Keychron K3 - The Portable Wireless Mechanical Keyboard For Travel

[@novaa263]

I don’t have a pc or even anything I’d want to use this on, but I still watch for the sheer quality of your vids. Well done lad

[@MatthewMora]

lol! thank you sir.

[@djcarlo]

What a professional channel. Hope you get subs!

[@Ballacha]

i think keychron made a series of very smart decisions with this keyboard. low profile attracts mac/laptop users. choice of different switches (with limited hot swap option) attracts hobbyists. optical switches and 1000hz polling rate attract gamers. portability attracts people who have the "always on the go" life style. and those consumer types aren't mutually exclusive. if you tick more than 2 of those boxes, this keyboard will look more and more like your ideal choice. i've owned it for a few months now. it's excellent wherever i take it.

Detailed and insightful review! And the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole is so REAL lol

[@MatthewMora]

Perfect time to jump down that rabbit hole with work from home 😵

[@ShaferHart]

I successfully avoided falling into this particular rabbit hole for years but managed to fall into it in the end 🤦‍♂️

[@TheRealSolidSnake]

Such a nice video, the quality, man! Keep up the good work, hope you get more subs!

[@AlphaMatt1000]

Blues definitely the best, I have a K1 full size and ordered a K3 with the same blue switches. Nothing beats the tactile and click feedback as someone who codes a lot.

[@coleferrer]

the RGB show was neat-o

[@MatthewMora]

I got triple monitors too 😏😂

[@James-uz9se]

I got this one about a week ago, it’s so good!

[@ChancellorMaple]

very nice video and informative. you deserve more than 1.9k subs

[@MatthewMora]

Appreciate it!

[@rimuru9025]

Thanks! Great review with a bit of the keyboard shortcuts. I've always been wondering how to do those wonderful functionalities are done when watching other reviews, this review taught me that, and now I'm more convinced of trying out this keyboard.

[@pushstartwithandz]

Great review. You touched on important parts like the switches, how easy it is to use it with your Mac/Windows set up. Convinced me to save up for one.

[@Rastabuoy25]

Great video. I have the k3 with black optical and loving it so far.

[@MatthewMora]

I'm really enjoying it on my windows devices and iPad. What's yours paired to?

[@Rastabuoy25]

@@MatthewMora it is paired with windows,MacBook pro and iPad

[@mufidalkhaddour1379]

I ordered the black optical version myself, how do they feel? Are they quiet?

[@KamilleN16]

I looove this keyboard. Just got it

[@HenriqueCavalcanti]

Great video. Would love to have seen you use the switch tester, to hear the other switches and help everyone make a decision. I ordered a K3 a week ago with the orange switches, the leather pouch and the switch tester without seeing any review about the orange switch. That's why I ordered the switch tester, so I can decide later if I need to swap to another color.

[@MatthewMora]

Thanks! Good point and a complete oversight by me. I'll record and upload a quick clip of the tester set sound and put it in the description or cards of this video when I get some time. The travel pouch looks nice and would be very handy though I really should've ordered it with the keyboard to save on shipping.

[@HenriqueCavalcanti]

@@MatthewMora Will be great for sure, these optical switches by keychron are new and I believe no one posted a video showing them all yet. But as I said, great video mate, will check more content from your channel for sure!

Good quality video, kudos!

[@andieluke1366]

Love the review. Subbed!

[@antoniofilipe70]

Hello did you find some translucent key-caps compatible to this keyboard (K3 Pro) ? If Yes, where can I buy it? Thank you very much . Keep the very good work

[@ebu632]

nice video, is the white switch smooth or scratchy af?????

[@chriscasillas]

Great video! I have a K1 on my desk right now with brown switches. I love the low profile mechanical keyboard. I've had my eye on the K3 ever since I heard about it. The plastic bottom kind of worries me. The K1 has a full aluminum frame (except the end caps) that gives it a very sturdy and premium feel. But I really like the smaller footprint of the K3. Still not sure if I'll switch.

[@colemowery]

I wanted the k1 TKL, but ultimately got the k3 because reviews said they had far less key wobble. has that been an issue for you?

[@chriscasillas]

@@colemowery If you grab an individual key and try to wobble it, it definitely has some wobble. When you're just typing on the keyboard, it's not noticeable to me at all.

[@theaveragejuan]

Nice video bro. This is currently out of stock on their website. Looking to try this out too.

[@bill3117]

What is the difference(s) between the K3 and the K2 keyboards. Can you use a cable connection full-time without hurting the internal battery?

[@AyushThakur-fl3bg]

I have k3, I recommend it. It's quite smooth

[@TuGordoBello]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@bryanco5920]

Hows the bt connection on the mac?

[@littlemes7583]

awesome quality video.. may i ask what camera you use to record?

[@MatthewMora]

Thank you. I use the Sony A7iii and 95% of the shots are with the Tamron 28-75

[@diegosancheztirado3243]

Are the blue switches too loud or abnoxious? I ask this because this will be my first time purchasing a keyboard, I mainly use it for typing but occasionally for gaming. Are blue switches too loud to type or focus. Also where do you buy the low profile switches.

[@MatthewMora]

I’m used to the clicky sound from the blue switches but I can see them being too loud if you share a space with someone else. Call me crazy but I’ve always loved the clicky sound and almost found it soothing lol. But I’ve kept the white switches on for the last few weeks as a change and starting to really enjoy the quieter keyboard. The low profile switches for this board can only be purchased from keychron at the moment.

[@SomeBleu]

Honestly, blue switches are pretty loud for new users. I’d recommend either brown if you like to feel feedback on your presses while being quiet.

[@EnVoltage]

Can you do a detailed video on the G Pro X on the PS5 by any chance? I'd love to hear if mic monitoring works and if the sound quality is better compared to the 7P and if it supports Tempus audio.

[@Elevengotone]

if i get this, which switches should i get

[@alirally1263]

great video, is it worth wating for optical browns to restock or just buy mechanical browns as mechanical browns are the only ones in stock at the moment :(((((

[@MatthewMora]

The mechanical browns feel good on my tester set but I prefer the optical browns. Wow, looks like all optical switch options are sold out right now...if you're thinking about going for the gateron mechanical browns just note that they are not hot-swappable :(

[@alirally1263]

@@MatthewMora yeah that’s true, are the optical browns more ‘tactile’ because I don’t want it to be loud but still want to get a response from the keys

[@MatthewMora]

@@alirally1263 the optical browns feel more tactile than the mechanical browns imo. The optical browns are pretty quiet and they sound a touch louder than the linear optical whites in the video.

[@alirally1263]

@@MatthewMora cool I’ll wait for the optical browns then, have you considered making a video out of the switch tester ??

[@mariasxhmh]

I placed an order with optical browns just before they went out of stock, but from the looks of it I will still have to wait at least a month before the keyboard is shipped - let alone delivered. The switch comparisons were not really available on reviews or online info, so anyone who can provide some more input on comparing them than just sound would be appreciated by a lot of indecisive buyers. I wasn't sure about the browns myself, but decided to risk it since I could at least swap them out to something that I would consider better in the future. As a backup, I also ordered a set of orange switches sinc according to the specifications their actuation force should be closer to the keyboards I use currently (which is almost perfect for me) compared to the blues.

[@mtboydiary]

I heard the low profile blue switch is quieter than the average blue switch, is that correct?

[@David-tz1oi]

Yes it's true

[@jessicaye1215]

I've ordered the K3 with optical brown switch and it takes forever to ship...lol

[@brandonlim9536]

Hi, thanks for the great review. Can I check with you how has your experience been with the bluetooth connectivity? Any dropped connections or latency when typing? The keyboard I have always goes into standby mode and the 2-3 second delay to get it to respond really frustrates me haha! Was wondering if the Keychron K3 had the same problems. Thanks!

[@jjpark98]

From my experience, all Keychron keyboards have a auto sleep feature but you can turn this off. I believe if you press fn + S + O all at the same time for 3 seconds, it should turn it off.

[@johnmercado6138]

Keychron k3 vs Logitech MX keys?

[@abangmadi1699]

bought already... and change out the thin ABS stock keycaps with double shot PBT keycaps, (PBT HyperX Pudding Keycaps)... it is just for my personal comfortability and I preferred the sound and feel is good with PBT keycaps.. *my personal preference...🤞✌😎

[@thecat4272]

I've had this for several months now. Looks nice but the key caps are tiny and the typing action unsatisfying. Gimmicks over substance.

[@JimIBobIJones]

Have to say my experience is quite the opposite. I have a couple of full size mechanical keyboards (Cherry blue, cherry browns and Logitech Roamer G) for my computers at home and bought the K3 for office use (we hot-desk, and the shared keyboards get a bit gross). The keys are lower but the "surface area" is pretty much the same size as a normal keycap. With the wrist-rest, the typing experience is pretty close to a normal mech keyboard. The shroter actuation and travel could take a bit of getting used to, but the experience is quite similar to "gamery" full size swiches with faster/shorter actuation. It makes more of a difference if you prefer/are only used to "classic" switches like Cherry blues, browns, reds etc.

[@shervin5942]

Which combination (optical (y/n) and variant) would you prefer for no gaming use, just typing a lot and fast (lawyer) and for programming?

[@cocobunjee6676]

Fail. Righthand shift too small for a typist.

[@iam_nick]

Build quality is average weak if you bring it around. Be aware.

BUDGET KEYBOARD XDDDDDDDDD

[@ThorsShadow]

For a mechanical keyboard, this is insanely budget. Look at your standard "gaming" mechanical keyboard. They are 150 to 200 or more bucks. Most non-gaming mechanical keyboards often also cost 100~120 bucks. Keychron's keyboard cost below 100 bucks.

[@danm5386]

@@ThorsShadow couldnt agree more! Companies like Corsair, Razer, and many more lean mostly to making keyboards for gaming. However, with this K3 this is more like a minimalistic, productivity, not to much RGB keyboard that is perfect for anyone that also want a slim keyboard profile
