“This keyboard is designed to work with windoz and Mac. But I can't find Apple replacement keycaps anywhere. This is the only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5.”
“Launching a game makes the board thinks it switch to Mac mode, swapping Alt and Win key. This is random and will usually happen when launching a game. The only fix I know is to unplug and replug the keyboard over and over again until it thinks its in Win mode…”

“Keychron has the best keyboard for keyboard enthusiasts. This is my 3rd and I have no notes. Exactly what I wanted, versatility, thockiness, and portability.”
