Keychron K4 96 Layout 100 Keys Wireless Bluetooth 5 1 Wired USB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Keychron Super

I wanted a mechanical keyboard for work that didn't light up like a rave or cost a couple of hundred bucks. I got the brown switches as I am mostly using it for typing in excel/word and in my experience red gives too many errors and blues drive everyone else around me nuts from the clacking. The key presses feel good and give a solid click without going too overboard. My typing is significantly faster then on my previous membrane board and I don't feel like I'm smooshing keys into a piece of rubber anymore. The matte finish on the board looks great and the color scheme with the light and dark grey keys and orange accents make it feel almost like a custom keyset. It comes with a key remover and mac/windows specific keys which is also a nice touch. The backlighting is subtle and looks professional so it works well in an office setting. Because the keys are backlit you can utilize it in low light settings and still read the keys. I use Excel quite a bit so having the Numpad was really important to me. This utilizes a condensed keypad which gives you all the utility without sacrificing too much desk space. The arrow keys being shifted over takes some getting used to if you are flying on a sheet but overall its worth it for having a smaller overall keyboard. Bluetooth worked right out of the box. I have been running it wired lately so I don't ever have to worry about battery life. I've only had it a couple of weeks so I can't attest to its overall durability. Other similarly priced boards have lasted under a year for me so if it can beat that Ill be a happy camper. Great entry board if you are just getting your feet wet with mechanical boards for gaming or if you are just trying to get something for work that doesn't break the bank or look rediculous in your office. Any gamer in the office will be jealous when they hear you click-clacking away. ( I've had a few notice already) Read more

This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I say I love the sound all the switches make. It's very compact, I didn't expect the 10 key would be really compacted into the frame, but hey it's nothing you can't get used to. The zero button is a bit small for my taste since I crunch numbers all day. I like the customization features it has. you can switch it to be mac/windows compatible, no issues there. the feel of the keys are amazing! great first mechanical keyboard to get familiar with, highly recommend!

I'm obsessed!!!! I really love this keyboard. I use this keyboard at the office and when I'm working from home, and it's amazing. The sound, they texture, the quality in general is more than I expected. It is ergonomic, and their battery durability is amazing. Very easy to set up and use. Definitely I will buy another one for my brother and will be his christmas gift haha. Read more

I just happen to come across some keyboard forums on mechanical keyboard while searching for an ergo keyboard. ha, so not ergo....i fell in love with the design and mod-ability. i didn't want to break the bank. i'm not a gamer, rather an accountant with trendy taste. i like the look and the feel of the keys. i bought the brown, plastic, white led, K4. i need the num pad. The color way is inverted when the aluminum version, i wish the color way would have remained gray and brown instead of the opposite. But, still the colors are better in person than in the pictures. the board is higher than i'm use to but damn i need to remember to keep my palms off the table. I even have a hyperX wrist thing and it hurts to type a bit. i hope it's a learning curve since i've been using the Logitech K360. it's compact too and lower by tons, but i got lazy and laid my wrists. i'll try to review after more use. Aesthetically it's really nice and modding is so easy, i love to personalize things. One item i need help, if anyone knows, is how do you check the firmware on it? i need to set the print screen but i'm not sure what firmware it has and i'm afraid to update because the website says to beware. again, numbers guy not software... buy, it's a great purchase. Update: it's still a great purchase. I have done a small easy mod. as you may have seen on some youtube vids, you can use the foam from the boxing to fill in the base of the keyboard for a much quieter bottom out. I had tried the O-rings to dampen the clunk but it sometimes left me missing the actuation. I ventured to disassemble the keyboard by removing a few keycaps and unscrewing 15 screws, and with the foam i was able to cut it by sections to fit the inside slots of the base. i used crazy glue to adhere the foam, but some have used double sided tape. The modification is perfect!!! i have since removed the o-rings and is typing flawlessly. i would recommend doing this mod to those with brown or red switches. the bottoming out is less hollow, more satisfying. Update 2: Lube...lube...lube...i just added super lube to the switch and yeah....it makes a world of a difference. Ok at this your thinking why did i buy this keyboard if i'm doing all these mods to it. Stock is nice, don't get me wrong. This is still an amazing keyboard right out of the box. But youtubing some mods and noise dampening suggestions you want to try it. And, that's what i did and every step along the way it has improved the sound and feel of the board. Again, buy this board and their many variation of K1-K8 because they are great. If you want to do mods/upgrades they can be done. How did i lube? I didn't soldier these. I bought the Super Lube in the squeeze vial and put a drop on each corner of the switch and done. a little goes a long way for sure. press down on the switch and squirt squirt and you are done. give it a go!!!!
