Compared to the K8, this is better
5/5

This is a more "premium" keyboard than the K8. However, I am enjoying it more than the K8. My K8 is broken, and I would have still wanted to return it if it were not broken. I ordered the C1 and the K8 (the most expensive one) at the same time! A difference of over one inch in height makes a huge difference on the C1. Perhaps it appears a little less significant when compared to On one hand, the C1 is free from a wrist rest, where the K8 needs It may seem as if this is a minor issue, but it has evolved into one of major importance I find that to be a deal breaker. Whenever I use the K8, it's the tallest keyboard I've ever seen. In addition to being arbitrary and excessive in height, it makes it impossible to operate without a wrist rest. * The It does not pose any problem to me since I use it at my home office. My favorite thing about it is Although the color combination of the C1 may not be suitable for everyone (most of my colleagues disagree with it It seems to be a hit with some). You could replace the keycaps to begin modding the keyboard, but it's a great thing to do first. During the time of the C1's launch, the value was outstanding. There is no other price point that you can beat at this point in time. These two have a number of things in common, such as The backlighting, hot swappable switches (if you chose this particular k8), the firmware, the layout are similar.

The game is great out of the box, and the modded version is exceptional
5/5

I have nbsp This will be a quick note (I'm a mechanical keyboard baby, so don't take it I was impressed with how solid it is right out of the box, it feels very sturdy, even though the outer body is just Disassembling the case was no problem, there were only 8 screws connecting the bottom plate to the case, with a flip-out flip-up tray on the side of the case You can also choose to get two heights of feet and some solid rubber feet if that is your thing. In the case of the gateron reds, I just stayed with those, and while they're quite scratchy, the experience isn't so bad because of the stabilizers, which come somewhat lubricated. The system wasn't as good as I had hoped, but I think it's a lot better than the logitech/redragon-made In the past, I have had similar drop skylight slate keyboards. Personally, I have lubricated the switches and stabilizers and replaced the old keycaps with new drop skylight slate keycaps, and I'm extremely pleased with the effects. For personal use I created some bad tests of sound, but it would probably be nice to include this. The stabilizers aren't the best, I spent a lot of time struggling with them since it was my first time lubing stabs, so after a while I just wanted a stabilizer I could rely on for a while. In addition, I apologize that the lubed sound test had a noise floor and a noticeable noise gating issue.

Compared to other ten-keyless keyboards, it is the best value
5/5

Considering that this keyboard only costs $60, this is a great deal. It has a backlight and a detachable USB port Switches that can be changed on the fly - C Only a year ago, you would have had to spend more than $100 on a keyboard to get all these features. For a couple of years now, Keychron has been creating affordable and modifiable keyboards that are durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, and now that effort has culminated in this new product. Although it comes in at a budget price, this keyboard is just as good as those from Logitech and Razer. I found it impossible to believe someone would double the price of this keyboard while offering less, unless RGB backlights are a huge deal breaker for you (I could care less about that).

USB flash drive with hotswappability and removable storage for budget prices The keycaps are made of ABS and double shot abs
5/5

I have nbsp (about 3 weeks after using it) I had a positive experience with the product and went ahead with the foam modification. You ought to put some Neoprene foam (nonconductive) between the board and the plate if you get this board (you're thickness of the neoprene foam (not conductive) should be 1/8 inch. A lot can be done to help by putting something between the plate and PCB. The gateron brown switches that came with it, however, took some adjustment coming from cherry mx blue switches. After a while, though, the muted sound turned into more of a relaxing charm when in comparison to the clicking In the future, I would have bought this keyboard with red switches since I have yet to try linears and gateron red switches are meant to be a lighter version of gateron yellow switches(something I did not know at that There is also a need for a wrist rest on this keyboard because it is almost an inch off of the ground even without If you are interested in a wrist rest, I recommend the BRILA wrist rest, but any of the brands would suffice. The video shown below is of this keyboard with O-type characters A Gateron Brown ring with a double ring PBT side-printed keycaps and Neoprene foam keymod that I mentioned in my previous post.

I think this is a great mechanical keyboard
5/5

It offers many extras that you don't find with mechanical keyboards at this price range - a USB connection, extra buttons, and even a 4-key roll over function. We have switches that can be swapped quickly, a physical switch for a dual-boot system, and a As part of the box, you will get Windows keycaps if you are a Windows user. With OSX keycaps, it is ready to use. The USB cable is included as well The USB port can be connected to a PC via the C port An adapter keycap pry tool and a switch pry tool. Wireless keyboards are not my cup of tea, but if you're looking for one, this one may not fit your needs. Considering that I'm not a gamer and that this is for work I am not sure if I should take it. Having different keys with different color caps is nice because it adds some style and variety to the colors. However, I don't really need backlighting for my keyboard, but it's still a nice touch to be able to cycle through a variety of It's important to keep in mind that the emitted light is uneven with the white and black keycaps if the backlight is on. However, this keyboard is lighter than the one I have at work, so that's not a problem. My mechanical keyboard has a lower lip than some other mechanical keyboards, but I did get a wrist support for it since it doesn't have a back. Gateron brown switches are broader, softer, and more mushy than an outemu brown switch. Another complaint I have is that I cannot find a way to turn off the background light when I undock the laptop and leave it plugged in. It isn't a major issue since I can just unplug the keyboard from the dock but it is something that.
