Praise
“Really its 4.5 because of the headaches i had trying to setup the wireless dongle. Fixed by redownloading the firmware, and could finally pair with the dongle.”
Z.G.Verified buyer· via Keychron

5.0

1 owner reviews

Praise
“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…”
