Awesome little mechanical keyboard with full size keys

I bought this keyboard because I never use the number pad and wanted my mouse closer. I love how this keyboard gets rid of all the keys I don't use. The keyboard looks great and looks really great. I've moved from a Logitech K740 with scissor membrane switches, and this keychron is a huge improvement. I have a "brown" version with a key switch that I really like. The "tactile bump" is pretty subtle, but you can tell it's not a linear switch (which is a good thing). Keystroke is not as quiet as a membrane keyboard, but not annoying (like switch clicks). The lighting is really nice, although I wish it had multiple levels of brightness, not just 20 lighting modes, which you'll probably never use. It only has one brightness level, but that's okay. I'm using it wired so can't comment on wireless usage. My only problem was overtraining my fingers: when working with a flat keyboard, my fingers would sometimes hit the edge of the screen. Keys in the top row when trying to reach them. On a flat keyboard, you just stretch out your finger, but this keyboard has a small "step" between rows of keys, so you have to lift your fingers slightly to get to the top rows. After a few days it wasn't a big problem for me anymore. Overall a great compact keyboard.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So so
