Features
  • Last Keystroke Prioritization (LKP) & Snap Click

    LKP allows seamless directional changes by prioritizing the last key pressed, ensuring smoother gameplay in titles like Valorant. With Snap Click, deeper keypresses take precedence when two keys are hit at once, automatically resetting shallower presses. Together, these features make counter-strafing effortless, giving you the accuracy and speed needed for high-level FPS play.

  • Double-shot PBT Keycaps

    The PBT keycaps (shine-through cherry profile on the standard version, non-shine-through OSA profile for the special editions) will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

  • An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

    Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 256K flash and QMK open-source firmware to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box in Type-C wired mode and 2.4 GHz mode, which greatly helps when competitively gaming.

    Smooth Like Butter

    Smooth like butter. Really easy to connect wirelessly to my Mac Air (M4). It comes with a USB to USB-C to connect but any USB-C to USB-C cable will work if you want to have it wired to the computer. It’s compact enough for a backpack and I don’t feel like it’s flimsy or going to break. I’ve been using it pretty much everyday since I’ve bought it and just turning it on, it’ll connect with Bluetooth to the computer. I don’t have to reconnect it eveytime. I know it’s a “gaming” keyboard but I bought it for business and it seems to be working really well so far. I did a lot of research before buying it and the reviews are mainly true. It’s easy to carry, easy to connect, and the switches are smoooooooth.

    Hall Effect to Great Effect

    When my old ergonomic keyboard gave up the ghost looked into a replacement one for myself. Did a little research and found Keychron was highly rated as a great manufacturer of keyboards. Didn’t want to spend a fortune but was very interested in getting a nice, new modern keyboard. Well let me tell you this keyboard is amazing. Easy setup with either bluetooh, wireless or wired. Personally I use it in wired mode as I do not want any input lag for when I am gaming. Keys are buttery smooth when pressed and the input is almost telekinetic. Does take a little getting used to if you have never used a hall effect keyboard before since the keys do not have any weight to them. You press them and it instantly responds. So keep that in mind if you want to feel weight behind the keys. I mostly use it for gaming, it is great for typing as well. This keyboard is a winner and I see myself using for many years. Probably will only replace it when it breaks and see about getting one of their more higher end models.

    Great introduction to Custom and HE Keyboards

    I have been using this keyboard for a few weeks, mainly for gaming and general typing. I upgraded from a Keychron K6, love Keychron and was exited to use a HE keyboard. The build quality is great, metal sides and a hard plastic back panel, definitely better than an all plastic board, with no flex at all. Been using it for several hours and not needing to charge it once, the sleep mode will activate in a few minutes of inactivity and wakes back up with a single key press. The keychron software is great for customizability, but is definitely not beginner friendly. This has the best out of the box sound I have ever heard, not needing any modding to get that "THOCK" sound. being a HE keyboard opens up the customizability, being able to customize each key. Pros: -Build quality -Battery Life -Sound -Key Customizability -Wireless connection Cons: -Software not great for beginners -No per key RBG control only presets

    Good keyboard but may need to lubricate switches

    Currently the best sounding HE keyboards out there. Also having a online driver's without downloading any is really nice. Just a little downside though. Not all of the switches were proper lubed so you might hear pinging if you hit a key. I would 100% recommend this keyboard instead of the wooting he 60 or 80.
