“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…”

“Amazing. Love the weight, keycaps, color. Knob placement could be much better. Spacebar leans to one side since I always press it on the right and gets uneven.”
“Keystrokes doesn’t have light instead a rainbow where i can’t focus when typing”
