  • Pretty good, but switches are not swappable
Color: Gateron Brown Switch
LAYOUT I tried several Keychron keyboards, and I think this has the best layout and probably the second-best witches (Gatheron brown). The layout is excellent because it is still relatively compact, but I can find everything I need quickly without looking. I also tried the K4, and while having the numeric pad is sometimes useful, I always messed up with the arrow keys. If you need the numeric pad, go for the K10, it is massive but has a great layout. If you want a ten-key less, I think this is the best possible layout. BUILD The build quality is excellent: very solid and quite heavy. Not the most portable, but when I am not at my dest I'll use my laptop keyboard (which feels like crap now that I got used to a proper keyboard..) SWITCHES (BROWN) The brown switches are pretty good. I also tried the blue ones, but they are incredibly clicky. I mean, if you are working alone, I guess you get used to it after a while, but if you share your office with someone else, I think they will hate you and secretly (or not so secretly) wish you lose all your fingers in a woodworking accident. Back to the brown switches, they are relatively quiet if you learn not to bottom out. You can feel in your fingers when they actuate (instead of hearing a click like with the blue ones). I just wish they offered a bit more resistance. I really have to concentrate if I want not to bottom out while typing. That is why I wanted to try to swap them for Gatheron black switches, which offer a bit more resistance, and this is when I found out that this particular model's switches are not hot-swappable. If you buy directly from Keychron, this same model will be 6$ less than on Amazon (89, instead of 95), and the one with hot-swappable switches is just 4$ more (99, instead of 95). I wish I had bought it directly from Keykhron! Anyway, now I am stuck with these switches, so I'll try to make the best of them and see if I can learn not to bottom them out without thinking too much about it. BATTERY The battery life is pretty good. I usually keep the light at the minimum setting (but not zero), and I have to charge probably once every two/three weeks. This while I am at the computer 8-9 hours a day. Between emails and my current translation project, I'll spend at least 3 of those hours just typing. The rest of the time, I'll be on tasks where I use the keyboard only for shortcuts, like editing videos or things like that. CONNECTION The Bluetooth connection works very well; I never had any issue pairing with my Mac. My only complaint is that when I wake up my computer, it does not register the first stroke, so I'll have to remember to type the first letter of my password two times. When I was using the Magic Keyboard from Apple, I did not have this issue. Anyway, not enough to want to switch back to those crappily shallow and mushy keys! RGB LIGHT I guess I could have saved a few bucks and gone without or just gotten the white one. At the end of the day, it's just for show. There are a ton of different possible effects. Most of them are just distracting, some are kind of cool, but I don't look at my keyboard while typing unless I'm fishing for some seldomly used symbol, so really, what's the point? It would have been cool if there was a way to configure the lights, this could have helped remember some shortcuts. Anyway, in the grand scheme of things, I don't think saving those few bucks would have made any difference in my life, and sometimes, when I am working or playing videogames at night, the changing lights on my keyboard can be a delight, so going back I would still get the RGB version. GET (OR MAKE) A GOOD PALM REST! And please don't use the feet. I mean, unless you don't type that much or wish to feel pain in your wrists... Mechanical keyboards are great for your fingers, but they are much taller and will make your bend your wrists too much if you rest your palms on the desk or cause much fatigue in your wrists and shoulders if you keep the wrists at the correct angle by keeping your palms off of the desk. Keychron makes decent wood palm rests with the correct measures for each of their keyboards, but you can also do your own on the cheap by cutting a piece of wood to the correct size and sanding its edges (BTW, you want a 13x3x1 inches piece of wood for this keyboard). ... show more

  • This is the perfect programmer's keyboard. I literally just bought a second one.
Color: Gateron Blue Switch
I bought a second one so that I could keep it in my RV where I program and write when I'm on the road. Many modern keyboards seem to neglect the backslash \ key by making it small or combining it with the forward slash key. This keyboard has a large backslash key above the enter key. This is crucial if you're a programmer using a Windows PC. It also has a physical switch for Bluetooth or wired mode. This is very convenient for swapping my keyboard around from Bluetooth if I need to type on a device that I'm debugging and then right back to the PC where the development environment lives. I could do the same thing using the hotkeys that allow this keyboard to switch between multiple Bluetooth devices. That's nice if I want to answer my personal phone and use the keyboard to type with it while I have a debugging phone and the PC development environment all at the same time. It's much nicer than using a KVM switch to swap between various devices as we used to have to do. I know this is a gaming keyboard. The clicky keyboards remind me of the old-school IBM keyboards, but the feel is much lighter and less clacky because the switches activate before bottoming out. This keyboard may seem expensive compared to random keyboards you can find, but this is a quality piece of mechnical-electrical machinery which I will expect to use for 20 years or more. I bought a second one because I want a backup 30 years from now in case anything happens to the main keyboard that I'm using to type this right now. If you're going to learn to become accustomed to a particular keyboard layout for programming, it's really annoying to switch to another keyboard. So I want a backup just in case anything happens to my keyboard or the company that makes it. The small form factor is nice, too. I can actually shove it into the same laptop bag as my laptop. The option to become wireless (over Bluetooth) on a switch is a really nice versatile feature. When I'm in a desktop situation, I go with wired. If take my laptop with me, I can leave the wire in the bag and just use the wireless when I'm at a coffee shop or at a park. When I get back to a desktop, I simply reattach the USB-C wire that was included to recharge the keyboard. Being USB-C also allows me to use any connector I find lying around the office if I happen to forget to bring my own. I could do without all the gaming features of the glowing lights and stuff. But I understand that's their core market, not ancient programmers like me. However, I looked all around for an appropriate programmer's keyboard and couldn't find one. Despite being a gaming keyboard, this one checked off all of the requirements and then some for a programmers who is one the go. If you're a programming nomad, you will not find a better keyboard to suit your needs. ... show more
