[@rubalaji82]

My scenario is exactly same, I had a good experience with apple magic keyboard and I wanted to connect with multiple devices so purchased mx keys and it worked so well then I broke it. After lot of youtube videos and pouring good reviews, I tried keychron k8 pro and nuphy air 75. They are good but I get typos, and a lot of connectivity issues, k8 pro's height is an issue to me, It cannot be used without a palm rest. I dint like either of these keyboards. I was trying to buy mx mechanical keyboard for the last few months. But, every review in internet makes me double think that decision. Your video gave me the confidence to purchase it and my typing experience is back to normal. I am subscribing to your channel as a token of appreciation :) Keep doing this!

[@JottaaHD]

Hey! Did you end up buying it? If so, how has it been? I'm kind of on the same boat, I use an apple magic keyboard for work and its great, small, light and I'm faster and make less mistakes on it. For my gaming PC I have a mechanical keyboard with cherry MX browns but I wanted to get a single keyboard for both PCs and was torn on what to get because the mechanical gives me fatigue after a while, and the height isn't desirable, and the apple magic keyboard is great but for gaming not so much and it can't even be paired to more than one device.

[@elyt]

This is actually true. When I was on my Logitech K380, I type pretty fast. Same for the MacBook Pro 13 2020's keyboard. But when I tried one of my fave keybs the Keychron K3 v2, there was a significant difference with my typing speed. Made me slowww

[@thesamuelnam]

Aha! I'm not the only one.

[@mr.chiken]

That's because different keys have more actuation force but this is just an assumption, I don't actually have an idea if why you having this problem.

[@Harvester88]

I thought I was crazy. I have a MX mechanical mini and love the feel (browns). I also have a G915 TKL brown, for gaming it’s fine, but for typing, it was terrible ! Now I’m looking at a NuPhy Air 75v2 or the Lofree Flow.

[@teilorsoares8864]

I liked the K3 but the dealbreaker for me was the battery dying after just one year and having no option to replace it; and this seems to be a know problem for all K3 Ultra-slim models.

[@mr.e5722]

What? its replaceable and the same issues happen on many batteries, in ex. even Macbook laptops.

[@stón_1]

Totally agree, I switched from MX keys to Keychrone and it sucked, most annoying thing for me was the Bluetooth connectivity, was unusable

[@UP209D]

Reason should be that you are a chicklet typer, should try Nuphy Air 75 instead of Keychron K3 firstly

[@TeamWRCM97]

[@thesamuelnam]

Lol. Then I sold the worse one for a not bad one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIK6Xol7hdZ4rpo

[@leakyabstraction]

Had the exact same experience with Keychron years ago... I had a single keyboard from them and I still have nightmares. I had to retype my first word all the time. Totally unusable pain in the ass keyboard that was. Not to mention that one was thick like a brick, but if they still haven't fixed basic features like this I won't touch them with a pole. That's the sad thing about niche mechanical keyboard brands... They're so much behind brands like Logitech on the connectivity front. The connection is instant and rock solid, and device switching between 3 devices on Logitech MX products work exceptionally well.

[@christopher1800]

Logitech keyboards have their own flaws though. Strange layout decisions and no freakin wired connection for the mx keys mini. Why-oh-why?? Currently using the mini with Linux, which is also a pain, and the connectivity issues (wait for a few seconds to Bluetooth connect) are there. So in Windows they probably solve it from the software side. Gonna try the Nuphy Air75 v2 now.

[@aaron.l5342]

I've been using a k3 for 18months now, and I totally agree with you. The most annoying part is the sleep mode. It's very inconsistent and it often takes too long to wake up, enough to disrupt my day to day tasks

You can turn it off. Hold fn+S+O for 3 seconds to disable the Auto Sleep Mode.

I owned the K3, thought it was garbage, sold it for the MX Mech Mini. Great features but mediocre rattly typing action. Sold it for the Lofree Flow.

[@erwickdsouza]

I don't understand, what do you think is the reason you lost speed? Key placement, too hard to press keys?

[@cmja09]

i got both of those keychron wireless low profile, one like that and one smaller, no F1-12 keys. And now upgraded to ROG Falchion low profile, and maybe it's the keychron actuation point. I'm having lots of accidental keypresses when i transitioned we're a lil similar tho, i never mod my keebs, i mean i got the time but i dont find the joy in that. i aint that keyboard guy

[@satsumaorange17]

Holy shit! I thought it was just me. I literally make a TON of typing mistakes on the Keychron K3 v2. I thought it was just a me problem until I purchased the K3 Pro. The typing experience between the two keyboards are just LEAGUES apart. I can type without worrying about making mistakes on the K3 Pro.

[@AndrewP]

Had exactly the same experience. At first, I thought that I had ruined my typing habits by years of using small laptop keyboards, but, at the same time, I had no issues with regular full-size Logitech desktop keyboards. The Keychron was the issue.

[@VOVOPERADOR]

@@AndrewP well but in his case, he fixed the issue by getting a different keychron, not getting away from keychron itself

[@azin6732]

[@fighteden]

Have the same problem, i changed to the Keychron K2 v2 instead, all problems gone. Wakes up faster and also makes me type way faster.

[@spacechannelfiver]

Nice review, have a sub. I actually quite like this keyboard - but as a programmer my requirements are for precision and a much heavier reliance on things like tabs and symbols rather than speed so it suits me fine. I'm also a gamer so I have an inherent distrust of anything wireless, so running it over bluetooth never even ocurred to me. Finally, as a Brit our options are much more limited with keyboards as we have our own special layout and I cant unprogram 30 years of expecting the return key to be double height and using a US layout drove me absolutely mental. I really really like the Apple keyboard a lot, but it's always a bit off if you aren''t using a Mac - and i'm primarily Windows or Linux. Have tried the even smaller keyboards, but end up wanting to smash them against the wall as function keys and arrow keys are a cut too far and completely essential for writing code unless you are some kind of nutcase that does everything in Vim Edit: One big downside for me that it's really difficult to source Low Profile keycaps, especially in a UK layout. The ones included aren't bad but feel a bit silky and would prefer some nicer ones with a bit more texture to them and in a couple of extra colours so I could pick out important keys for like WASD and Blender in a different tone as am not a touch typer and visual cues help my fingers land on the right place.

[@Benson.BereTV]

So what did you choose? Keychron k3?

[@spacechannelfiver]

@@Benson.BereTV obviously yes, brownish switches

[@gregh9762]

I did it the other way around.. Came from apple wireless keyboard (pre-magic) and lenovo trackpoint keyboard, the goal was to replace both and kept only one on my desk. In hindsight I should've probably try the mx keys first but caught a mech fever. mx mech: seamless connection with flow, faster wake up, BUT not hot swappable. No cable mode but I don't really care about this since I already on unifying and bolt ecosystem, overall it is too expensive if I had to bought it myself. K3: hot swappable, affordable, great even for the price. It needs some time to wake up but I can get used to it since once it wake up it wake up while mx mech sleeps a lot. My only gripe is that it's only BT or cable mode, no 2.4 rf..

[@Nekotaku_TV]

WTH, that should be concerning if he ate it and it didn't come out... So weird... wth is the difference? I crave a flat keyboard but they just don't exist with the layout I want. Also the wake up gotta have a fix... that's so bad. I wouldn't use it wireless anyway though.

[@timcodex]

I refunded my Logitech keyboard as their low-profile keys are very wobble.

[@maxpathan7927]

nice. very entertaining and practically informative. Ive watch 8million hours of mechanical keyboard videos and still can decide if i should get the logitech mini. Its just a little expensive, but having the windows and mac graphics on the keys means i can use both without changing the keys and that might just be the clincher for me

[@leafamrit]

It probably isn't just about practice and getting used to it either. I've been using normal-profile mechanical keyboards for over 6 years now, and have averaged 80-85wpm. One day I stepped into a store and tried a MacBook - 100+ first try. Have been using it since as the primary keyboard. Great to know there are others who prefer these keyboards as well! I have been brainwashed by the mechanical supremacist media into keeping mine and trying to fit in.

[@alimuhammad813]

Why do you think you were slower on keychron? deeper key travel? or hard to punch keys? Asking because I am seriously interested in buying a keychron.

[@worksonweekends]

The reason is probably that the keychron has deeper press. I love keychron compared to the MX keyboards or magic keyboard. I will give the MX mechanical a try though.

[@joeltheowl3299]

I now hate the MX Keys because I was planning on buying a cheap mini keyboard to use instead of the laptop's, but I went to a store where they had the MX keys on display and I tried it and now I'm gonna spend an extra 60 euros because it instantly felt 10 times better than the cheap ones.

[@FabioVaz]

It’s not your fault; I was watching this video while thinking about my new keyboard... and I don’t know why, but my typing speed is much slower on the Keychron.

[@Donni_10]

K3 is almost perfect,dont like how the keycaps are , still low profile keyboards need to be much lower profile , if they just cut the extra travel distance... Mechanical keyboards sucks so much , imagine actuating at 2mm and fcking traveling 2 mm more for no fcking reason just to delay you , its the dumbest thing on earth. Never buying mechanical keyboards again ,and I tried a bunch, its for sheeps. Anger aside , a lot is preference, but I dont get the dumb extra travel distance that destroy most keyboards for me.

[@HLS6935]

I’ve only used Apple Magic Keyboards for the last decade. But I recently ordered 4 different keyboards during a sale including the K3. I’m now super torn about keeping it, or returning it. I love basically everything about it, however it feels like it’s fighting me just a little when I type on it. I bought a used K2 V1 and that feels far smoother. Ah! I can’t decide.

[@shaunak2781]

[@NJ-wb1cz]

It pisses me off (perhaps irrationally) when KZbinrs review products but don't research their gripes and things they dislike. It's fine if you couldn't do something or didn't want to do it, but at least spend 15 minutes before spending hours on a video and provide some perspective on the issues you mentioned and how all of them can be fixed

[@hedition9346]

Keychrons are very overrated. I am using the K17 pro, and still using because I need that particular layout with QMK VIA. Terrible battery life, no 2.4ghz. I will never get another Keychron again.

[@regisjohn11]

I think it is not just the travel/actuation distance that might be giving him the issue since he loved other low profile ones like Nuphy and Lowfree, I think the suspect is the angled keycaps. The keychron k3 has a weird keycap profile that is tapered away from you which is uncommon for keyboards and I found myself having to angle my wirst over it quite a lot insead of having it hover above the keyboard. Take a look at images or videos to notice the reverse tapering of these keys!

[@accendo1979]

keychron is good, but for the life of me, I cant understand why they release it with keys that dont support RGB. Won't be buying a second one. I think there is an issue with the keychron, I think it times out on bluetooth and misses your key presses. Also the RGB sux on keychron, you can only have one solid colour which is red, the rest is rainbow only options. Already looking to replace it

[@UnwantedCommentary]

Thats how I feel with the shitty low profile thin keys. They made me so slow

I literally just swapped my Keychron for Logitech Mechanical and it's night and day difference. And to be honest - the Keychron does suck. I was only getting 2 days battery life with the backlight off. With the logitech I get ten MONTHS battery life! no contest.

[@lp1009]

No, keychron does not suck. It is preference. I had logitech g915 mechanical for years and when i switched to keychron k8 pro. It was night and day difference. Another thing to note is that the keyboard he is reviewing has different profile than my keychron. It just comes down to preference at the end of the day

Exactly the same experience with a different keychron model. Slower and less accurate. Might be how it's spaced. Typing even faster with my laptop keyboards.

Logitech use Logibolt which is proprietary tech borrowed from their gaming device. Thats why its so seamless.

[@aysbg]

I am exactly the same and we are, defintely, not the same build type. I type very fasts on the macbook's keyboard, the apple wireless keyboard and the MX keys but I utterly suck on most of the mech keyboards that I have tried so far.

[@Veretax]

Just to point out for some folks, being slower, might be a benefit if it allows us to think a bit more before typing. (no not for everyone)

[@josephsalaba8290]

Not sure how important it is to normal typing, but I've found the k3 has an absurdly slow scan rate, meaning pressing two keys within an incredibly short timespan causes a delay on the second press. I use mine for gaming mostly so it's a bit more important there.

[@kdietz65]

I tried typing on it and I typed just as fast or a little faster. But I noticed that the key travel feels to me just slightly less deep than my other low profile keyboards, and I think this could be messing you up on your ultra fast typing.

[@RS-chino]

I have the MX mechanical mini, just like that. I saw the reviews of the Bluetooth speed to connect and input lag for the K3 and knew I'd hate it.

What switches did you get on the cron and the mx keys? I'm opposite. I have no issue on my macbook. No issue on magic key. No issue with logitech mx mini, or even the $30 logi popkeys. But. Before I got most of those, I got the MX keys mechanical mini. I don't know why I didn't get rid of it sooner. Worst keyboard ever. I mean it's a fine keyboard. its my issue. I can't type on it. I make 10x more typos than any other keyboard I have ever used. I'm also not a mechanical keyboard person. So I assume from that experience that all mechanical keyboards sucks and are just too easy to typo or trigger the keys. The slightest pressure will trigger it. I got the brown keys on it btw. Mech keys guys say this isn't a "real" mech keys. But what I do know? I am happy with all my keyboards. Apple. Logitech mx mini, pop. But I can't stand the MX mechanical. I literally smashed it with a hammer after I got something else and realized how I have been tormenting myself with this junk for so long. Yes I smashed a $150 keyboard with a hammer because I dislike it that much. I offered it to my kid for his games, but they don't want it.

It's the travel distance.. Once you get used to those thin keyboards, MX keys, laptop keys, etc. Normal keyboards just have way too long of a travel.

[@lornelorne5727]

You're not supposed to bottom-out the keys though... The extra travel room on a normal keyboard gives you a buffer space for softer cushioning, instead of just slamming down to a solid bottom like you're probably doing on a low profile keyboard.

[@rajeshrs1496]

@@lornelorne5727 That is of course what you would do with a mechanical keyboard but every keyboard is designed a little differently and you have the variation of the human hand, as well, resulting in thin, low travel being the best option.

And why would this company omit such a vital feature? Bluetooth/2.4Ghz - only (like the MX keys mini) make these keyboards useless for IT hobbyists / pro's. Boot menus / BIOS cannot be accessed. Also, some poor decisions for the layout of the Mini: page-up/down is a keyboard combo, no screen brightness, etc. I have always found at least one major flaw in every single Logitech keyboard.

For me the only thing that matters is accuracy when typing. I hate when I press one key and its neighboor key is pressed as well. And in some keyboards I tend to do way more mistakes than others, no idea what causes it though.

[@harryayce11]

[@kozas0]

@@harryayce11 No clue, still searching various options. Only thing that I have figured so far is that Brown switches which in theory are exactly for this, for the feedback they provide, don't help at all, cause the feedback is very little and the key is pressed on most of them before even you get the feedback. Blue switches help A LOT but I can't stand the noise they are doing, they are distracting me from what I am trying to write... Black switches so far (just got today a new keyboard with Black switches) work better than the Browns. If you don't mind the noise of the Blue switches definitely go for them, they are probably the most accurate, due to this.

Normal keyboards and most keyboards are completely flat. It's really not surprising that you would be equally as fast across many different flat keyboards versus a keyboard with slight rounding

There is a famous Korean PC parts site where you can find keyboards with given criteria. If I set the criteria to backlit and ten-key-less and order them by lowest price, almost ALL of them are Bluetooth. This is so stupid. Other than Logitech (and maybe Apple and Microsoft?), those companies DO NOT have good Bluetooth technology like long battery life and no sleep/awake delay. Why make it Bluetooth when you can't make them useable? Jusy make it wired and remove Bluetooth/battery. That will make it cheaper and smaller. I have tried a K3 myself and felt the same thing. Its Bluetooth is impractical for desktop use (maybe only good for very occasional laptop use), and I switched to wired mode. Since it has a battery, it kept showing that green "fully charged" LED even when the PC was off in wired mode (BT turned off). Stupid.

Hi, friend. I apologize for my English, I typed it in a translator. I also bought a K3 V2 from KeyChron, I am also pleased with the assembly and backlight, but also the typing on the keyboard is slower than on the apple magic keyboard. The most irritating thing is its short battery life (about 2-3 days with backlight) and problems with communication, it often loses, it’s true. But I stayed on K3, tried the Logi MX mini, which is in the video, an excellent keyboard, but it seemed too big and sweeping, and the backlight also worked strangely, which is not adjustable and turns on only in the dark. As a result, I'm looking towards NePhy to replace the apple magic keyboard. Oh, yes, the keys in Keychron also begin to creak over time, which is also annoying. P.S. Im a not keyboard guy too! :) Peace.

it was my second mechanical keyboard definitely not a keyboard guy and i love the k3 v2 i got better typing speed than my old cheapest mechanical i could find, but my accuracy got worse which i guess i will get better with time, for gaming though it's perfect, also went with brown switches but the custom even more low profile ones and i like it

you might want to get lighter linear switches. the thing is with mechanical keyboards is customizability. my main is a 61split spacebar with multiple switch types. letter keys are light tactiles, numbers & arrows clicky and layer modifiers are very light linears(for my pinky). I use a 3rd layer for macros, remapped my CAPS as a 3rd layer switch. the difference of sound and feel of different switches makes it easier for me to navigate my keyboard and thus faster productivity with less mistakes. My fastest typer is a logitech K580 =) except i cant work with its tiny arrow keys. I am a logitech fanboy with(g613, g605, g502, g733 etc), and MX mechanical would be worth a try if only it is remappable/full macro-able.

lighter red switch sucks more..less precise, error all the time..

Very good review. I sold my Keychron k6 because of the anoying RGB. Yes you can find a triple key combination online to lock it but everytime the keyboard is turned off you start all over. that alone is a no go (If not giving away one of the most importand keys for a rarely used function is). I also was massively annoyed by the bluetooth standby delay. i frequently was missing the first 3 Letters of a word... I now have an epomaker th66 which does this better. Although It takes even longer to wake up it only goes to standby after something like 15 or 30min. that doesnt annoy me because it rarely happens and when i am away longer i know it and press a key to wake it up.

Keychron has serious quality issues. I brought 4 Keychron . 2 of 4 are Mal-functional now. My K3 pros is still working.

What makes the Keychron slow? Maybe the switches?
