not done for the num lock for some reason
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I can only assume thats because they linked the clear operation as a second function to the num lock key
