5.0 out of 5 stars Early review, will update later - but is feels like a really good keyboard - so far

N.M. · October 18, 2024

I don't know if I've ever reviewed a product so soon after I got it (maybe an hour), but I'm making an exception here.I'd forgotten how BIG a Full Size keyboard actually is - it's pretty big, and an inch or two higher and wider than my previous keyboard - which was also supposed to be full size.The Keychron is a big keyboard, and it weighs about as much as a small laptop computer. BUT it's solid.Because it's wider, I have less of an issue with my fingers clumping together when I try to type. (My fingers span almost two octaves on a piano, so it's not real comfortable keeping them together to type on a laptop or small keyboard.I was looking for a keyboard with a solid feel and easy, accurate typing - and this seems to be it.Ii was looking for a keyboard with Bluetooth that can handle multiple devices (say, for example, an iPad, notebook computer, and Mac or phone). THIS ONE DOES IT.This particular keyboard can be customized. Downloadable software will let you remap keys and create macros (I haven't tried this yet). The keycaps can be removed, and even the switches under the keyboard can be changed.All things considered, the keys give good feedback and aren't too loud or clicky.I have a few issues with this keyboard:The keyboard came with a card (okay, a wide printed paper) that was completely unreadable to me. The fonts were just TOO SMALL. I went to the website to learn more about the keyboard, although this was also on the Bolo product page.Two switches on the back of the keyboard - one to switch between Bluetooth, Corded, and off, and the other to switch between Mac and Windows layouts - are also small and, to these eyes, have labels molded into the plastic that are also unreadable.Printing a manual that can be read by the user would be a nice touch.---A few things - one of the reviewers complained about the battery - and it almost seemed as if he thought it needed replacement when it ran out of power. This charges over a connection to the computer. It takes quite a while when the battery is fully empty.Another reviewer wanted more variety with the backlight -- there are keys that will scroll through a variety of lighting schemes. One turns the light off and on.This is a solid keyboard. It's easy (for me) to type on. I'll eventually change the keycaps from Mac to Windows (although this isn't usually necessary - I used a standard keyboard for years, remembering that the Windows and Options keys were in the same spot on the keyboard.Something I haven't seen on a keyboard until I got this one was a key that activated Siri or Cortana.After I've had a while to use this keyboard, I'll probably update this review. For now, I'm happy with this heavy hunk of keyboard. I don't expect this to change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality keyboard

Great quality keyboard. Typing on this feels nice and it isn’t super loud. Replaced a very expensive 260 dollar name brand keyboard that I had to RMA with this. Less than half the cost and similar features, just with plastic unlike my last. It’s definitely worth the 100$ price point. Style is basic but nixe.

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Brown Switch Full Keyboard From Keychron!

This keyboard is amazing!! Transitioning from Red Switches to Brown Switches has been a delightful experience. The tactile feedback provided by the Brown Switches is gratifying without being excessively loud or clicky like Blue Switches. And I love that the switches are also hot-swappable! The keycaps on this keyboard are another standout feature. They got a premium quality and provide a solid feel.I was pleasantly surprised by the user-friendly nature of the VIA software. Setting up and customizing my keyboard was easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy with my purchase

So far very happy with this keyboard. As others said, keyboard is hefty and lovely to type on. I'm new at the 'big boy' mechanical keyboards (keyboards in the $50 range were not doing it for me any more) - went with the brown switches, seemed to be the safe bet and happy did so. No plans to mod this keyboard but if I wanted to looks like there are many options if I decide to in the future. As other said (and I knew this before buying) the keycaps are not shine through. Not a deal breaker for me as I don't really look at it that much when typing. One question I could not find answered online - In addition to the windows keycaps (which were a breeze to install) I also got a single 'padlock' keycap in the bag. No idea where that's supposed to go... Anyone know?

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid built keyboard

R. · October 12, 2024

Nice keyboard. It has a nice solid feel to it. It can try twisting and it does a good job of resisting a twist. It doesn't feel flimsy. The keys are quiet. There's some noise but they aren't click clacky loud. The pressure and stroke of this is allowing me to type faster.The only complaint I had is that the cable it came with is rather short. It left the cable hanging in the air. I don't like that I don't want any undue pressure on the USB connectors. So I ended up buying another cable that was about 15 inches longer.The instructions are okay. The only thing now is to see how long this keyboard will last. At least the keyboards are easily replaced. De-soldering isn't required.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best keyboard I have ever owned .... by far

As stated in the title. I am in tech, I have used 10's of different keyboards and this is the best keyboard I have ever used. The keys are comfortable to use, the mechanical feel is great. Solidly made. I am super impressed by this keyboard and loving every minute on it. Highly recommended.

Incredibly nice, highly recommend

Quiet, tactile, smooth and just so nice to use. The macro software leaves a little to be desired (you need to update the firmware to be able to include time delays, but the firmware isn’t available from what I could see?).Overall, very very very happy, and wish I could justify buying another one for at home.

Absolutely fanastic

I upgraded to this after using another model from a well known brand for years. The difference was immediately noticeable. The Keychron is a super-premium product and it feels incredible under the hands. The throw distance of the keys makes for very smooth typing and the whole unit just looks and feels sleek and impressive. You can plug it straight in to the PC and use the VIA app to program all the keys. Feels like a huge upgrade from my previous model.

Bluetooth works!

I bought the K10 non pro version a couple of years back and experienced issues connecting with Blutooth ended up returning it, this one however works great, I have two computers running on different screens and can flip back and forwards with this keyboard no issues. Plus it great to type on!
