nice cheap works well

I have a brown version of C1 Gaitrons and it's a great inexpensive keyboard, when my old one just sucks from another company one of my t keys stopped working. I wish the windows lock button didn't work while gaming, but that's fine. Maybe I can still deactivate this key on my computer. good keyboard, and the keys are I think capital letters d-pbt, very comfortable to the touch. don't start to feel smooth after a little use. I've had so many problems with my newer keyboards, with those little F…

Pros
  • everything is fine!
Cons
  • Was able to go to a newer model

Meh, could be a lot better

Well it works, Gateron switches and decent keycaps make the price hard to argue. But I don't like it and I regret choosing it, so I'm giving it a 3. Why? It sounds like hitting a cheap thin plastic box because... you are in a cheap thin plastic box. Take it apart and fill it with silicone or some other mod and you can fix it I think (the packaging foam it comes with does very little) but you still have a cheap sound, feel and look like some kind of keyboard. Much worse than other cheap…

  • GOLS certified

  • Sad hardware

Better than K8: Accessory

K8 keyboard is more "Premium". But I like this one more than the K8. I ordered C1 and K8 at the same time (the most expensive). If my K8 hadn't broke I would probably still want to return it. The height difference at C1 makes a big difference. It may seem insignificant next to each other. The K8 requires a wrist rest, while the C1 can do without it. It might seem like a small thing, but for me it was a crucial factor. K8 is the tallest keyboard I've ever used. It seems random and overdone. The…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Annoys me

Budget hot swap, detachable USB-C and dual keycaps from the press

The product is working great for me so far (at about 3 weeks) and I've moved on to the foam mod. WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS KEYBOARD, PLACE NEOPRENE FOAM (non-conductive) BETWEEN THE PAYMENT PLATE (Welcome). Neoprene foam (non-conductive) should be 1/8" thick. It helps a lot to put something between the board and the PCB. However, the included brown gaitrons are hard to get used to the blue cherry mx switches, and yet the dull gets Sound more relaxed after a while compared to the louder clicks of…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Something else

Perfect out of the box, exceptional mod

(I'm a mechanical keyboard enthusiast so don't take this too seriously.) Damn good. It's pretty solid out of the box, it's really sturdy despite the outer casing being all plastic. The disassembly process isn't too bad, only 8 screws connect the panel to the bottom of the case, there are two heights of fold-out feet if you like them, and some sturdy rubber feet. with them, and while they're definitely prickly, the experience isn't terrible because the stabilizers are kind of oily. It wasn't as…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Factor set

Solid Value Mechanical Keyboard

The keyboard has many additional features not found on mechanical keyboards in this price range - hot-swappable switches, a physical switch for OSX or Windows, and white backlighting. You get Windows keycaps in the box if you must be a Windows user - it comes with OSX keycaps. Also included is a USB-C to USB-A adapter cap remover and a switch remover. I'm not interested in wireless keyboards, but if you're looking for one, this one won't work for you. I'm not a gamer and this is for work so I'm

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Almost perfect keyboard without white backlit keys!

I was wearing letter stickers from my old full sized Dell keyboard and was looking for a keyboard without ten keys with a white backlight. The RGB versions are a little flashy for me, I just like being able to see the keys in the dark if I'm going to be gaming or typing in the dark. After researching and comparing products, I settled on this Keychron model. It was dispatched as soon as it was available and arrived safely and undamaged in its shipping box. The retail packaging that the keyboard…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Functionality
