   I’m learning touch typing at old age. I was looking for good keyboard with longer key travel, but did not expect this level of quality. Everything is pretty much perfect. Beautiful to look at, good key action (brown switch) with some light tactile feel, nice sound of the keys (creamy = muffled, deeper). The keys have no wobble, while shape of the key makes easier to detect the edge (to avoid other keys). Upper rows are sloped up and bottom has feet at the end. Keyboard is quite heavy and very stable. I appreciate ability to switch between Mac and Windows and extra key tops for it. USB-C cable is of high quality.
   It comes with tools to pull the key tops or keys. Even the box it came in is nice (I’m going to save it). In spite of my poor typing skills I’ve worked with many computer keyboards (starting with IBM), but this keyboard is the finest by far. Highly recommended.

   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.

7. Review of the Keychron V1 vs. Happy Hacking Hybrid Type S Verified Buyer – 11 April 2025

   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.

   The keyboard came defective and when I tried to return it, it took months of emails just to have Keychron say my gripe is with the sellers. After a lot of stress and emails, they wanted videos. By then, I had replaced the defective part myself. All I needed to fix Keychron’s busted product was a red switch. If you buy, I hope for your sake it works because I spent $200 on keyboard that ended up being a source of stress for months. Thanks Keychron!
