“I switch between my laptop and tablet throughout the day and Bluetooth pairing has been seamless. Typing is nearly silent, which is great for shared spaces.”

“This thing is pure quality from the software all the way to the build itself. It's got a lot of heft to it and the material is very nice. The Keychron software is amazing too, there is no app or anything you just go to the Keychron launcher on your browser…”
