5.0 out of 5 stars GOLDILOCKS

C.W. · May 8, 2023

First off, let me say that I am a novelist, which means that I do a LOT of typing. Currently I'm working on an epic novel that is over 1.5 million words long. I mention this because my review of the Keychron V1 is based on its feel and functionality for TYPING, not gaming.Recently I found myself getting bored with typing on the keyboard I was using (a Qwerkywriter typewriter-style keyboard), so I started shopping around for a different one. Over the course of a month, I bought a dozen keyboards and ended up returning eight of them. Of the ones I kept (a Durgod Taurus 320 TKL with blue switches, a Royal Kludge limited edition with yellow switches, and a Steelseries membrane style keyboard), they were all terrific, but each had a tiny problem. Like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," one keyboard was too hard, another too soft, etc. But then I got the Keychron V1 (with red switches) and was BLOWN AWAY--by everything: the packaging, the palpable quality, and most of all by the smooth, crisp, quiet and effortless typing experience. The Keychron V1 is just right, or GOLDILOCKS as I put it.Every day, I write for 8 to 12 hours, producing between 2,000 and 5,000 words a day (the equivalent of 8 and 20 typed pages), which translates to a LOT of typing, so I need a keyboard that is going to be a joy to type on (and won't tire out my fingers). The Keychron V1 is that keyboard. I'll definitely keep and use (from time to time) the other keyboards I mentioned--we all need some variety--but in the V1 I see a true workhorse. From the moment I pulled it out of the packaging and experienced its heft, its gravitas, I knew it was going to be my go-to keyboard, and the one that will carry me through to the finish line on my epic novel.The keyboard has a couple features that I won't have any use for (e.g., the RGB backlighting), so I won't speak to those. I have no idea how this will perform for gaming, but I CAN attest to its perfection as a typing keyboard. If you are someone who does a lot of TYPING (a writer or a coder), do yourself a favor and GET THIS KEYBOARD. At about $100 it's a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mechanical keyboard and very good value

I tried several different mechanical keyboards and finally got one that I liked with the Keychron V1. It is a very premium keyboard at a budget price. I opted for the brown switches since I like a little bit of tactile feedback, but the switches are smooth, the board sounds good and very pleased with this purchase. I paired mine with a coiled USB cable and a wooden wrist rest.

It has some weight to it; making it feel very premium.The keycaps feel nice; the knob is useful too.I ended up swapping the brown switches to some Gateron milky yellows and it truly improved the sound and feel.I love that you can make this keyboard your own by customizing switches and other stuff. This is a great first custom keyboard if you are new to the hobby.Just look up some YouTube videos on how to swap switches and keycaps and other custom keyboard tips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product overall, one of the best budget mechanical keyboards

I used the apple magic keyboard for the past 2 years. I decided to get a mechanical keyboard and tried a couple keyboards from different brands with mac layout. Ultimately, I settled with this keychron keyboard.It feels and sounds great. I got the brown switches and the keys are easy to press and have a good tactile feedback. My fingers also really enjoy the shape of the keycaps and the separated arrow keys. I type faster and more accurate on this keyboard than the apple magic keyboard that I used for 2 years.It really looks and feels like a professional keyboard for serious work. I'm a software engineer and I've found it pleasant to code in this keyboard. When I'm the heat of coding, this keyboard keeps up with me.Highly recommended.

Keychron is a brand that I usually recommend it to friends when deciding for a mechanical keyboard that just has everything out of the box.My old keyboard broke and decided to buy one for my daily setup. I code and game a lot in a daily basis and it has been working out great for me.The quality of the keyboard is seamless to any other brands I have used. It is ahead of the game by a long shot which is why the price might be a little bit more expensive than other keyboards around Bolo, but it is a great investment especially if you make great use of your desktop for long hours.

This is exactly what I needed. The brown switches were great but I had plans to change them out for different switches and keys. The final product is great.The price is awesome for the quality of this keyboard and the key layout is very comfortable.This keyboard is also pretty hefty! Compared to my Razer Huntsman keyboard, this is almost 2 times heavier.

Absolutely perfect. Love the sounds of the keys. Definitely recommend checking out the Keychron site to hear how it sounds. But it’s a good quality keyboard and the quick shipping made it a steal

Sigue funcionando perfecto por mas de 1 año

Muy buen teclado, se siente de buena calidad, las teclas se sienten suaves y despues de 1 año sigue luciendo y funcionando sin ningun problema, venia de switchs y tamaño distinto pero no me tomo nada acostumbrarme.El knob es muy bueno, lo uso para volumen principalmente pero siendo alguien que hace muchas actividades con audio, es hermoso

كيبورد متكامل

Elegí este kit para iniciarme en este mundo de los teclados custom.Honestamente, tenía expectativas más bajas, creo que la relación calidad-precio del producto es maravillosa. No puedo esperar a que llegue todo lo demás que pedí para empezar a "meterle mano".Muy satisfecho con la compra, lo recomiendo ampliamente.
