KeychronV1 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard, 75% Layout QMK/VIA Programmable Macro with Hot-swappable Keychron K Pro Brown Switch Compatible with Mac Windows Linux (Frosted Black - Translucent)

Great customiable keyboard. Touch and feel of keyboard is perfect.

I really enjoy this keyboard. I've had it for over a year and it has done very well. Zero connectivity issues. Build quality is very impressive for the price. Would reccomend.

I've previously used the Keychron V5 and was very satisfied with its key typing experience. When I found the more compact Keychron V1 for a slightly lower price, I didn't hesitate to purchase it.Firstly, I chose the brown switches, and the key typing is just as phenomenal as I expected. The keys are perfectly laid out, enhancing my productivity. It's not too heavy, making it portable, which is a great plus. Despite V1MAX being the wireless version, I opted for the V1 due to its translucent design. In the end, the wired connection turned out to be more stable, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with both the aesthetics and performance.One of the standout features for me was the evolution of the VIA web version. It made the setup incredibly easy, just plug and play. Additionally, I could utilize the Keychron Launcher web app, which added great value to the overall experience.The only regret I have is opting for the version without the knob. If you're focused on productivity, spending a bit more for the knob version is worthwhile. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compact yet efficient mechanical keyboard.

This keyboard is very well constructed. It feels very solid, and it weighs a lot more than I expected. The lighting feature is very nice - it has a whole bunch of different modes you can toggle through, and the lights themselves seem very high quality.The key presses are crisp and responsive. I've always used Logitech rubber dome keyboards until now, and by comparison this keyboard sounds a bit more clacky, but it's not unpleasant. I could easily get used to it.What I couldn't get used to was the fact that the keys take just a little bit more force to press than my other keyboards. I have minor wrist pain occasionally in one of my wrists, and 15 minutes of typing on this keyboard started to make my fingertips tingle and wrist hurt slightly in that hand.The keys also sit slightly higher above the desk than I'm used to, and they are more prominent than a regular non-mechanical keyboard. I think that's probably just standard for a mechanical keyboard, but a wrist rest might be advisable for people making the switch.

Reviews from people like EmbeddedFlyer DO NOT, represent the real value of the keyboard. If shine through keycaps matter that much, there are TONS of shine through keycap options on Amazon, that are easy to swap out with the keycap puller that comes with the keyboard. 0 Effort, and not as expensive as EmbeddedFlyer claims. A huge misrepresentation of the product and keyboards in general. Here is a REAL review of the keyboard.Build Quality: 4/5Typing Experience: 4.5/5Sound: 4.5/5Gaming: 4.2/5Overall Score: 85/100Now just to spite EmbeddedFlyer, I will go forward to debunk everything they have said aside from what I already have.- Small Fussy Switch (It's not fussy and extremely easy to switch back and forward)- Low Profile Keyboards (They are literally QMK/VIA Compatible, only right part is that they're not PBT but its not that much of a disappointment considering the keyboards.- Keyboard Response Time (They're literally equal to Razer SteelSeries keyboards, not sure where this assumption comes from.)- Spacebar (This is definitely just a defect in their model and doesn't represent the actual keyboards sound/quality. From my experience my spacebar is very responsive and doesn't feel like "a huge blob of grease on all [the 3 parts that are moving with it] moving parts)TL;DR Don't let Razer "gaming keyboard" fanboys like EmbeddedFlyer make you miss out on the chance to have a beautiful sounding, soft feeling keyboard like this one. A great purchase for someone just wanting a smaller keyboard layout or just getting into Custom Keyboards. Sure, its not the best, but it is a GREAT budget option.

The media could not be loaded. My review is based off the red linear switches. First of all, this keyboard has an excellent sound that I really like. When compared to my MacBook keyboard, it is leagues beyond. It is very smooth, and rather than my MacBook keyboard, it sounds satisfying. I also like how I can remove the keycaps and see the switches underneath. I don't use the adjustable feet often, but it can be useful. Although the keyboard is made of mostly plastic, it doesn't feel cheap, and comes in a nice texture/look. For $75 USD, this keyboard is amazing.

This is one great keyboard. I initially bought it to replace a cheap office keyboard. But it's giving my 300$ custom keyboard a run for it's money.I got the red switches and the smoothness is on par with my zealios V2 65gm if not better. Which is insane considering how expensive the latter is. The stabs are lubed in the factory but the spacebar and enter key had a very slight rattle that I fixed with some dielectric grease. This usually isn't an issue but I am very picky on that.The PCB looks high quality and of course supports QMK which is a major requirement for me. For the first time you need to reboot while holding the VIA button for qmk to detect it which is kinda wierd and not that intuitive. The key caps are straight up better that the ducky pbt's on my home KeyBoard.Yes there is no shine though but I'd much prefer that over Lower quality swiches and capsThe only negative is the plastic case, its not too bad but it doesn't feel as high quality as the rest of the keyboard.
