“This is my favorite keyboard. After assembling my desktop pc, I had always felt a little awkward typing on normal sized mechanical keyboards. This keyboard solved that for me. I currently use mine for my desktop, and on the go with my Steam Deck.”
“Found this keyboard while cleaning out my closet and remembered why it's the worst purchase I've ever made. I used it for barely 2 months in total. First, keys started sticking. There were zero replacement parts on their website, so I contacted Keychron…”
