“Looks good, sounds good, preformed good but the software is a bit slow to recognise the keyboard and one of the clips on the back is a bit broken, it is hard to click and is loud”

“Second Keyboard I buy from Keychron! I live in El Salvador and it arrived on time and perfectly. Extremely comfortable, outstanding switches. Best keyboard I've had in my life.”
