    Perfect! Using this in a workplace environment.

    I purchased this Keychron to replace a mechanical Logitech that would double, triple, quadruple type randomly. It's a common Logitech issue. If you are cross shopping this with a Logitech don't waste your money and buy the KEYCHRON! This keyboard has a great feel to it. Types very precise and isn't loud or annoying to coworkers. Been using it for about a month and love everything about it. I only use it plugged in so I can't speak to the battery life. I'm using it on a Windows machine.

    Great wireless keyboard for under $150

    I was skeptical of ordering this keyboard because of the layout, however it exceeded my expectations. Extremely smooth typing and feels really nice. If you want a nice wireless keyboard without spending too much this is the one. Minus one star becuase the launcher/software could use some work.

    Nice keyboard, not easy to handle the colors

    The mechanical keys on this are nice, but at least on a Mac, the colors were difficult to manage, though this is my first keyboard with that as an option.

    A Solid Keyboard for the Price

    This keyboard is solid for its price. The included double-shot PBT keycaps look amazing and feel great at the same time. This is the keyboard I have been long looking. I used this keyboard using a 2.4 GHz dongle for a month and didn’t notice any hiccups. The keyboard supports QMK for key configuration but you usually just go to keychron’s Launcher instead. The build of the keyboard is solid but doesn’t offer premium feeling like the MX Mechanical I had. Also, I couldn’t find a place to buy any replacement 2.4 Ghz dongle so there is a risk of permanently lose that connection ability if you are not careful. They also not offering replacement keycaps in similar color scheme. Hence, if you dig the default color scheme, you won’t find any replacement if things went south. Finally, while offering great feeling, the keycaps doesn’t shine though (this is not a con, it is just a fact). So, for the price, this is a solid keyboard. IT Became my main keyboard and I probably won’t go back :).
