Had all the specific requirements I wanted in a keyboard for my pc and it’s been a couple months since I bought it and it’s working perfectly

I like the keyboard, but the Bluetooth won’t stay connected (other devices work fine).

Everything about this was great, except for the bluetooth. The connection would drop and then my Mac would put it in a “rejected connection” status until I did a factory reset on the device. It would be difficult to get it to pair again and inevitably the connection would drop again. I have a few other Keychron’s with bluetooth and do not have this problem. Disappointing as the physical quality was high and the blue optical switches sounded nice — clicky but not too tinny.

This is by far one of the best keyboards I’ve ever owned. I immediately switched out the keys for silver optical gateron switches. Swapped them all out no issues at all. The only gripe I have is the mic key, or the Cortana/Siri key. I wanted to switch it to use as an actual mute/unmute for discord, but it’s damn near impossible to get it. If you disable Cortana it’ll just open Microsoft Edge, and if you rebind the key through what ever programs it’ll act as a “meta” or windows key. They have it binded to left win+c. Which is absolutely stupid.

This is my second Keychron and I went from a compact layout and the slightly more clicky brown mechanical switches to the red optical switches on a full-size layout. The feel is as smooth as silk and the connectivity features (I love having a wired connection or Bluetooth connection to three different devices at the flip of a switch) are the best I’ve found.

I’ll probably keep this one.
I got the slightly bigger size to replace a previous version that would not connect via bluetooth. This one doesn’t either. For a minute I thought it might be something wrong with my PC but then I noticed my PC can detect my neighbors stuff in their apartments…
The angle is different on this one. It is hurting my wrists a lot just to type this. I think I will return it. Along with the USB cable I forgot to return with the last one. Too bad. I love the typing experience but the different angle is causing me too much pain. And what is so hard about bluetooth anyway? Like millions and millions of other people use it without problem.

Please reconsider purchasing this keyboard if you mainly want Bluetooth. Mine failed so I had to get it replaced within 5 months. However the keyboard provides a great typing experience, pre lubbed switches sound clean and thoccy, the cable also has data transfer capabilities so that’s a plus, and the minimal rgb look is clean.
