keychron k6 overloads and stays forever

I'm the type of person who does a lot of research before making a purchase decision: YouTube, Amazon reviews, Reddit, etc. Keyboards that came off the top were other tips anne 2, duragod, but i remember keycron k6 (brown switches). I think it was right for the price and I've been hooked ever since. As others have said, there is no dedicated delete button. However, there is fn1 + "[ " to use the delete key. And in any case, it must be used with a wrist rest. Things I didn't like: Big keys like…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Great, but you need a wrist rest

The only real problem with this keyboard is that you absolutely need a wrist rest. But even at the price of this board + wrist rest, this keyboard is a good option. For backlit mechanical switches and a small footprint, this is a great entry-level option for performance and ergonomics (or gaming if you have optics). The included buttons feel good with enough travel, and the switches are pretty stable. Some people report different feel switches, so always check quality control on your specific…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotion
Cons
  • Clarity

Pretty good keyboard.

I love the look of the keyboard, it's small, attractive and professional. I love that you can easily switch it between multiple computers and that it comes with different keys if you set it up for Windows/Linux/Android or Apple OS. I really don't like the dedicated light button, the backlight is what you install when you first buy a keyboard and you don't have to fiddle with it again. On a keyboard, enabling a dedicated backlight key means tucking the more useful key under the function key…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Sad packaging

Avoid at all costs! Bluetooth issues and cheap feet/stands

I love mechanical keyboards so I chose it when I saw this keyboard had good reviews. Well, I didn't know that you can't keep anything connected via Bluetooth. I have to use a cable or it disconnects and refuses to connect to a Bluetooth device. I tried it on Windows 10, macOS, iPhone/iPad and the result is the same; stays connected for a while, then disconnects and refuses to reconnect unless you factory reset it. The switches are ok but the rest of the build is terrible. The legs supporting…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not as good as it says
