“A nice Full sized mechanical keyboard under 100$ is a good deal and it's type experience is really good.”
“Working so I sent it to place to fix it and they quoted me something crazy but the other keyboard I ordered still works I do not understand why it stopped working”

“Neither big legs nor small legs. No legs at all 🤣 For me, this is not what I've expected from keychron, because every keyboard has legs.”
“I love this thing. I wish there were these changes: Cable mode was switch in position closest to the outer edge of keyboard. Extra usb-c which is another port, I'd like to plug my 2fa device in there. Sort out why the programmer doesn't work under arch linux…”
