welcome
I own several mechanical keyboards, the best of which are made by Daskeyboard, but I wanted a bluetooth with mechanical switches for pairing with my iPad for writing and decided to give all 3 Keychron models a try. It pairs easily with my Apple devices and so far has been flawless. The keyboard is compact, but not crowded, and eliminating the number pad allows it to take up much less space than full keyboard.
It types well flat and perhaps even better when elevated using the built in hinges or feet that fold open underneath. I chose BLUE switches because they feel the best for long sessions of typing.
Anyway, the Keychron with BLUE is such a close second that I am absolutely thrilled to have found it. As for the BROWN and RED models, I would say that if you have never owned a mechanical before you might be best served by the RED for general use as it is a little bit quieter and smoother than the others. For my taste, the RED is great for typing, though loud, but for a great general purpose bluetooth I would probably go with BROWN or GREEN instead.
Then again, the BROWN might be more to your taste for typing with the slight bump as they key goes down. A NOTE ON SHIPPING: Just beware that the estimated arrival date from this seller may be a day or two later than the Amazon estimate. I never had a problem receiving my keyboards, but the pre-shipping process is a little vague.
Just be aware it may take more than 2 days to get it, though it never took more than 4 for any of mine. The Keychron K2 is pretty much perfect, especially at this price point. It's compact without being cramped and the keys have the right amount of click. It also looks really nice with orange accents and two shades of gray. There are a ton of backlight options as well.
The fact that you can use it wired or wireless on both a Windows or Mac device is the Cherry switch on top. I honestly haven't found a single fault. Color: Brown SwitchVerified Purchase There's a lot of clacking to this board.
It's really obnoxious and makes the typing experience pretty mediocre. O rings help but make the typing feel a little weird. The keyboard is raised too high for itself. A wrist rest is recommended and it's silly that has to be the case. For Windows, there's no Insert key at all. The rgb button takes the perfect spot that could have existed for the Ins key, as well. Software would easily make up for this but there is none.
The battery and Bluetooth is good and makes up some cons of this board. But this board overall feels really mediocre. Color: Red SwitchVerified Purchase So much hype and positive reviews about this keyboard but Mehhhhh. I use this keyboard for light gaming and of course, working from home as I like the feel of mechanical keyboards on my fingertips. What I like about this keyboard is the style factor and feel of keycaps.
I have the Gateron Red as I like linear and partial about tactile and clicky switches. This red switch is indeed on par (or perhaps better) when compared to other switches out there (e. I work 8 hrs a day in front of my computer and does some gaming after. This keyboard is too high (so thick bruh). I did purchase a wrist rest and you need to get a thick one too which just worsened the issue.
I have to use the keyboard on my macbook to input my login information then I can start using this keyboard. Well, in a nutshell, I am returning this keyboard. Color: Blue SwitchVerified Purchase Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Be warned if purchasing. Keys are so smooth. The plastic gives a soft feeling, combined with brown switch feedback, that gives you great typing experience.
The keyboard size is perfect, its footprint is very small and compact. That saves so much space if you use multiple workstations. The battery life seems longer that's been advertised. This is the second day I am using it without charging.
Overall it took me some time to justify the price of a small keyboard, but I definitely recommend it and will buy it again in a few years. Thanks Keychron for making such awesome product. As one of the most funded keyboards on Kickstarter, the brand has a cult following whom swear by their products. While many complain of the keyboard's high profile, many other keyboards are of the same height, and to be frank, isn't that bad.
With the inclined bottom frame, it is possible to type for long periods with this keyboard. Additionally, the keyboard has two different height feet at the bottom of the border to enhance the typing experience.
While the keyboard's price is around the entry-level ball park for mechanical keyboards, the typing experience is unparalleled, especially for Mac users. There are several wireless mechanical keyboards that cost just as much, however, those keyboards do not include Mac keycaps, nor do they have as a reliable connection for Bluetooth, as with this keyboard.
However, with the keyboard that I received, there are clearly quality issues with the keyboard.
