Pros

It's a good non-enthusiast board. The build quality feels like this keyboard will last awhile. Build quality feels nice, sturdy, and weighty.

It’s the best one for a midrange. Still, it's worth mentioning.

Frankenswitch is a cross between a gateron milky yellow and brown switch. At first i thought the rgb lighting was gimmick, after using it for awhile, it just adds to the experience. It has turned me onto brown switches, this is my first time using bro...  Read More

    This forces me to have it always plug because if i allow it to go out of battery i get keyboardless


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can pick from several colors and animations but there is no way to further customize colors animations etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is no official software from keychron that will allow you to customize any of the rgb effects so make sure you do your research beforehand on what colors and animations youll have access to
