Features

  • QMK/VIA software support: QMK / VIA is open-source software for keyboards that allows anyone to program and remap each key easily and quickly. You can personalize your own keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more.
  • Gasket mount design: The C3 Pro uses a gasket mount structure to reduce sound resonance while adding more typing flexibility. Along with the sound-absorbing foam and the case foam, it provides you with a quieter and smoother typing experience.
  • 1000 Hz polling rate & NKRO: Empowered by the high- performance ARM architecture MCU with 256KB Flash, it provides a 1000 Hz polling rate for a fast and responsive typing speed in your working and gaming. The NKRO feature is convenient to help you enter multiple keypresses at a time.
  • Easy toggle between macOS and Windows: Press the key combo FN + CAPS to instantly change the keyboard working system to Mac / Win. And it accommodates universal keycaps compatible with both systems.
  • Shine-through double-shot ABS keycaps: Made through the ABS double-shot process, the keycaps are durable and wear-resistant. Meanwhile, the shine-through legends lit up by the north-facing LED present a glamorous look at your fingertips. And you can also switch from more than 14 types of red backlights.

  • Fantastic for the price.
Color: Red Switch
This mechanical keyboard is fantastic for the price! I had a Logitech G413 that was starting to jitter and repeat keypresses and I needed a decent replacement at a cheap price until I could get around to cleaning the contacts on my G413 switches. This keyboard turned out to be perfect for that. I love it so much more than the G413 and I paid nearly 3 times as much for that keyboard when I first bought it! Got it same-day delivery as well, thanks Amazon! I bought the Red Switch version (doesn't refer to the color of the keyboard, but the kind of switches the keys have; all models are black and red keycaps). The red switch version is supposed to be the quieter version compared to the brown. I don't have the brown switch version to compare to so I can't speak for it, but if you prefer your keys have more of a "clickty-clack" sound and that they require a bit more pressure to push, then you should buy the brown switch version, so I'm told. I like the Red Switch version a lot and it's supposed to be quieter, but I will admit that the keys are super easy to press which makes accidental presses more likely. Probably makes typing a bit faster though. The switches in the keyboard are not hot-swappable (board is fully soldered), but there should be no surprise there, given the price. The keycaps are fine, the (only) red backlighting looks nice, and the build quality feels great. The backlighting has 14 different modes you can toggle, using Fn+Q or Fn+PauseBreak keys, or you can turn the back light off entirely with Fn+TAB. I did get the VIA software working with this keyboard, but it does take extra work. This model keyboard hasn't been merged into VIA upstream yet, so you have to turn the "Design" tab on in VIA settings, download a json file from KeyChron's website, and load that into the VIA software in the Design tab on your browser tab. Once I did that, the keyboard was fully programmable. I programmed the right-hand side of the keyboard to function as a num-pad when layer 3 is on (which was nice because this keyboard is TKL, meaning no num-pad). Keyboard Layers 0 and 1 are for Mac and Layers 2 and 3 are for windows. VIA takes some getting used to as I hadn't used it before, but after some experimenting, it worked and I was able to program macros, swap caps-lock for the control key, do the num-pad programming I mentioned, etc. I did get myself stuck one time and some Googling showed me that the keyboard could be reset by holding ESC down while plugging the keyboard in, releasing ESC, and unplugging and replugging the keyboard. That reset all of my keys to defaults. The manual also mentions using Fn+J+Z to reset, but I haven't tried that myself. Having so much programmability in the keyboard is great! I just wish there were more indicators, like something which showed which layer was currently active. You can make your keyboard pretty unusable if you're not careful with the programming, so for novices it's probably best to watch a few YouTube videos. Of course, the programmability is completely optional. You can simply use it stock if you prefer. For the price, it's practically impossible to go wrong, as the cost of so-called midrange mechanical keyboards is 3-4x the price of this. It's worth getting just to have a backup mechanical keyboard around the house. I think it's better than my G413 and that keyboard still goes for more than $90 last I checked! ... show more

  • Great quite mechanical keyboard for the price
Color: Red Switch
This keyboard has a good blend of customization, performance, and premium features usually found in pricier mechanical keyboards. I find it very good value for the money. Pros: – QMK/VIA support allows for full key remapping and macro creation, truly personalizing your experience. – Keys feel good. The gasket mount design and sound-absorbing foam provide a soft and quiet typing experience. – 1000 Hz polling rate and NKRO ensure good low-latency performance, great for gaming. – Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux. – Great features at a very competitive price point. Cons: – Lacks wireless connectivity, but I prefer wired so not an issue for me. – Backlight is red, not RGB (which I don't like anyways) – ABS keycaps vs PBT. Overall, if you're looking for a highly customizable, high-performing wired mechanical keyboard with a premium typing feel without breaking the bank, this one is a solid choice. I would highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Great budget mechanical keyboard
Color: Red Switch
This was definitely a great find - especially considering that it’s from a well known mechanical keyboard company (instead of the 10000 other similarly priced Chinese dropship products). This product is much better than the first mechanical keyboard I bought on amazon that was even more expensive which I returned. The keyboard feel very well made and is the perfect size for me. It also looks more expensive then it actually is. It’s a wired keyboard and have noticed no lag in typing. The only reason why I took away one star is because one, it is unfortunately not hot swappable and two, it seems like the keys are quite sensitive so I have definitely had some times of having a key pressed that I didn’t mean to (although that might just be something I need to adjust to) I have only had it for about a week so I can’t speak on the durability, but so far I’ve had no issues and would definitely recommend this to someone. ... show more
