u are wrong Sir! we love hearing critical feedback.

Thousands of people around the world have already gotten these boards without complaint. The switches themselves are called “low profile switches” and we never advertised the board as being a low profile keyboard.

[@psedach]

Dude I just bought it and returned it. The actual switches themselves type like *ss. They're horrible - worse than a membrane keyboard. Not only that if you are going to be replacing a daughter board it's not a stretch to re-solder a USB connector. I've soldered/switched micro-USB on a Bluetooth speaker... I'm not sure how much harder USB-C is but the micro-USB didn't require any specialized solder tips - just good flux and a 25$ soldering iron with smaller tip..

We’re one of the first to design a whole board for “cherry mx low profile switches.” And full disclaimer, we never advertised this board as a “low profile keyboard,” although it is a lot slimmer compared to the average mechanical keyboard. It’s all personal preference. We wanted to make something sleek and slim but with a great cherry mx typing experience.

[@Primu]

The separated USB connector is actually a very good design choice because keyboards with detachable cables are notorious for having loose USB ports after a while of use, so the separated chip is easier and cheaper to replace. Keychron has no plans to make layouts for non-US so that's out the window for me.

Thanks for this. I'm looking for this same tenkeyless design, like your keychron here. This is to type, not game. Full height MX browns are too much travel, I think -- something gives me pain. I have an old hp membrane which was fine, but wearing out. Apple magic keyboard switches, or MS surface, would be great -- but I can't find them in this layout, can you? If not then, then maybe the keychron k1. But which switch would be best for these purposes (no game, hurt wrists): low profile red, brown, or blue?

Damn Dave, first time seeing one of your videos and wow you actually reviewed and compared them in a meaningful extensive way! Taking them apart, comparing them to multiple other keyboards and demonstrating the quirks on these seemingly 'universal' features. Amazing! Best of all you even recorded the sound of typing on them in quick succession, you can tell so much about a keyboard by how it sounds, it's a major aspect. I hit the keys hard but shallow, and so big, heavy, clicky mechanical switches don't suit me because it sounds like I'm drumming and occasionally the keys won't register because I don't depress them far enough, so I use low profile, short & flat keyboards that are quiet. Was seriously interested in the concept of a low profile mechanical keyboard but your review has saved me like what $150? Thanks man. Genuinely. Thank you. Subbed.

How about the Cooler Master SK653 wireless mechanical? Im not looking for a low profile kb, something in between low profile and mechanical.

[@sxberonyt]

What about the SK621? Is that a good keyboard that I could buy?

[@turkeyphant]

Hi Dave, can you recommend any low profile 75% or 60% keyboards? The Keychron K1 looks great but is far too big at 87 keys. The SK621 as you point out is not low profile. Same with the Royal Kludge RK61/Skyloong K61/Anne Pro 2/Ducky One2/Vortexgear Pok3r. The Hexgears X-1 is close but too big, same with Tesoro and Havit KB390L. The few serious options I can see are the Logitech K380, Bazalia 8839, Magic_Refiner MK10 and Apple Magic Keyboard but they all have their flaws...

turkeyphant gk84 plz

[@turkeyphant]

@@dkimmortal Not remotely low profile.

I'd also consider a compact board with ten key and bluetooth as long as it's low-profile. Unfortunately there are only really two realistic candidates, the Hexgears X-1 and Drevo Joyeuse version 1. Unfortunately both are almost impossible to find and the X-1 has many flaws including very flaky bluetooth and faulty switches while the Drevo is even rarer in the bluetooth form, is a bit bulky and has that hideous gap. My endgame would probably be a bluetooth Vortex Tab 90M but without the bezel and with low profike keys instead of the massive ones it sports. A Red Scarf III or Vortex Race 3 colour scheme for keycaps would be great too.

Hi Dave. Great vid as usual. :) They need to create a keycap set for these but with a strong angled bezel to make the top of the cap take less space which in turn will spread them apart. They should also make the whole set to have a concave curvature (albeit shallower) along the vertical axis as in a normal mech keyboard. With those in place they would have a nice KB. The sound of the keys is quite perfect already. Optionally, since the keycap's bezel are angled they could leave the last 2mm at the bottom of each cap white, allowing the caps to have a nice RGB lit border. CoolerMaster should just team up with Corsair and both use iCUE (make iCUE a framework for all these companies) instead of competing for RGB implementations. Having multiple RGB apps is a big NO NO! Wireless makes no sense, who would bring a laptop along with a KB anyway? Only pro gamers I guess, and they prefer to go wired anyway. So I would save the cost of a wireless device and use the extra resources to create a better keyboard.

Help me out pls. On that keychron k1 you have, what keycaps do you use. Is that custome u made by your own, or bought somewhere? I'm keychron k3 user, but I cannot find some any other keycaps except regular one. But yours keycaps looks awesome, where did you get it, I WANT IT!!!

[@dharmesh_padhra]

Hay should i buy gaming laptop without numpad of with it. I am confused because some games uses numpad like GTA V for aircraft controls. Please help me to decide.

[@wh0_am_152]

I actually like how they have the USB C PCB seperate from the main PCB, it makes it easier to replace the port down the line (and my family usually needs to retire keyboards because of damages connectors that we don't have time to fix, which meana we often end up purchasing a ton of cheap keyboards).

[@abubakrakram6208]

Is the Keychron K1 really $75 for an RGB, Bluetooth, mechanical keyboard?! And one that looks so good AND charges over USB-C?!?! It looks way too good to be true for such a low cost.

[@Loke765]

AbuBakr Akram LED is $74 but RGB is $84

[@luukvanoijen7082]

For the money of the rgb version you could also get an anne pro 2. Not low profile, but it has the features you listed and im really loving it right now

[@klae1441]

シュラ motospeed ck61 is rgb Bluetooth mechanical and its $40

[@KeesHessels]

Hei Dave, question: should i go for the vulcan 121 or the keychron k1 purely from an typing and quality experience...

[@emrysvikrant7836]

Where can i find the black keycaps? Is it the original model? Or just custom by yourself?

[@meetsheth6939]

[@asdjesdsd]

i am looking for a wireless keyboard with battery that last for ages, any recommendations?

[@marcomilo7566]

I don’t have the typing problems as I’m used to laptop keyboards and I’m only 12 so I have small hands do you still think they are good?
