KeychronK4 Wireless Bluetooth/USB Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard, Compact 100 Keys 96% Layout RGB LED Backlit Gateron G Pro Blue Switch N-Key Rollover, Aluminum Frame for Mac Windows, Version 2

I’m a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, and have several, but was often recommended to grab a Keychron to add to my collection. I am currently using this model, the K4 Bluetooth with blue Gateron switches and RGB backlighting, to write this review on my phone.Of all the keyboards I own, this is my new favorite and the one I now use the most.I have owned a Dierya 60% Bluetooth (my least favorite, ? key in a weird placement), got a Royal Kludge full-size 104-key Bluetooth with white backlight (good, just bulky), and have a Royal Kludge 60% that has been my go-to for a simple portable writing keyboard.Once I got this Keychron, it pretty much replaced my RK 60% for both personal use and for work.As I typed this, the battery died, but that’s only because I use it constantly, and like to turn on the RGB backlighting for a little razzle dazzle when I’m sitting to write enjoyable. Only takes a few minutes to recharge, not long for a full recharge. It could last a week or more of constant use, without the backlighting, and several days with RGB backlighting. You can also charge it with the cable on a laptop while using it via Bluetooth on another device, which is nice.The aluminum frame is awesome, I’ve accidentally dropped it a couple of times, got the slightest scratch, and still works like a champ. It’s the keyboard equivalent of one of those old Nextel yellow brick phones, ha.Lightweight enough to throw into a backpack, quick Bluetooth connection, easy to set up and use, and definitely worth the money. I got it used, like new here on Amazon, was probably a return, and I’ve had zero problems with it. Even at full price, a worthwhile investment. The full number pad is what I wanted for my desktop trading and for inputting grades at my teaching gig. By far the best recommendation I got, and I definitely recommend it to other mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.Comes with a very professional-looking layout, but easy to customize if you dig fun color keycaps. If you spend a little extra to get the fully hot-swappable one, the switches are also easy to replace so the keyboard lasts for a long time. I’m super happy with my investment, and now use this keyboard on the daily for work and personal use.

I had another Keychron keyboard that shorted out thanks to an unfortunate water cup incident.. I couldn't find that exact keyboard anymore so I got this one and it works great! The RGB options are nice, it's a perfect size for anyone who wants all the keys but a slightly more compact board, it's got a nice weight to it and is sturdy on my desk. Very easy setup literally plug and play. You can connect it via bluetooth or usb-c and both work very well. The battery life seems to be at least a day or two but I mostly use it with the usb so I'm not sure how long it really lasts but the connection is very stable, I don't notice any latency. Very good and high quality board especially for under $100!

This keyboard is a great mechanical with a nice solid quality feel. In general from the standpoint of typing there’s nothing to complain about. The RGB backlighting is effective with many pleasing patterns and color choices.Battery life seems more than adequate and the device will charge while being used in wired mode.The only complaints I have relate to the speed with which it switches between devices. For the typical user this probably wouldn’t be an issue but for someone that’s switching multiple times within very short intervals the lag is enough to become frustrating.The switches on the side for selecting wired or bluetooth and Windows or Mac are small though not frequently used.There is no software which is both a positive, (you don’t need any) and a negative because there’s no key customization.Your only indicator of battery life will be a small led next to the small selection switches not a deal breaker but not ideal either.All in all I recommend this keyboard, it offers the benefits of a mechanical with good tactile feedback, support for 3 devices, nice RGB backlighting at a very fair price point.
