K14, from Keychron's store

The K14 is a 70% budget board with ABS keycaps, a plastic case with metal reinforcement and a 240-hour battery rating. Inverse called it a great starting board with a basic typing feel.

70% layout Tri-mode Hot-swap QMK/VIA

Our take, based on research

A simple, solid starter 70%.

Overview

The K14 is Keychron's budget 70%. The page lists Bluetooth plus wired at 1000 Hz, Gateron G Pro mechanical or Keychron mechanical hot-swap switches, a tray-mount ABS or aluminum-frame case, OEM double-shot ABS keycaps, a four-level backlight, a 4000 mAh battery rated up to 240 hours and about 735 g. The plastic frame measures 333 x 104 mm and the aluminum bezels 337 x 108 mm. The spec table does not mention QMK.

Inverse called it a great starting board: a budget keyboard with a solid build, multi-device Bluetooth and customizable lighting, although the typing experience will leave experienced typists wanting. It described a plastic case with almost no flex and metal pieces on the sides, double-shot ABS keycaps and a reliable traditional mounting method.

It is the simplest 70% in the K series.
