I only returned the keyboard because I order the wrong version. Keychron’s downside is that there are to many variations. If you do not like climbing up on a wrist rest to type, then you should consider the K17 or K5. Minimalistic looking and limited key caps for sure, but aftermarket key caps can fix the looks.

i love this keyboard and I type on it for work every day. I’ve always wanted a Keychron keyboard, but I could never get one at a good time. Also, the version that I always wanted is no longer sold. So I went with this one. I’m still getting used to the somewhat fullsize of the keyboard and the keys are pretty close together so it feels weird. I’ve been typing on a low profile keyboard with smaller keys and more space between them so I tend to hit the wrong key more often. Again I’m getting used to the new keyboard and I hope to buy another one that will replace the low profile keyboard that I use at home.
Product wise, it’s sturdy and has some heft so it doesn’t move around much at all. So the weight is perfect. I chose keys that tend to be more quiet so clickiness wasn’t something I cared for. Sound quality is good for the rotary volume knob and I like that I can just press it to mute and unmute sound. Bluetooth connectivity as well as the dongle and wired options are nice and the battery life of the keyboard is really good. I use it for around 12 hours a day and I work 5-6 days a week so I charge it once a week.
