Hey!
Currently typing this up at 2am, extremely bored.
Build: K6 / RGB / Red Switches.
Well as the title says, I got my keyboard just over a month ago and I am in love. (for the most part)
I say for the most part, because as I was about to type this the keyboard completely stopped working.. Switching it from BT to Cable did nothing, Restarting my PC also did nothing and was extremely disappointed, I managed to restart the board FN + J + Z (I think) and it seemed to have came back alive. (really weird, hopefully this doesn't happen again)
FAQ:
"Do I need a wrist rest / is the keyboard to tall"
After seeing all the posts about how people find it to tall, I was worried that I would need one - After getting the keyboard I really notice no difference and do not find it "to tall" at all. and I have average hand size. But its going to come down to personal preference!
Pros:
Bluetooth - is amazing, I wanted to get something with BT due to having less cables on my desk fits the "vibe" and I haven't been disappointed in the slightest, I do play FPS games, Overwatch, COD etc and have not seen any kind of latency. (Auto shut off is annoying, its set at 10mins, wish it was 30! Seems like it turns off to early, I know you can disable it but I wish it was a tad bit longer then 10mins)
Battery Life - I used the keyboard daily 6 to 8 hour a day for a about 2.5 weeks (only using the back-light during the night) , and checked the battery level and it showed it was in the 30%ish range, amazing how long it lasts.
Build quality - I came from a cheap 40$ keyboard and this is 1000x better, I did not go with the aluminium bezels due to it would make it even more thicker, and I am glad I didn't zero flex in the board.
Cons:
Backlighting - Not really a con for me but I saw some posts about it, the lighting is alright but they keycaps really hide the RGB lighting unless you're in a darker room! But I have no issue with it.
Really, there are no cons I absolutely love this thing, Definitely pick one up! (if you add it to your cart and add your email and wait a couple days they will email you a discount code!)
Let me know if you have any questions :)

Just came across this while searching for my perfect Mech Keyb.
I am salty from the Woo-dy debacle over on Kickstarter, but I think I will be fine to support an established company.
My wish list for a Mech Keyboard is:
-
65% (I need them arrow keys)
-
Wireless capable
-
Hot swap switches (some days I feel like the blues, and other days I wanna be browns)
-
Backlite (does not need to be RGB)
-
USB C
The Keychron hits all these notes so count me in. Waiting for the launch now. I thought I should share this because I am sure there are others with a similar wish list.
