Review: Perfect for programming, amazing quality for the price - I've never had a mechanical keyboard before, but wanted to invest in a nicer keyboard because I spend about 1/3 of every day typing. While I considered other keyboards, I ended up picking this one because of its flexibility/modifiability while still being 100% beginner-friendly. I got a good bargain by purchasing used, so I paid only $51--at that price it really can't be beat. It was hard to find an "entry-level" mechanical keyboard that was high-quality without ridiculous rainbow glowy lights all over it. (Sure, RGB features on those blinged-out gaming keyboards can be disabled, but then it feels like I'm paying a premium for a feature I didn't even want.) This keyboard ticks all the boxes for me and has been a delight to use so far. Pros: - The stock keycaps feel high quality. Of course they're replaceable too, if they ever wear out or I want a change. - Pleasantly subtle color scheme. No rainbow glowy lights. They even include extra ESC keycaps if you don't like the orange one it comes with. - Switches and stabilizers feel buttery smooth to me, but I am a mechanical keyboard newbie, so I'm comparing it to the cheap scissor-mechanism keyboards I'm used to. - Wired USB-C with a replaceable cable. I hate Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and far prefer a trusty plug-n-play peripheral like this that never needs a battery or disconnects itself at inconvenient times. It Just... Works. Info: - Can switch between Mac and Windows/Linux layout on the fly. Extra keycaps for alt/option/command/WIN are included too so you can set it up for your preferred layout. - I won't be using the keyboard backlight much, since even when I program in the dark I'm still touch-typing. But occasionally I gotta hunt-and-peck some special function key, so I guess it's nice to have. It has several silly/aesthetic lighting patterns that I will never use, haha. - I chose Brown switches and am happy with them, though they are slightly louder than I was expecting. (Mechanical keyboard nerds aren't lying when they wax enthusiastic about the satisfying clackety noises.) The hot-swappable feature means a noob like me can try different switches without having to solder, if I were so inclined. Cons: - Keycaps are ABS plastic, which tends to be less durable than PBT and will attract finger oils over time. (Though since they are removable, can easily clean or replace them.) - Maybe the loudness of the switches is a con if you are in an open plan office; though with some practice I think I can learn to type more quietly on these Brown switches, since they require less forceful presses and are more precise than basic cheapo keyboards I've used until now. I never expected to feel so positively about a basic computer peripheral! Guess I'm a mech keyboard enthusiast now?
Review: Perfectly Clicky. Great for typing and all day working. - Terrific mechanical keyboard. I really love everything about this. This is my work computer, and it's a great keyboard to type on all day. It is truly a pleasure to use and makes work more enjoyable. The keyboard came set up for Apple. All I had to do was swap out a few keys to make it a Windows keyboard. It was very easy and everything is included. You get a tool to remove the key, a tool to remove the switch, and some backup keys. The tactile blue switches are amazing. They are clicky and responsive. My typing has improved since upgrading to this keyboard. They are definitely not too loud. They are very satisfying to type on. Another feature that I really liked is the ultra-long, braided cord. It's a high-quality cord, and it is easy to tuck away. I was going to get a custom cord, but this one is fine for now as it's so long and stealthy. I think the best feature is the stay-on backlighting. This is by far the best lighting I have ever seen on a keyboard. The light is crisp and bright, but not too bright. There are a ton of different lighting effects, and they are all smooth and fun. I really like that the light just stays on all the time. My last keyboard only lit up when I typed, and I really didn't like that. I don't need to have as many lights on around me to see the keyboard at night. Overall this was an awesome buy, and I hope to use it for many years to come. I will purchase more switches and keycaps in the future.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you replace the stabilizers?**
A: In principle, yes. However I just tried to do so, using the ZugGear/Durock plate mounts, and the sockets in the plate were far too tight to install the new ones. I actually ended up damaging a couple of housings in the process. 😕 Let me know if you find some replacements that fit!

**Q: Sorry if this is super obvious, but does this come with Windows and Mac keycaps?**
A: It came with both. You also switch the keyboard from Mac to Windows Mode. If I recall correctly it arrived in Mac mode.

**Q: How long is the cable that comes with the keyboard? And can a longer cable be used without compromising functionality?**
A: It’s about 2m and is a pretty standard USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter on one end. You could use any suitable USB-C cable that is long enough for your needs. I don’t use the cable that came with it, instead I use a 1m USB-A to USB-C cable so I don’t have a lot of extra wire on my desk.

**Q: does it have usb**
A: Hello,
The Keychron C1 mechanical keyboard supports wired mode only, the connection is Type-C wired, thanks for your kind question.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ T H O C C Boi?
*by E***C on November 14, 2022*

I will preface this review with the fact that I am a complete and utter noob in this massive world that is custom mechanical keyboards. The only experience I have with mechanical keyboards are with the marketed pre-built "gaming" ones with Cherry MX Red linear switches. With that being said: Instead of ultimately building my own, I decided I would leave that special first-time for when I am ready to build something I want for gaming/personal user at home. I chose Keychron's pre-built C1 over others after careful research and consideration. Bluetooth/wireless option was not really a deal-breaker for me, and I decided to go with Gateron Brown Tactile switches as my only other experience with mechanical keyboards have been lighter, Linear switches. I wanted to try and experience a different feel as this time I needed something for the office. Right out of the box: The quality is fantastic. Although it is a plastic frame and provides a different sound profile, I wanted something relatively lightweight as it would be a dedicated keyboard for the office. Having watched tons of videos of the Keychron K series, Q series, and C series I was able to get a good idea for the stock sound they generally tend to provide. Maybe I was lucky, but all the keys sounded absolutely fantastic. These Gateron Browns, along with the stabilizers for the bigger keys came factory lubed and I was blown away by the sound profile that I was getting right out of the gate. A deep, satisfying T H O C C, especially with the bigger keys like my spacebar, left/right-shift, backspace, enter, etc. However, A quick type test made me realize the keycaps themselves do feel and sound a little bit on the thinner side, providing a little bit more resonance and reverberation of the higher-end frequencies. This tended to give the alphabetical keys a more clacky sound and feel, which contrasted some of that beautiful, thocc-y sound I was getting from some of the bigger keys. Overall, the combination of all these factors kind of gives this keyboard a more muted, balanced sound of both thocc and clack. Having only experienced the ways of the clack, I can confidently say that I consider myself T H O C C gang. As for the switches, I am honestly torn between what I like more. I know in this community there is a lot of debate between Linear gang and Tactile gang, but at this point in time I don't know exactly where I stand. I had never really worked in a setting that involved a lot of keyboard use, so my only real experience had been in a more gaming setting. I will be using this keyboard stock- for now, in the office for a little while to really see where it stands for me as time goes on. I will update my review in the near-future in hopes to give an even better perspective and opinion on this keyboard should any newcomes to this community come across the choice of a pre-built.
