K3 Version 2, 84 Keys Ultra-Slim Wireless Bluetooth/USB Wired Mechanical Keyboard with White LED Backlit, Low-Profile Keychron Mechanical Red Switch Compatible with Mac Windows

I’ve been using the Keychron K3 Version 2 for a few weeks, and I’m really impressed. The sound quality is satisfying, key presses feel tactile and have a pleasant click without being too loud. Bluetooth connectivity is smooth and stable; I can easily switch between devices without any lag. The brightness adjustment for the backlight is intuitive and bright enough to type comfortably even in dark rooms. All the keys function perfectly, including the function row and multimedia shortcuts. The overall keyboard quality feels solid yet lightweight, and the slim design is perfect for my desk setup. It’s also highly compatible with Windows, macOS, and iOS, making it very versatile. Overall, it’s an excellent keyboard for both work and casual use, and I would highly recommend it.

As a "fussy keyboard user" I buy many keyboards at no expense spared. I'm not sure there's any keyboard I like much more than this at any price. I bought this for travel but really I may use it all the time. The price, basically if it was about two times the price it is, I'd still pay it. It appears to me much better made than, say, steel series keyboards at 3x the price. (And steel series keyboards flake out after a year.) As everyone has said (a) it feels rock, rock, rock solid, strong and heavy (b) it's super-low profile (c) the connectivity is perfect (I normally only go for wired, so I'm very critical of anything bluetooth) (d) every product feature is perfectly thought out. My only SUGGESTIONS for the product team. Just add a sticker, or white printing, on the rear of the keyboard, with the two commands one needs to know to start it up, etc. (I just grabbed a "white paint pen" and wrote the commands on the back.) Secondly, may I suggest selling some sort of "travel guard" which would be a very strong kind of clip- or slide- on guard which goes over the keys, for when you throw it in your carry-on luggage. (Imagine something that looks like an aerox mouse, with a drilled surface.) Essentially, this is a perfect product. I chose the "most quiet, fastest, zero click" blue switches and they're perfect. I am a programmer and writer so I type billions of words and command-arrow type clicks a day. I've added two "size comparison to typical objects and other overpriced keyboards", hope it helps someone

This is a great keyboard. Note that this is a compact keyboard -- it is just a little smaller than a standard sized keyboard, but it is made really well, with a metal base plate -- feels very sturdy. The keys feel great and the backlighting helps see the keys in the dark. It connects via USB or Bluetooth, and can switch between three different devices with a keystroke. Also comes with key caps for both Mac and Windows.

My first mechanical keyboard(s)! Got one for work, and I liked it so much, I bought one for home too. In between, I tried a fancier one from another brand that offers a million switch options, thinking I was buying quieter switches -- but they were actually louder. At twice the price, I liked that keyboard less than the simpler K3, so I sent it back and just bought another one of these. The K3's keys (with red switches) are fast for programming and command line work. The key height is good. The keyboard Bluetooth pairs to my Mac and PC just fine, and you can easily toggle the Mac/PC layout. That said, it does take a moment to "wake up" and reconnect in Bluetooth mode (as many switchable keyboards do), so I tend to keep it plugged in via USB unless I need it wireless. I like that it has a USB connection option -- not all multi-device BT keyboards do. The key backlights are helpful, especially for nightowls, though I prefer to just keep the backlights in static mode. Maybe all the chasing light modes are fun for gaming, but I find them distracting for work. And in bluetooth mode, it somehow seems to switch the lighting mode periodically, so I frequently find myself having to cycle it back to find the static one. One-star off for that minor nuisance, but otherwise, great typing experience. If you aren't a mechanical keyboard connoisseur who needs programmability and swappable switches, this is a nice basic setup that seems "just right." If you're not sure which type of switches to order it with, I'd recommend the red switches for an easy typing experience and switches that are relatively quiet -- as mechanical keyboards go.

This keyboard is phenomenal. I originally bought it because I was looking for a quieter, 75% mechanical keyboard with backlighting that would take up minimal space. Stumbling onto this keyboard was by dumb luck. The short, buttery action of the red keys are exactly to my liking, and somehow it's very quiet at the same time. I type rather fast sometimes when I'm documenting features, or when I'm having a breakthrough programming moment and want to get things down, out of my head, and this keeps up easily, I notice no latency even when using bluetooth(I'm really picky about that). I'm typing on this now- it's plugged into my pc for power(I've yet to let it run out of battery), but I switched it over to bluetooth flawlessly to my phone to type this out. (I use a company VPN while working, they don't need to have my credit card and purchase information). The light features are awesome, not too bright, but visible enough for me to see all the keys in the dark just fine. I especially like the fade out effects on keypresses, you can see that on the video I've shared. I can't say enough about this keyboard, it's just great, I rarely post videos, but I thought this was cool enough to show off the different effects. Ignore the mess of wires on my desk, they are just the hazards of needing multiple machines at one station. Now I might just have to get a single smaller usb switch for my mouse, as this keyboard makes switching from one machine to the next flawless. Great job Keychron, you've earned my future keyboard purchases.

Type feel: I personally like the Thinkpad keyboards and was looking for a desktop equivalent. Instead of going for the Thinkpad desktop version or the Logitech MX Mini, I went for the K3 brown optical switch version. The color indicates the type feel. Red=linear, blue=clicky, brown=tactile. The total travel distance of the keys are more than on the laptop but much less than a “traditional” mechanical keyboard. Felling wise, for the brown one, it is exactly what you would expect when you combine the laptop keyboard feeling between a good laptop keyboard and a mechanical mechanism. I ordered the red version first and was dissatisfied from the haptic feedback I got from the keys. Quality: The keyboard itself is simple and clean engineered. The quality seems on point and longlivity seems very likely. Due to the design and fact that the buttons can be removed the keyboard is easy to clean. I am sure even for the worst cookie monsters and chips eater will be happy. And if worst comes to worst it is possible to order a new set of keys directly from the manufacturer. Illumination: The light function is an extra gimmick but looks nice. A short youtube search should bring enough examples. Summary: Good keyboard. Can recommend. Reference Keyboard for me are Thinkpad laptops. K3 brown optical switch was the right choice for me. Tried the red one first and returned it.

This is by far the best keyboard i have ever used. I really do not like high travel keyboards and grew up on laptop keyboards so having a low profile keyboard with zero flex and having it easy to clean makes all the difference. This is my second Keychon K3 but this time I went with the reds since The one I already have is the browns. Both are amazing, and i really cant decide which I like more. I have had the brown for a year and a half and I have spilt water all over it, traveled with it weekly and just beat on it in general and it still feels just as amazing as the first day! You cannot go wrong with this keyboard. A huge plus is the fact its compact two so its easy to bring with you no matter where you go! ?It is so easy to customize the lighting which is also real nice! It has different compatibility modes too so it works for me who uses windows and my partner who loves mac! its pretty quite too which is a huge selling point since a lot of mechanical keyboards are super loud. if you are looking for a durable keyboard that seems to never stop feeling new this is it!

The keyboard itself is good. I've used many MKs before but always feel the travel distance is a bit too much no matter the switch. This is my first low profile keyboard, and the key travel distance is perfect for my liking. The build quality is premium. The aesthetics is on point... BUT the Bluetooth experience is horrendous. If you plan to plug in a USB all the time, then go for it. But if you plan to use Bluetooth, you will experience: - keyboard randomly go to sleep after a few seconds even if you set the sleep timer to 10 minutes (the minimum auto sleep timer you can set is 10 minutes, I don't even know how it can sleep in such a short time), so every time you don't type for 10 seconds or so you will wait for the keyboard to wake up, reconnect... - lag/unresponsiveness/repeating key press after waking up from sleep can last as long as >10 seconds It's not a problem on its own but combined with the above-mentioned issue... you can guess the experience I've googled this issue and have seen people discussing it since two years ago. Still no fix, current firmware update doesn't help. No new firmware release since 2021, nothing to address this issue - the Bluetooth adds some noticeable input lag. I'm gaming with it fine, so normally I wouldn't list it as an issue, but it just adds to the whole frustrating Bluetooth experience. TLDR: Bluetooth experience bad, no fix, no update

Excelente

It's a good Keyboard offering an ideal and effortless feel and value for money.

Very good keyboard. It’s pretty quiet too.

Useless product, never buy it, its so small that you cant even type properly. Don't fall for the trap of bigger size shown in images

Desde la década de los 2000 no tenia un teclado mecánico, es increible la comodidad de este teclado la conexión es muy buena solo que a veces se desconecta pero creo que es por la laptop en que la uso, la reacción al escribir es increíble, la iluminación también es muy buena y lo que si es que puedo cambiar la conexión entre varios dispositivos cuando uso más de uno. Lo único es que no he encontrado keycaps de repuesto.
