C2 Pro Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Full Size Layout QMK/VIA Programmable Macro White Backlit with Linear Red Switch OEM Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps for Mac Windows Linux

Solid mechanical keyboard that comes built with the QWERTY keyboard, but the default windows keys (like the WIN key and ALT) aren't on by default; you have to pop the others out and put them on. The lights are a nice touch, and someone more creative than me can make them dance wonderfully. It sets up easily, is properly responsive, and doesn't cause these lightly arthritic hands any issues.

Background: I needed a cheap and quality (oxymoron!) mechanical keyboard for KVM of my 2 laptops. Already had a Corsair K70 for the last 3 years for my workstation. I didn't need all the colors and display disco for almost 3 times the price of this one while keeping the price around $60. I had heard about the Keychron's quality, so decided to spend my money on this. Also, I do not write reviews till at least 2 to 3 months of usage. However, the product is so good that I decided to break that rule. Pros: 1. Great packaging and presentation. Very simple layout of all the items in the box. 2. Easy setup with very clear instructions. 3. I prefer Red keys - these keys have very smooth operations as well as good solid clicks. Furthermore, the spacing of the keys is just right for my hands. My Corsair often misses the keys and slows me down, even after 3 years of practice with it. 4. Compact size with decent heft. 5. Nice cool white colored keys that match the background light of the 2 Dell laptops. The light doesn't feel overbearing at night. Cons: Basically nit-picks 1. The plastic body. Not a con, for the price. But the metal ones do look and feel nice. Cheap beggars (me) can't be choosers. 2. Need dedicated buttons for sound control. Not current FN + sound control setup. 3. Unless I am mistaken, I do not see any buttons for Print Screen and Scroll Lock. Also, Scroll Lock does not have a light to show if it's on. Bottomline: For around $50 this is actually a very good keyboard. If it lasts even for 3 years, I will be very happy. This product deserves 4.8/5.0.

It was a great keyboard. Nice sound, nice feel, worked smoothly. Then, out of nowhere, there was lag when typing. It started with the letter C and then it progressed until the keyboard became unusable. Double spaces, missing letters, double letters. I tried updating firmware, resetting the keyboard, different USB ports, different computers, even different OS and there was still this lag that became worse and worse over time. I can't find any other solutions to get this fixed, so I guess I'm back to my old $20 Logi that has been working for years.

I've been using a Noppoo Choc Mini with Gateron Brown switches for years, and I needed to switch to a keyboard with a full numpad. I was looking for a keyboard with the following: - Full size layout - Tactile/non-clicky mechanical switches (usually Brown) - Double-shot PBT keycaps This fit the bill, and for a very reasonable price. Overall thoughts on some features: The backlighting is nice. It's more for effect since the keys aren't transparent, but I like it. You can do a lot of the same lighting effects I've seen on gaming keyboards. The keyboard has a plastic case (some enthusiasts like metal cases specifically), but I don't mind at all. It's a nice black texture that simulates brushed aluminum, and fingerprints don't show on it. The construction is sturdy and doesn't have much flex. Typing also has a really satisfying "clunk" to it. The keys themselves are very smooth. Similar in class to Gatreon Brown switches in my opinion. No complaints. The caps themselves are also fine, I'm not a huge fan of the font style, but I don't mind it. Overall, for the price, an easy 5 stars.

Great keyboard. Only issue I have is it disconnects at times and I have to disconnect the cable and reconnect it. I would give it 4.5 stars really, but the cable issue is a detractor for me. I’m not sure if it is the cable or my system.

I have used this keyboard for about two years, and I can't say anything bad about it. I enjoy the stock keycaps and the switches used. No complaints but have recently upgraded so I'm no longer using it. Does not have Bluetooth connectivity, as it is a purely wired keyboard. Supports USBC. Somewhat clicky sounding, but that is what I wanted. I don't know if I would necessarily have it as an in-office keyboard unless you have a private work area.

Love this thing, the keys feel amazing, versatile, the cord is nice and braided, clean, overall very happy with this particularly for the price. I’m a mechanical keyboard newbie so take it for what it’s worth but overall very happy with the purchase.

For years I've been using a cheap Cooler Master keyboard for my computer at work, but it was worn to the point that the keys were sticking, and half the characters had been worn off the caps, so this week I decided it was time for an upgrade. I'm not a fan of RGB or extraneous controls or over the top designs, so I appreciate that this keyboard is pretty utilitarian in that regard. The backlight is a nice accent without being garish and it matches the light on my mouse. It would be nice if the housing was made of metal, but the ABS it's made of is fairly substantial. This is my first keyboard with tactile switches and for my tastes it feels *really* good to type on. It's nice and punchy, but the sound is subdued enough that nobody in my office has tried to smash it over my head yet. Unfortunately, I've run into similar issues that other reviews here have mentioned, namely that at least one of the keys has had responsiveness issues right out of the box. Specifically, the "U" key on my keyboard only registers a press about half the time. I type fairly fast, too, so it's a persistent annoyance having to back up and correct it. It's actually been getting worse and worse as I type this review. It took me four tries just to type that last "up". Three tries for that one. If I unplug the cable it seems to fix it for a little while, but I might just be gaslighting myself. I've tried swapping cables, ports, and doing a factory reset, but nothing has yielded a permanent fix. I'm going to contact Keychron before I give up and return it to Amazon because otherwise I really like this thing.
