K10 Pro QMK/VIA Custom Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-Swappable Full Size 108 Keys Programmable RGB LED Backlit Brown Switch, Bluetooth/USB-C Wired Gaming Keyboard for Mac Windows Linux

I bought the Keychron K10 Pro after a very quick month-long progression thru nicer (what I now know are) membrane keyboards, to a big-brand mechanical keyboard, and finally to this entry-level hobby/enthusiast keyboard. This offers everything I needed. Full size (need 10-key, I’m an accountant), wired/wireless (although I REALY wish it had 2.4ghz), hot swap, per key RBG, south facing RBG and a host of other enticing features. This is my first brown switch and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I assume they are pretty standard for basic browns. I’m not sure who makes them but the switches have an embossed Keychron name on them so they are not Gateron (unless private label). Switches are bone dry, not pre lubed - but they feel ok for what they are I guess. Screw in stabilizers are lubed with I’m assuming dialectic grease or similar. The double shot key caps are fine although I’m not sure I love the OEM profile. I will probably swap them for something else. The RBG lighting is pretty great, it’s just a shame you can’t really see it with the stock key caps (not shine-thru). I do like it tho because I can have it on at my desk at work without looking like a 14 yo gamer bro. Things I’m less thrilled about. Thin plastic case (although the entire unit is very solid and hefty). The slide switches for the power, mode selection (feel cheap). Again, no 2.4ghz which would have made this thing legendary. Overall great experience with the board so far. Check out my media pics/vid! PS. I did the masking tape PCB mod and taped the (very hollow sounding/feeling) space bar. I was going to do kill/dyna mat but the silicone insert takes up pretty much the whole case. I was skeptical but the tape mod did improve the sound noticeably. Cheers!

After looking around for the best keyboard for me, I landed on this keyboard. The GOOD: - Full sized US layout - Swappable keys - Brown switches (mechanical) - QMK firmware programmable (creating custom key macros) - RGB LEDs - Noise/vibration dampening foam inside The other stuff: - It is very heavy (good as it stays rock solid on my desk) - Has large battery - Bluetooth wireless (although I just use wire) - Braided cable - Came with key puller, tiny screwdriver and mini Allen key The BAD: - The cable that came with this keyboard is very short, about 1 meter (I had to use an USB cable extender which I had lying around) - Keychron Launcher only supported 16 macros (whereas with QMK you could have as many macros as you need) - Should have been a guide with step by step onto HOW to compile your own QMK firmware (I needed to google and troubleshot my way through it, luckily for me I am well versed with C and setting up dev environment) All in all I am very happy with my purchase and I hope it will be lasting as long. The typing experience kind of reminds me of writing on a mechanical MX-Red switches, there is a slight tactile bump. The sounds are like clack-clack sound. I don't really care that the key aren't shining light through it as I usually don't look down while typing anyway. I love the aesthetic look of the keyboard.

This was my first VIA-compatible keyboard, and honestly I'll never buy another that isn't. The keyboard has a nice weight to it and the feet grip the desktop well. The keyboard supports four layers; nominally, layers 0 and 1 are Mac-compatible, and layers 2 and 3 are Windows-compatible. However, these are just the defaults; VIA allows the keyboard to be so completely reprogrammed that you could make all four layers into Windows or Mac layers by assigning an extra function key. Speaking of extra keys, the keyboard includes four extra keys above the numeric keypad; these aren't programmed by default. I use them for macros. This was one of the features that drove me to this specific keyboard. The PrintScreen, Scroll Lock, and Pause keys are instead replaced by a screenshot key, a key to launch a virtual assistant voice interface, and the key to adjust lighting. I needed my Scroll Lock key back because I actually use it for Excel, and screen capture is a normal feature of PrintScreen these days. Minor downsides include that the usual indicator lights for Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock are replaced with a charge indicator, a BlueTooth indicator, and the Caps Lock indicator. Num Lock and Caps Lock both light up beneath the key when they are toggled. So far Scroll Lock doesn't but there may be a setting in VIA to enable it that I have missed thus far. The included keycaps are high quality but do not pass light from the south-facing LEDs; this surprised me. The in-house brown switches are hot-swappable, and have a light but noticeable tactile bump to them. The keyboard does sit a little high, which is fine for my use but worth mentioning if you prefer a low keyboard. All in all, it's a solid product.

This is by far the best mechanical keyboard I have ever used. Apparently in the mechanical keyboard community, it is an "entry level" board. However, compared to the gaming mechanical keyboards that i have used, this feels better in every way. Things I think about when using it: - bluetooth is nice when I need it - very solid and heavy ( won't slide around) - keys feel great to type on - great sound. Not too loud but still very pleasant - highly mod-able! If you are looking to break into the mechanical keyboard scene, I definitely recommend this one.
