"I came from a MX Mechanical since it doesn't work with KVM.Its quieter, extremely configurable and you don't need any extra software.I just wish it came with a shine through keycaps, but you can just buy them and still be cheaper."

For context, I work from home and pivot between a windows and mac. The initial connectivity was incredibly seamless. The feel, the look, the size, the strokes are all phenomenal. I had to do no remapping even when using hot keys for a lot of my day to day stuff on both operating systems, worked with just a flip of a switch. I love the size as its smaller than a full traditional keyboard but has a full size feel. No bezel just makes it look so clean.Additionally, I tried to find other brand keyboards and they were not even remotely as seamless and luxurious as this keyboard. I cannot recommend enough!!I haven't even gotten into their native software for the hardware but I am sure that will impress me even more.rey rodriguez

OK - if this is your first time buying a low profile keyboard, you want RGB, FULLY customizable and feels premium and professional. STOP HERE. My work involves ALOT of typing and I was using a Logitech mid-end gaming keyboard and my hands would hurt. I’m here to report the low profile with the red switches for office use, is the way to go. The videos I saw on YouTube show the keyboard bending but I tried it and it takes ALOT of force. I think it’s due to the top aluminum plate. But anyhow, I wanted a quick mechanical keyboard with that elevated the typing experience 45 hrs a week and this is it.FYI as shown on the photos my box came with a slight hit at the top but the keyboard came with a nice 1” foam all around the edges.Fast connectivity 100%Nice click 100% (even if you go wit another switch)Keyboard responsiveness 100%Compatible with iOS and WINDOWS.ak

The first item received came without the replacement key caps and was clearly a previously returned item. I returned it. The replacement came sealed and looked original. However, the replacement key caps for Alt were the same size (they are to be one small and one big) and the one on the right of space bar did not fit. I had to house a different key kap for it. The rest for now works well and the keyboard is peasant to use.nick

Keychron is a credible company. Watch some youtube videos and look at the extensive catalog on their website. Excellent keyboard overall. I am used to laptop keyboards and low profile standalone keyboards, so I didn't want a full-travel mechanical keyboard. This one provides the ideal key travel, allowing for fast typing and Fortnite gaming. Glad I went with the Max rather than Pro given the added sound deadening. The keys aren't particularly noisy--they're the right volume. Got the brown switches, which feel great for both primary activities I use the keyboard for. The volume knob is also very nice, and I've programmed the key just to its left to mute and unmute video calls. The 96% layout is also just right. I don't feel like I'm losing any functionality from a 100% keyboard, but it fits nicer next to my mouse pad and looks more modern.dlovestravel

This is my most favorite keyboard! I have Apple products… and have stuck with the Apple magic keyboard, which I love. But I wanted to try mechanical keyboards because I kept hearing about how much people like them… especially those who type a lot (which I do for work, and personal as well). So I tried the Lofree Flow Lite and Logitech MX mechanical. I love low profile and that’s what I was looking for. I like them both, but they were just not what I was looking for (feel wise). However, now only does the Keychron K17 feel the BEST with typing experience, but I love the layout of the keyboard. It has a full numeric pad with a normal “0” key, not a shortened key. Plus it’s a full keyboard but just smaller (thus 96%). The size is perfect and it’s small enough to still have space for my mouse on the side. I love it and really enjoy it. This is now my go to keyboard and I get excited just to even use it.q luong
This is a fantastic keyboard. The keys has a nice clicky, sharp response.
