Review on πŸ”‘ Keychron K1 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Low Profile Gateron Blue Switch, White LED Backlight, USB C - 87 Keys N-Key Rollover for Mac Windows PC Gamer-Version 4 by Carlos Abood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good keyboard. Disgusting bluetooth.

Pros: I like the minimalist aesthetic compared to many "gaming" products that are full of unnecessary frills. The low height makes it more ergonomic than a regular mechanical keyboard. The TKL layout is the best compromise in my opinion. I chose a white backlight because I haven't seen myself with any other color and I don't care about lighting effects. The bad: I don't know if it's just me, but I find the buttons VERY sensitive. I guess I just need to be more precise when typing, but right now that sensitivity leads to a lot of typos. The keys feel a little wobbly and cheap overall. Can't complain because this is a keyboard for less than $100. Ugliness: Bluetooth is terrible. Shut down permanently. Delay keystrokes not registered or duplicateddddddddddddd. It's so bad that I have to use a wired keyboard. i hate wires But I think I have to live with that. I had other Bluetooth devices on the same system and I didn't experience this issue. Can I recommend a keyboard? If you don't mind using it wired of course. If you absolutely need a wireless keyboard, look elsewhere. Update 01/2021: The keyboard is still in use. Wired. Bluetooth still sucks. Key sensitivity is no longer an issue, confirming that I just had to get used to the feel.

Pros
  • Connect the K1 to up to three devices via Bluetooth or one device via the wired USB Type-C option. Pair it with your smartphone, laptop and iPad and quickly switch between devices. It offers a highly reliable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 chipset with wide compatibility best suited for home, office and light gaming.
Cons
  • Vulgarity
