Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an introduction to the mechanical keyboard space, this keyboard has been excellent for me. I haven't had any connection issues using in its various modes (Wireless, Bluetooth, Cable), and the battery life is decent in the mode I use it in most (bluetooth). It usually lasts me a little over a week or so. The lighting effects aren't terribly bright but not bad and offer plenty of modes. I'm a software developer so I use this daily and it is comfortable and a joy to use daily. I've read some comments saying that they could not get it to turn back on after it goes to sleep without using the selector switch. I press and hold fn then 1 (where my laptop is saved) and it comes right back on. Overall, I highly recommend it for any new uses to mechanical keyboards. For mech keyboard veterans, you may have better suggestions and/or preferences, but for novices in this space, this is a clear winner.

I love this keyboard, don't let the four stars fool you. The hall effect switches are some of the best I have ever felt. To put this in perspective I own over 150 different keyboards (and many more mice) of all brands, makes and models. This one by far has given me the best typing experience. I work in IT and I love the way this keyboard feels, looks and sounds the keys make this lovely muted click that just sounds like absoultely the finest quality switch available. The body is made of high quality materials and the real wood end caps just look fanstastic and give this a very expensive look. as a bonus they include a keycap puller and Windows keys that you can swap for the Apple keys, Since I also have a MacBook Pro, I left mine in stock Apple form. SO....Why not five stars? there are a few things that could use massive improvements. One, the battery. the battery life is pretty attrocious. I have to have it plugged in daily. and that kind of defeats the purpose of a wireless keyboard. It does go to sleep, and the only way to wake it is to slap the keyboard. Secondly, the customization software is terrible, I mean really, really bad, They use a web based system that needs to pair with the dongle, no ability to adjust any settings via Bluetooth. either the keyboard has to be connected by dongle or the cable to update the keyboard or change any of the lighting or customization. The app is also cluttered and difficult to understand. In comparison to Logi Options + this is just awful software. I suggest they create an installable thick client and give the ability for customizations to be done via Bluetooth, just like Logitech. Thirdly, the switching between machines is cumbersome. unlike my Logi MX Keys or MX Mechanical, where I just need to tap which one of the three machines I want to connect to I need to flip switches on the side and then hold fn and 1,2,3 to assign the computer, awkward bulky way to switch machines, and partly why it lost a star. if they can fix the battery life and redo the software this would change to five stars

[Employee of bestbuy] Ive had some time to spend with this keyboard and so far its been solid. The sound is also top tier compared to the many other keyboards ive bought before. Theres very little that compares to building your own board to get an even better sound. But right out of the box and prebuilt, this sounds thocky and smooth. I game on fps like battlefield 6 and graphic design in adobe illustrator. Butter smooth for each application. The hall effect switches are worth it for gaming. Theres nothing that stops the keys from turing shiny especially when playing fps games. But i dont mind that really. The RGB is lowkey and ambient. And finally thr build quality is 10/10 wood grain and aluminum case sides are unique.

"Clicky clacky Click clack click clack clacky clacky clack" - me typing this review

My old keyboard had broken so buying this was mostly a random choice but it worked out really well. It's amazing to type on and made of quality materials, I had trouble figuring out the RGB but once I did learning all of the features is incredible. For the price this is a really good choice. Sense my purchase I've also learned that keychron is actually a known brand in the keyboard space.

I've been bouncing around a couple keyboards trying to find one I really like. I spent a long time with silver "speed" switches which have a really short activation travel and I think I just really like that style of typing because you can basically customize this keyboard to act just like that and I really love it. Setup was pretty simple. Plug in the keyboard and it should just work. I'll just add a little anecdote of my own that might help someone in the future. Since this keyboard doesn't have a wrist rest and my last one did, I decided to just slap the old wrist rest in front of this keyboard. I failed to remember that the old wrist rest "attached" to the keyboard with magnets, which aren't the best things to place around a hall effect keyboard. So I spent some time trying to figure out why certain keys weren't working or were firing randomly because I understood what the magnets were doing. Don't do what I did. Keep the magnets away from this keyboard. After getting the magnet situation sorted out, everything worked really well. There is a "helper" app that you can download that assists with launching applications from hotkeys if you want, but almost all of the setup and customization of the keyboard is done via a web application. No need to install anything to use OR customize the keyboard. This is a HUGE win in my book because it feels like every device now will work fine without an app but as soon as you want to change or customize anything, you're going to need that app running 24/7. You get asked to download a generic "driver" that helps connect to the keyboard and that's it. But if you use Firefox, you'll need to use Chrome or Brave (or any other Chromium based browser) to use the app. You can customize pretty anything you can think of for keyboards. Because it's hall effect, you can set the activation travel distance for every single key. If you want everything to activate really quick, you can do that. If you want to press the ESC key harder than all the other keys for some reason, you can do that. Settings up macros and rebinding keys is all doable straight from the app and the only time you need to use the "helper" app is if you're trying to launch other applications. As far as the hall effect nature of this keyboard, you can also customize your keys to find to analog gamepad inputs so you have actual analog control of your keys. Sadly, this just simulates a gamepad and you have to set up the keyboard to your liking beforehand (there is a preset "Gamepad" setting that sets this up for you if you're fine with their settings). I'd really love it if keyboards started presenting the ability to be analog to the system and any key could be set up in game to support analog movements. Imagine still having your WASD keys available but when you're driving in GTA, you can steer with analog controls automatically. As it stands, the keyboard translates "key" presses as digital on and off when it gets passed to the OS unless they're set up as a gamepad input. Lighting has a lot of preset effects. You'll probably be fine with the offerings available. If you're coming from a corsair or similar keyboard with ultra lighting customization, you might feel like you're limited. I would love to see the ability to layer lighting effects so you can stack things as well as being able to set different effects for any number of groups of keys (currenty, you were only able to fully customize two different sets of keys). Being able to overlap, layer and create as many sets of keys as we want would open up the lighting options so much. As is, the lighting is mostly just the couple dozen effects you'd find anywhere. Typing feels really good to me. I set all of my keys to activate after 1mm and it really feels like my old "speed" switches. If you're looking for bumpy clicks, this isn't for you. This is a linear keyboard. The weight and feel of the keyboard in general also feels very nice and not cheap. It's also always nice to have a numpad again. I've been using the keyboard wired but there's also options for bluetooth or their own wireless dongle. The dongle even comes with an extension cord so you can move it to be closer to the keyboard so it maintains a great connection without any interference. There is also a switch to move between Windows/Android and Mac/iOS so you can make sure you maintain full compatibility with whatever system you're connecting to. Bottom line, I'm a big fan of this keyboard. Loving the hall effect feel and how customizable everything is. I could do with some more options for customizing the lighting but I'm fine with most of their defaults. If you're in the market for a new keyboard, you want something a little different, and you're OK with linear switches, give this a look.

I have to be honest, this is my first Keychron keyboard, and I've had/used LOADS of different keyboards. I'm usually into the firm ultra clicky "blue switch" style keyboards, but I may have been converted by this K10 HE. I honestly thought I wouldn't like the soft-ish linear switches as much as others, but this Keychron is so buttery smooth, and even when I type fast, the click is still there, but just muted. (if you want a premium keyboard to use in a cubicle, look at this unit, your nearby coworkers will thank you for this one vs something ultra clicky) When you open the box, you know you're dealing with a solid, premium product. My only gripe is that I had to swap on Windows keys, like it came out of the box with the Mac keys installed...This is supposedly marketed as a gaming keyboard, and everyone knows you can't game on Mac's (/s) The ability to run in Windows specific mode with just a switch is great, plus it works wirelessly with the included dongle, or via Bluetooth which is always welcome. The RGB is noticeable but very muted, which makes sense given the brand, the wood looking trim doesn't scream "gamer" at all. This keyboard didn't make me any better at video games, but I sure enjoy losing while using it!

TL;DR Heavy switches will create strong fingers… pause. Pretty premium bezel but very heavy, you could knock someone out if you chunk it at someone. Very minimalist aesthetic for those looking for that, and personally just love the Web based software with no installation for customization. If you are a gamer looking for RBG galore, this will not be for you *****PROS***** -Premium heavy design/feel -Various options to connect -Wood aesthetic -Browser based customization -No proprietary launcher *****CONS***** -Heavy press switches *****Opinion -This keyboard is heavy Ok let me start my review by mentioning this keyboard feels like a brick since it’s so HEAVY. Ok with that out of the way let me get started. I had head of Keychron in the past, but I had never owned any of their products previously. I had never really considered myself a mechanical keyboard connoisseur or enthusiast, but I can see how this keyboard is aimed at that audience first and everything else second. The sound coming from the keystrokes definitely have a nice crunch, not clacky, they are not loud but not quiet either, personally a middle ground for me. All the little nit and gritty details can be found on the flyers and probably do a better job at explaining things than me. Packaging is simple but nice, you get your extra keycaps, the 2.4GHz adapter, the key puller, cable, manuals and the keyboard. Setting up is easy, just plug and play or pair and play. I’m not familiar with these types of switches but when I tell you they take some force to press oh lawd. Anyways the actuation points can be adjusted on the software along with lighting, gaming mode, and rapid mode. I can see the vision and what one could do in the future with this keyboard. This specific model definitely yells minimalism, with some greenery on the desk and such and no loud knobs, colors, and buttons, just a few tiny lights that let you know the mode and if it’s on. Would I recommend this keyboard, oh yeah specially if you are chasing after a certain aesthetic or if you want to transition to a more enthusiast modular route.

The K10 HE is hands down the best keyboard I’ve tried in a long time. While the classic design with wood accents may be subjective, I certainly appreciate it. The keyboard is on the heavy side and not very portable due to the frame, layers, and aluminum plate. However, this makes it quite sturdy and stable. The double-shot PBT keycaps feel great, and I have not noticed any significant finger oil smudges on them (especially on the space bar). The north-facing backlit illumination is appreciated, although I would have preferred only lettering to be highlighted instead, as there is quite a bit of light bleeding. The keyboard can be connected via 2.4Ghz dongle, Bluetooth, and wired via USB-C to USB-A. It can be connected to 3 devices at the same time via each option. Also, it is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and even Android through a physical switch toggle. Keychron included keycaps for both ecosystems. This is a very versatile keyboard. Speaking of keycaps, they are easily replaced with an included keycap pull tool. Even the switches are hot swappable! Out of the box, the Gateron double-rail magnetic switches are so smooth, firm, quiet, and super responsive. In many games, it feels like pressing an analog stick. The great experience is not just in gaming, but also in office and productivity work. The dampening solution is very effective. It is just so satisfying and a joy to type on it. Software options are handled quite uniquely. Instead of using or installing an app, all updates, options, and adjustments such as switch sensitivity, are made through a website (Keychron Launcher). I prefer this to installing software as I can connect my keyboard to any PC, including my work laptop. At the end of the day, I am really impressed with the overall look, feel, performance, and experience. I find it great value and easy to recommend.

I've been really happy with this Keychron keyboard. It feels solid, the keys are comfortable to type on, and it works great for both work and everyday use. The battery life is good, and switching between devices is super convenient. Overall, it's a great keyboard for the price, and I'd definitely recommend it

I got this keyboard to go with my new office laptop setup. I am going to use this for business only, and this keyboard looks like it means business. Wood grain on the sides (rosewood) with an escape and enter key that match the color to give it a little pop, this is a nice looking keyboard. Underneath, it is very much a gaming keyboard. Mechanical with a solid nice range of movement, firm push with soft finish and a good click. The weight of this keyboard is similar to old school 80's keyboards, and just feels solid and premium build, like built to last with metal instead of plastic. It does have LED lights, with many settings. To adjust these, keys, and create hot keys and macros/shortcuts, there is a website you connect to and change the settings when connected by USB cord. This site is easy to navigate, friendly. The quick start guide tells you all to know to get up and active. It came preset with Mac keys, but it came with swappable buttons and a puller tool to switch to windows. The app allows you to actually control how sensitive keys are by adjusting the magnetic switch. I have not ever thought about doing that, but it’s here and I can see how valuable that may be to a gamer. This can be connected by USB A dongle, or with a USB c dongle converter to 2.4ghz, Bluetooth up to 3 devices, or connect by USB cable. All methods work well, by my default will be Bluetooth for the office. We'll see how long the battery life is over time, but charge by usb-c. There is a switch on the side to toggle between connections, and Mac/ios or win/android. The angle and feel of the tilt of the keyboard is good ergonomically with my wrists. This thing can be torn down and cleaned, and comes with a screwdriver and hex wrench to do that if you want. Overall, this thing is a beast and the pricing on this is excellent I have a few more expensive keyboards at home, but this to me is a better value, and just more solid. The other keyboards are excellent, but this seems to be on it's own level. I highly reccomend this keyboard. 5 stars easily.

You ever run into those situations where a product is so good, and fits so seamlessly in with your day-to-day, that it's hard to find things to say about it? That summarizes how I feel about this keyboard. Every single thing about it is well made and high quality. From the packaging to the included keycap puller to the wonderful, gentle thocky sound it makes when you type, this thing just works. You have plenty of options for how you want to use it. You can use it via bluetooth, the included 2.4ghz dongle (which not only has standard USB A, but USB C as well, so you can use it on many different devices), or you can use wired (which uses a USB C cable to connect the keyboard to the computer). I will mention, regarding wired mode, that, the plugin is on the left edge of the keyboard. Included is a right angle USB C cable for connecting it more easily, but it's somewhat short, so I wasn't able to use it, with my computer being on the right edge of my desk. No big deal, but it's something worth mentioning. The keyswitches in this keyboard are wonderful. They're nice - they don't take too much force to actuate, but you still have to be intentional with your keypresses to get an input. it sounds wonderful, and the included keycaps are simple and lovely. The keyboard looks great. It feels like it could fit in anywhere without standing out. I love the wood accents on sides, and the weighty metal case. This thing is built like a pretty brick. This is a fantastic device. If you're looking for something to use - whether that's between several different devices, or just one - you'll be able to use it, and it will be a pleasant, enjoyable experience.

There are so many things to love about the Keychron K10 from the moment you take it out of the box. The first thing is actually taking it out, since you quickly realize that this keyboard has quite a bit of heft! The design is absolutely beautiful, mixing a bit of nostalgia with a lot of technology. The wood accents are a great touch of class, and the key doing is perfect. This is one of the better products out there in terms of setup because it doesn’t require installing an application. Everything is web based and pretty simple to follow along with. Like any gaming keyboard, it has a ton of adjustments you can make. Even the inclusion of a really useful quick start card felt like a nice touch over a lot of products i get where instructions just feel optional these days. The K10 works for both Mac and Windows; just be prepared to swap out some key caps to make it work. The thing i love most is the Hall effect. Magnetic dampening allows you to hyper tailor the keyboard to respond the way you want it to. It’s also quieter than a mechanical keyset, which keeps people from attacking me on Teams calls about my multitasking being too loud. That level of tailoring is also incredible for gaming; you can truly adjust the keys to be ‘hairtrigger’ in battle.

If you alternate between a Mac for work and a Windows PC for gaming, this keyboard is a lifesaver. I use it all day for software engineering on my Mac, and the typing experience is incredibly smooth and comfortable for long coding sessions. The web-based QMK launcher software is great too, because you can customize keys and shortcuts easily without downloading bloated software. When I’m done with work, I just flip the switch to my gaming desktop. The Hall Effect magnetic switches are amazing for gaming because of the rapid trigger and adjustable actuation. You get the absolute best of both worlds: a premium, professional typing feel for work and high-performance responsiveness for gaming. The build feels incredibly solid and heavy-duty. Highly recommend it if you have a dual-system setup.

I am an electronic buyer and tester for multiple companies. This is by far one of the smoothest switches I have used and I’ve used a lot. I personally bought two of these for myself. One for Work and one for Home. The galaxy switches are absolutely fantastic. The battery on this unit is not terribly bad, but not the best I can go roughly 4 days without charging it. The software is all online which is interesting so if you have a little to no Internet, you cannot really adjust the settings, but if you’re Internet is any decent, it’s very customizable. I can customize any key based off pressure points and how hard it is pressed. I would highly recommend the keyboard.

If you are in the market for a highly customizable keyboard that can fit virtually any use case, you may not need to look any further than the Keychron K10 HE. This keyboard is equipped with Hall Effect keys, which essentially means the actuation is triggered magnetically, allowing for precise control of when the key press registers as a keypress. This allows for complete control over sensitivity and pressure detection down to the millimeter! Having this much control allows for special use cases within gaming or better control over typing as a programmer, writer, or even just a casual user. Practically any preference for responsiveness is captured here. It is easily adjustable via the Keychron configurator. Select the key you want to change, select the actuation response and click save. It's that simple. The Keychron configurator is accessed via pulling up a webpage and allowing the browser to interact with the operating system to detect the keyboard is connected. There is no software to install making this OS agnostic and super easy to configure. The settings themselves are stored on the internal memory of the K10 so settings travel along with the keyboard itself. The Hall Effect also lends itself to some other gaming features such as last key priority or snap click. Different brands name these things differently, but essentially, last key priority allows for a new key to be pressed before fully releasing the last key pressed. This can make movement in games more responsive as a result. Just be aware any keyboard alteration in functionality beyond just actuation can result in anti-cheat being triggered in games. These features should be used during solo play only, or, if you have 100% sure a game does not ban the function as these give players an unfair advantage over competitors. They can also be useful in masking typing behavior to prioritize a unique way you may type. The features alone work flawlessly on the Keychrom K10. The construction of the K10 is extremely solid and the use of acoustic foamss between the layers allow for an extremely quiet operation. Key presses feel extremely solid and defined while also being smooth and premium feeling. The backlight can be adjusted using many presets giving a wide range of effects. Any color in the RGB spectrum can be selected or variations of colors. The included keycaps do not allow illumination to shine through, which I personally found odd, but alternative keycaps which do allow for numbers to shine through are available for extra purchase on Keychron's website, adding further to the customization. Keychron also includes a key puller tool in the box to make swapping key caps even easier. Th K10 can be used on any operating system and includes key caps for both Windows and macOS. Additional keycaps also include a "super" key for Linux. This allows for a perfect keyboard layout regardless of the OS you choose. It also allows for swapping the keyboard between different OSes if you work in a multi-OS situation, making the value proposition even higher. The K10 can operate via bluetooth, USB or 2.4ghz dongle. The HE is special in the fact there is Rosewood accents on the left and right of the keyboard. This adds a bit of organic element to the design which I found to be spectacular. It also happened to match a wood grain on my PC case, which coincidentally worked out in my favor. This is a spectacular keyboard offering a full range of customizable options beyond what most other keyboards can offer. It truely has something for every taste and preference. It is OS agnostic and super easy to configure. This is a stand out option for literally, anyone looking for a premium accessory for their computing needs.

Bought one as a gift. Build quality is great. Easy to connect and just feels great when you type. No regret!

After having a few different Keychron keyboards, I wanted one that matched my aesthetic. The fact that it has hall effect switches is just a bonus. Feels good quality, types amazing. If there was one gripe, i hate that it wont automatically come on when in bluetooth mode, but that may be my own fault. Would definitely recommend.

Great feeling and great sounding keyboard. The wood accents make it feel very premium, which it is. Excellent build quality and a pleasure to type on. Note that the backlight keys are less bright than you'd expect, they don't shine through the key caps like you might expect a Razer RGB keyboard. But that isn't a concern for me, I rarely use the backlit feature.

Purchased for non-gaming purposes. Wow…. Love love love this keyboard. The keys are so smooth, dare I say creamy. Not loud, but the ASMR is satisfying. I do a lot of writing and emails so this is what I’ve been looking for. The warranty and support from Keychron is fantastic as well. This keyboard will last me forever… unless I want different colors.
