Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It's a bit too tall for my tiny hands for typing but for playing 4k hovering works fine. It replaces a cheap logitech mouse+keyboard combo and my typing accuracy has improved a lot.

If you are looking for a wireless mechanical keyboard that is designed for macs, keychron is really hard to beat. My wired never drops. I have now paired it over bluetooth with my mbp and the linux machines, while i keep it connected to my pc with the...  Read More

Keycaps are easily changeable. Keyboard has a spacious layout.

The model i'm reviewing has a white adjustable backlight but they also make rgb hot-swappable versions that cost a bit more. The current keyboard on my desktop at home is a hyperx alloy fps pro tkl model with cherry red switches in it and single color...  Read More



Cons

Customer service at keychron are unprofessional and non existent as can be. The case has a weird angle and elevation. The keyboard is also fairly high profile which might require you to buy a wrist rest to type comfortably.

Quality


That may have more to do with the current state of my previous keyboard but the feeling is there nonetheless.


It feels fantastic, i got it with the mx blue’s and it’s honestly not as loud as people say, but it feels great.


While the high and the quality of the keycaps are an issue, they can be easily fixed.


The keyboard is good and i am pretty happy with the switches and build quality.

Price


The board looks awesome, it has a nice industrial orange/gray look to it with the stock keycaps.


Really reccommend if you want a good stock tkl keyboard or id you want to get into custom keyboardd building on a budget.


The stock keycaps are a bit cheap but i was planning to replace those anyway.

Packaging/appearance


I haven't tried hot-swapping the keys, but i'd like to switch out the gateron blues for some more clicky switches like the kailh jades.


The packaging and presentation of the keychron board are very good.


Note that the the keyboard does come with the orange version of the esc key and the mac option and command keys pre-installed, ...  Read More

Competitiveness


The height of the keyboard is a bit too much for me, so i have paired it with a hyperx wrist rest that i had lying around.


Still getting used to the gateron switches, but if i decide i don't like them i can always switch back to my preferred cherry reds.


The current keyboard on my desktop at home is a hyperx alloy fps pro tkl model with cherry red switches in it and single color ...  Read More


Also, tkl layout makes it easy to find replacement keycaps, compared to everything else in keychron's k series lineup.
