Keychron 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!

I use for development, gaming, work and documents. This keyboard is absolutely perfect as it can be used as a wired device, and up to 3 blue tooth devices. I'm wired into my primary Linux machine, I use the blue tooth to connect to my windows laptop, my iMac and my Android phone. (4 devices 1 keyboard) Switching between blue tooth devices has been a perfectly acceptable experience for me the speed to change is reasonable. There is a physical switch to turn off blue tooth and switch to wired. I've had no issues with battery life. It is also possible to charge the keyboard while using at the same time. The RGB is really well done and controlled from the keyboard. That is not a deal breaker for me as I am not trying to use software to Steve my keyboard to other RGB lights in my computer. There are several animations available and each one has several color combinations as well as the ability to adjust brightness. They keys stay lit up for 10 minutes before turning off. That is perfect, as other keyboards turn off the backlighting after 30 seconds (good luck with that if you like to have a dim room). The mechanical keys are amazing. Perfect amount of travel and the right click and pressure. I have the low profile keys wich is a preference for me. The travel is slightly less which is something I like. There are plenty of options to have different tactile, pressure, travel and click. If the low profile keys are something you are considering, it is just slightly less travel (I believe 3mm compared to 4mm). I have the red keys, and I love them. The right amount of sound for me as I also use my keyboard for work and on conference calls. The downsides (which are not downsides for me) might be that it does not have adjustable get to change the angle of the keyboard as it sits on your desk. You do not control the rgb from an app. If you get low profile keys the key caps are slightly shorter so there is some light spill from the RGB lights. Lastly there are no dedicated media controls. Yes, it does have the function keys to adjust system volume. With respect to the downsides I listed above, none of those are a negative for me. I listed then because there may be some users that one of them could be a deal breaker. However after you factor in the cost, you can get a better keyboard. The upsides to this keyboard are everything. Mechanical keyboard in about any layout you could want. Choice of mechanical keys, RGB, the aluminum case is awesome. I also have friends who have keycron keyboard in different models and using blue switches. They all love their keyboard too.

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.

the typing feeling is even worse than a robber dome keyboard...it defeats the whole purpose of being mechanical.

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.
