| Pros , different | 2.4 GHz at 1000 Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 and wired, all in one board Tank-like build with sound-dampening foam; PowerUp! found no rattle from the factory-lubed stabilizers Compact 121 x 327 mm footprint at 1,528 g Hot-swap sockets for 3-pin and 5-pin switches, QMK/VIA and a programmable knob Battery rated up to 180 hours by Keychron | Solid build that both Tech Critter and Techtesters praised, with no noticeable flex (Techtesters) Stable Cherry-style stabilizers and a padded spacebar (Tech Critter) Thick 1.5 mm double-shot PBT keycaps with fine legends (Tech Critter, Techtesters) Seven Cherry MX switch choices at purchase (Tech Critter) Keeps arrow keys and a compact footprint in a 66-key layout Detachable cable |
| Cons , different | Wirecutter criticises the tall case, steep fixed slope and tall keycaps No adjustable feet; PowerUp! recommends a wrist rest Slight but noticeable delay when switching between Bluetooth devices (PowerUp!) No function row on the 65% layout Heavy for a compact board | Mini-USB connection, which both Tech Critter and Techtesters would swap for USB-C Right Shift and left Windows key are non-standard, so standard custom keycap sets will not fit (Tech Critter) Switches are fixed at purchase, with no hot-swap Techtesters found the feet too easy to fold in and wanted an English manual Cherry MX Blue units are loud (Techtesters) |
| Research take , different | A strong wireless 65% for typing and casual gaming, praised by PowerUp! for build and rattle-free stabilizers. The fixed height and tall caps are why Wirecutter passed on it, so plan on a wrist rest. | A well-reviewed, no-frills compact board that gets its praise for build, stabilizers and keycaps. Choose it if you want a finished 66-key board; skip it if you want hot-swap, USB-C or custom keycaps. |
