“Fantastically smooth design with sturdy make, elegant look and satisfying typing experience. The clicking is just right, and the keyboard feels incredible to type with.”
“caps lock, num lock and win/mac indicators don't work. Keychron support has no fix and a no free return policy that will cost me to return. Not worth it to send it back. One of the worst keyboards I have ever used and will wind up putting it in the trash.”
