Pros & Cons
Pros
Even the key caps feel nice; good material and sound great to type on. Space bar is considerably louder/sharper sounding than all the other keys. I wish it was wireless and also included more padding so as to reduce the sound.
For typing it's 5/5, for gaming it's 4/5. If you are someone who does a lot of typing (a writer or a coder), do yourself a favor and get this keyboard.
There are many mods and features that people talk about like gasket mounting. It is easy to take apart and mod if you so wish. While you can do things to modify it, it's fairly amazing all by itself.
Typing on it right now feels silky smooth with a linear output to the touch. The v1 is instantly better after just using it for a few minutes! Though if you really want linears, the ones i'm using are the akko cream *.
This keyboard is definately worth the price. This board both satisfies the role as an entry level board and an enthusiast level board.
Cons
However, it is not compatible with via like it says.
Highlights
Quality
The keyboard seems very solidly built and i absolutely love the feeling of the keys and the key presses.
This keyboard is super sturdy, sounds incredible (aside from a bit of a loud space bar, but is fixed with some lube).
The build quality was horrible, the cheap plate didn't even fit into the case, and ultimately the pcb broke after about 6 months.
The quality of the keycaps, lights, cable, and switches is immaculate.
Price
- having a knob at this price point (and a rotary one at that) is just phenomenal.
I bought this because i was on a budget but wanted a good keyboard, the quality of the case feels smooth, south facing led, a k... Read More
All in all i invested $300+ into the keyboard and ended up with nothing.
Back then, unless you were willing to wait for a specialized keyboard that might take a year to get to you and could easily cos... Read More
Packaging/appearance
I opened the box, set it up, and used it like it came out of the box with nothing but pleasure ever since.
But then i got the keychron v1 (with red switches) and was blown away--by everything: the packaging, the palpable quality, and ... Read More
From the moment i pulled it out of the packaging and experienced its heft, its gravitas, i knew it was going to be my go-to key... Read More
Competitiveness
And i think keychron has definetly given the competition a run for their monies.
Multiple sources on reddit suggest that the brown switches are the best investment.
I've used many different companies corsair and razer.
I'm usually on linux and most companies don't release that type of software for linux.
