“I’ve never used a keychron keyboard before and am disappointed i hadnt learned about it sooner! The keys are solid and the keyboard works better than expected.”
“Just purchased this keyboard but immediately found out that the backspace key does not work (literally just unpacked it from the box) - tried testing it on Keychron’s key tester and doesnt register at all… Did not expect such poor quality given the price”

“This was my first splurge on a keeb, and I worried whether it would be worth the price. It is worth EVERY penny! The craftsmanship, the detail, the quality, and the features all exceeded my expectations. I especially love that it seems to have been designed…”
