  • Years ago I was looking for a keyboard with this layout for months and all I could find was a very expensive kit you had to special order and build yourself. I am glad that more people can get these now, hopefully they appreciate the additional mouse space they get without losing the numpad. I noticed that I didn't actually need one, and with the limited options back then, ended up with a Drevo Gramr. Very good value, but I do kind of wish this was for sale back then.

Adjustable settings and lighting built into the keyboard, Bluetooth and wired capabilities, and compatibility with Windows and MacOS. The keyboard is very comfortable and the switches are what you would expect. Keycaps are concave and smooth to the touch. Best of all the price is extremely competitive ranging from $60-100 depending on your model and configuration.

Because for a lot of international or multilingual users products like this that check almost all of the boxes are still not an option because they don't sell their layout. You have enough of a market influence to start pushing for some change in the industry and give international dealers other options over the usual available suspects like razer, corsair,... And by layout I mean more than just QWERTY vs ASERTY, etc. There are multiple versions of QWERTY featuring language specific characters and symbols.

  • Love the 1800 layout. Actually had a K4. Keyword here is "had". It's okay, and if you're big on the wireless aspects, it's solid. Same for the Mac support. I had the aluminium case, full RGB, version, with Gateron browns. There are much better options. The main problem is the complete lack of QMK support, or really, programability. Outside of that shortfall, the stock keycaps are bad. The whole thing has a cheaper feel to it. Biggest plus here, is the price. You get a lot for the price. It is Mac centric. Keycaps out of the box are Mac; though you get Windows keys in the box. If you're a Linux person, you're going to have problems; it has issues with bluetooth in Linux, and even with just a USB connection. The Melody 96 is a much better keyboard, with full QMK support, can be had in a hotswap configuration, or a solder configuration. It will cost you more, but you get the same form factor, you build it with your switches and keycaps, and the aluminium case is solid, heavy, and available in several colours. Overall it is a much better keyboard. If you don't mind spending a little more, the Drop Shift, from Massdrop, is the same layout, a little larger, and a superior keyboard in every way. The only downside here is that neither of these is bluetooth. Personally don't need bluetooth, so that is not an issue for me. On a budget, the K4 is a good choice as a gateway to mech boards in the 1800 layout. I sold my K4 after light usage, to a young fella looking to get his first mech board. He was thrilled to get a full mechanical board with full RGB backlighting, and hotswap sockets.

  • I really appreciate how Keychron has been continuously improving their keyboards, though the one of theirs that I prefer is the K1, which is a low-profile tenkeyless design that is intentionally designed with Mac systems in mind. I had K1 (2nd-generation, I think) for a while, though the key switches on that were way too sensitive. Last year, I replaced that with a 4th-gen K1, which I've been quite happy with. I use it with a MacBook rather than relying on the laptop's built-in keyboard.

  • These are my thoughts for this keyboard. Read it if you're considering to buy it or not. I'll keep it short and i'll reply to questions I am able to answer: - You'll more than likely need a wrist rest for this keyboard. The body is really high without being in an elevated position and even higher when it has been elevated. So if you don't have one, cosider one. - The keycaps feel a little cheap, but are definitely serviceable. As said in the video, the font is thin but they do work fairly well - There are no extra keycaps you can buy for this keyboard from Keychron that will fit all the keys for this keyboard - I have been using the keyboard wired almost exclusively and the latency isn't noticeable. It works pretty well - Keys feel great and they are a little smoother than the MX Browns - The keys work great on MacOS and, while I haven't used it on Windows, I don't think you'd have a problem. - The orange is VERY noticeable. It's like a signature thing of the keyboard but for whatever reason, it REALLY stands out. Perhaps it's because it is the ONLY other color to distinguish it. - There are 3 levels of elevation: flat, semi-raised, and fully-raised I have used the first version of this and I can compare them: - The key colors are different, the 2nd version is better than the 1st version - The key caps on the 2nd version are a little sharper than the 1st version and honestly a little "cheaper" feeling - The 1st version had 3 indicator lights on the top right, right above the numpad to indicate the connection status, the charging status, and something else (I never paid attention to that one, it never lit up, I think it was bluetooth). That charging light would be bright green and while a little distracting, it gave a good indication on whether or not it was connected. - The first version did feel a little bit heavier than the second version, but that may be false because I didn't have both keyboards at the same time.

  • The RGB vs White powers are that a single color LED at, say 9W, would generally always be 9W. A single color on an RGB LED would (generally) be 1/3 of the total listed wattage of the LED and it gets even more varied with different percentages used during color mixing. They're probably just doing an average to find the estimated use case.

  • After using the keyboard for a couple of weeks now, I have to say it works really well. To have numpad included is very valuable for me and there aren't many layouts. However, the arrow keys (while it's also a must to have them) do not fit as nicely as I thought. For one you have to relearn to touch the right side of numpad 0, because the right arrow key eats into its space. In addition, the up arrow key eats into the space of the right shift, so you have to relearn to hit the right side of it, instead of the left. Overall, I'd wish there was a haptic difference in the arrow key caps, like a different texture or some other signs, because hitting them correctly takes a bit of time and training. The keyboard has locked up two times in Bluetooth mode and which was resolved by turning on/off. Overall, I feel the layout is a compromise, but given that it saves so much space I think it's a good compromise.

  • For anyone curious: If you want to vastly improve the quality of a Keychron board, buy some nicer switches and some 1/8 inch neoprene foam sheet. Line the foam sheet under the PCB (circuitboard) and around the battery as to not compress the battery. This way, you'll get a much less hollow-sounding board, and hopefully the nicer switches rattle less (or just lube your gaterons). The process should cost $60-70 and an hour or less. If you decide to lube your gaterons, it'll cost you around $20 and a few hours of your time.
