Superb Typing Experience - Smooth and Quiet

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
From the moment you unpack this keyboard, you can tell that it's meant to be a high-end product. The keyboard is solid (and heavy!) with a mostly black finish and woodgrain accents that look premium without being over the top. The keys are nicely shaped and rounded to be very pleasant to type on and with linear magnetic switches, they can be VERY quiet (though to some degree that depends on how hard of a typist you are - a hard typer can make ANY keyboard loud). The typing action is very smooth and I had no problem quickly reaching my typical speed / error rate in typing tests.
The keyboard is wireless and offers the option to connect via either Bluetooth (which is more convenient) or and included 2.4Ghz wireless dongle, which is faster / lower latency and less prone to interference. You can also connect via a wire if you so choose (which is also how you charge the keyboard and it can be used in a wired mode while charging) for zero chance of interference. All of the options worked for me, connecting quickly and easily. The keyboard comes set up for Mac with the key caps reflecting the command, etc. keys but also includes extra key caps to convert to a Windows layout quickly if you want.
BUT the real magic here is in the magentic linear switches. Unlike a mechanical switch with a set actuation point, these switches measure continuously through the keypress so you can actually ADJUST the actuation point where they trigger a keypress. That's an amazing amount of customization - and the TMR / Hall Effect used here won't wear out like a standard spring can.
The continuous measurement also allows you do some fun extra things that most other keyboards can't do. For example, you can trigger MULTIPLE actions with a single keypress depending on how far you press the key down. Let's see a normal keyboard do that. Perhaps more useful, you can use the keys in an analog mode for a game - think pressing the gas or brake on a car - where the further you press the key down, the more the game responds. Normally you need a controller with analog triggers for that.
So if you're in the market for a high end keyboard with a great typing feel, quiet sound and long life - and a few extras you can play with as well to customize it to your liking - this is a great option. Check it out today!

Excellent Gaming and All Purpose Keyboard

TLDR: Gaming keyboard with rosewood end panels, it connects via Bluetooth, wired and 2.4Ghz WiFi, pick one. Illuminated keycaps with multi colors or solid single color with 25 pre-programmed patterns to choose. Solid key stroke response, changeable switches and very solid performance. Full sized with numeric keys also.
The K10 works with Windows, Linux and Apple systems. The keyboard has 2 dedicated LEDS to indicate when an OS is chosen. The top function keys are toggled, using a dedicated FN function key, to also control audio volume, keyboard illumination, media controls, and other choices.
For example, with the Fn function control switch the speaker volume, media playback, illumination and your microphone, among other functions, can all be controlled with keyboard strokes. I used it with Windows 11. Some uses of the top row keys: Keys 1 & 2 on the top row facilitate the Bluetooth, keys 3 & 4 the WiFi, F7, F8 & F9 are media FastFwd, Rewind and Pause/Play, F10 & F11 are volume up & down. There is a dedicated microphone toggle key.
Users can utilize a KeyChron Launcher Web Configurator by visiting a website. This is a web based utility to adjust settings such as key colors, choosing pre programmed lighting sequences, customize keys, create macros to streamline repetitive keystrokes, and other functionality and modalities. With this app a user can customize the keyboard in endless ways.
There are 25 pre-programmed color effects, all of which can be customized in the Keychron Launcher website that recognizes your keyboard and allows you to change rhythms, colors, effects, macros, the HE switches, everything. I chose to settle on solid colors instead of the various effects and patterns for now but who knows, that may change later. The configurator application requires no downloading, just visit a website to run using a web browser and it instantly lets you customize to any whim as it instantly recognizes your keyboard. Very impressive. This web based configurator needs Chrome or a Chrome based browser to work so don't try it with Firefox. No need to find and download anything!
The left edge of the keyboard has 2 slide switches: They allow to toggle between Wired, Bluetooth or WiFi connections, and for use with either Mac OS/ios or Windows/Android.
The device is solid and very stable in use both for gaming, typing, or web browsing.
I wrote this review using the K10 and the keyboard is very comfortable and fits my fingers very well. It has heft so will not slide around while in use which is an issue with small bluetooth lightweight keyboards I have used previously.
I used the wired connection but also tried the Bluetooth and the WiFi 2.4 Ghz connections and they work fine. BTW, the USB-C has an efficient 90 degree right angle connector. The device arrives with a WiFi dongle with an extension wire to insure a very strong WiFi connection to your router. The KB uses a 4000 mAh rechargeable li-polymer battery with a rated charge life of 240 hours in use with no keyboard illumination, per the KeyChron website specs.. It charges via the USB-C cable. Some fast computation tells me that is 48 days if used 5 hours per day. I use it for personal use at home so it should last 2 months dark and 1 month fully illuminated month on a charge in my estimation when used wirelessly.
The K10 arrives with a key puller since some of the keys need to be changed per your preferred operations system if you use a Apple Mac, a Windows Computer, or an Android or Linux device. It is an easy task to swap out keys and to choose your OS by the web based KeyChron Launcher as described above.
In gaming use I had no issues whatsoever. Play was never lagged due to any keyboard issues. The keystroke action is precise and instant, with solid feel at all times to enable fast response and advances when needed. No one should fear not being able to meet any gaming insurgency, attack, or situation when using this keyboard.
The nicely finished rosewood end caps add a stylish uniqueness to this keyboard that most gaming keyboards lack. I like it both in aesthetics and in use.
Yes, highly recommended to everyone.

Beautiful keyboard!

What a first impression! This is the "Special Edition" and the aluminum keyboard has actual wood trim - it's like a fancy piece of furniture or artwork! It's definitely a very classy look. This is a full-size keyboard so there's no skimping on size - it even has a number pad which I prefer to have.
The Keychron K10 has wired, wireless 2.4, and bluetooth connectivity so there are multiple ways for it to communicate - simply by flipping a switch on the side of the keyboard . It can also be used with either a MAC or a windows computer with the flip of a switch. I'm a Windows person so can't provide info on the MAC features.
The keyboard has a nice weight to it so it easily stays in place and utilizes magnetic sensors to measure keystrokes for ultimate control. It features adjustable actuation points from .2mm to 3.8mm for precision and dynamic keystrokes allow a single key to perform multiple functions based on how far you press the key - ie press slightly to walk, harder to jog, and fully to run.
Built with an internal silicone pad and 3.5mm acoustic foam, it provides a soft sound yet still provides the satisfaction of a "click" when you type.
My only gripe is that there isn't a volume control knob like so many gaming keyboards. Although you can control the volume by pressing F10 (to decrease) and F11 (to increase) these only work if you also press the function key (fn) at the same time. As the K10 is loaded with features, I'm betting there's a way to "map" volume control but I just haven't figured it out yet.
Overall, it's a very impressive keyboard!

Great Mac-Centric Mechanical Keyboard with Caveats
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
As an avid Mac user and a touch typist, I am always on the lookout for a great mechanical Mac keyboard. This keyboard comes pretty close, but there are some shortcomings.
On the positive side, this is a mechanical keyboard designed for a Mac, although it will work on Windows as well with a simple slide of a physical toggle switch on the side of the keyboard. There are also several connection options including bluetooth, a 2.4GHz dongle, and a good 'ole fashioned USB (USB-C) cable. Personally, I prefer to not have to worry about recharging batteries on a keyboard and keeping it plugged in makes that a non-issue for me. I feel that I must mention, however, that the choice of included cables was somewhat interesting in that the USB as a USB-A to C. Aren't most computers today shipping with an abundance of USB-C ports? I would have preferred a USB-C to C cable included in the box. Given my current setup, I had to provide my own cable. Additionally, the USB-C port on the keyboard is recessed and several of my USB-C cables would not work because there was not enough "clearance" around the USB-C port to accommodate a bulkier termination on several of my cables. I can see how the recessed switches and port would be a nice feature aesthetically, but the practical result was a little annoying as I had to hunt through my cadre of cables to find one that fit well.
As far as the mechanical keys are concerned, they are magnetic, which provides for a great deal of customization. When paired with Keychron's online "Launcher" tool, the customization of the keys is pretty tremendous. You can set actuation distances from 0.2mm to 3.8 mm and also set up a "rapid trigger" feature with customizable trigger and reset distances. If you are a gamer, there are additional customizations such as one key multiple commands, long-press switch, snap click, last key priority, rocker curve settings, and a gamepad analog overlay (for lack of a better term). Even more incredible, in my opinion, is that these settings can be customized on a key-by-key basis. Keys can be mapped individually, RGB colors can be changed by each individual key, and there is a "Mix RGB" mode that allows for two different "key zones," each with a different RGB lighting effect. Overall, it is really impressive. The only issue I have is that, given the magnetic keys, one misses that firm tactile activation feedback that exists with physical (non-magnetic) keys. As a touch typist, I miss that feeling at which I know the key has (or should have) been activated. That is the tradeoff for the customization provided by magnetic switches, I suppose.
Speaking of the keys, I was a little disappointed that they are not double shot with LED backlit, illuminated characters. Given that the color of each key can be changed individually, that would have been a really cool feature. As it is, the keys themselves are nothing special, although there is a full row of Mac-centric keys at the top, which can be a challenge to find with other mechanical keyboards. The keys are more rounded at the top, as opposed to square, which does give a different look. From a tactile perspective, though, I think I actually prefer more square keys... They just seem a little more "substantial" when I type on them.
Probably the last thing I found disappointing is that there was no wrist wrest included. Given the considerable thickness of the keyboard, a wrist rest would have been nice. As it is, there is a little too much flexion in my wrists when I type given the height of the keyboard and the lack of a wrist rest.
The keyboard does have some good heft to it, so it does not slide around on my desk when typing, which is a good thing.
The keyboard did include a key removal tool, so the lack of double-shot keys should be easy to address by replacing the keys. Good luck finding a set of Mac-centric double-shot keys, though.
Ultimately, I guess I am a little lukewarm on the keyboard. It has some really nice features (that I will probably never use), the LEDs are bright and have rich color, and the keyboard works natively with my Mac. Beyond that, though, the USB-C cable issue, the lack of double-shot keys, and no wrist rest (along with the fact the magnetic keys do not provide the tactile feedback I prefer when typing) is enough for me to not give 5 stars. Realistically, I would be comfortable giving 4.5 stars, but as I cannot rate in half stars, a rating of 4 it is. Not bad, but not quite perfect (at least for me).

Standout keyboard from keychron

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Overall aesthetics on this keyboard and the materials are the standouts for this keyboard. I’ve always been a fan of the wood because it adds an element of warmth to normal industrial looks and what is more “simply must function” than a keyboard? That said, the wood accents really do feel purposefully added and gives this a premium element that I don’t generally feel even with nicer keyboards.
My one mitigating items is the keycap height. As someone who types fast, dragging your fingers from key to key feels like you’re having to climb across the next key slightly. Now this is a personal feeling item and why they make different height keycaps depending on your needs. In my case, I generally prefer standard height over low profile just so have definitive areas for the keys but this keyboard I was constantly hitting the edge of my finger as I moved to the next key. So for someone that likes deeper key wells, this is your keyboard!
Functionally, works like a top. Key presses and actuation are crisp and clean, overall material design feels premium, and I definitely think this will stand the test of time on my desk!
