I now understand the hype behind Keycron keyboards after using the K10 HE. It's quiet, it's comfortable, the backlighting is fun without being obnoxious, and it's just an all-around solid performer. Mac users will appreciate that, by default, it's configured for macOS computers instead of Windows PCs, but don't fret my Windows PC friends - you're a couple of key swaps away from a traditional Windows layout. Unboxiing and setup - This is definitely a premium keyboard, and the packaging lets you know this before you even open it. You'll find the keyboard itself in a nicely-padded foam box, and it comes with a receiver, a USB--C to USB-A adapter, a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and wired usage, and a small toolkit that covers key and switch swaps along with removing the wood accents from the sides of the keyboard itself. A USB-C to USB-C cable would have been a nice addition here for modern Mac users. The keyboard itself is heavy. The metal frame makes it very solid, with virtually zero flex. It's definitely not one you'd want for a LAN party packout, but the weight does make it more difficult to shift around on your desk when you're hammering away at the keys. The included wireless adapter plugs into any available USB-A port and provides nearly the same latency as a wired connection, complete with 1000Hz polling for lightning-fast response in games or in everyday usage. There is also Bluetooth connectivity that provides 250Hz polling and is relatively lag-free as well. Usage - I have a large collection of keyboards from many enthusiast brands at this point - my wife would say too many, but I find enough differences between them all where swapping one for another makes a difference in how my typing experience is. The K10 definitely hits well above its price point, as I prefer it to keyboards I have that cost twice to three times as much. In fact, this may be my new favorite keyboard. Even going beyond the Hall effect keys, I'm a fan of the satisfying thunk that isn't obnoxiously loud. The response feel ranks up there with some classic keyboards from the 80s and early 90s. The only thing that could make the K10 better in my book would be an adjustment mechanism like what Apple used in the Extended Keyboard II; while most people will appreciate having two angles to select from instead of the typical single angle of elevation, I want the angle between the two options given with the elevation feet. Speaking of those Hall effect keys, gamers will appreciate that they can adjust where the actuation point is, meaning you can set how far the key goes down before it registers a "click". All in all, other than my one little nitpick, the Keychron K10 is a very solid choice for gaming, productivity, and everything in between.

Easy setup from setting the connection and replacing keys.

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!

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!

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).

Never got due to use of Toadie which is such a 5th rate service that their drivers can't follow instructions.

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!
