K4, from Keychron's store
The original 96% K4: compact full-size with Bluetooth, Keychron Super switches, double-shot PBT keycaps and a 4000 mAh battery. Little review coverage; this is the least equipped K4.

Our take, based on research
The basic K4. The newer boards add more, but it covers the layout.
Overview
The K4 is the 96% member of the line. Keychron's page lists a 96% ANSI layout, Bluetooth (the spec line lists only Bluetooth for wireless) with a 1000 Hz polling rate, hot-swappable Keychron Super switches on the right version, a tray-mount case that is ABS or ABS with an aluminum frame, double-shot PBT keycaps, a 4000 mAh battery, 22 RGB effects and about 813 g.
No review of the K4 was found. Reviews of other 96% K-series boards are the best guide to the layout: Windows Central described the 96% K4 HE as a stylish board with a comfortable, intuitive layout and excellent acoustics, though that review covers a different switch and case.
This is the most affordable K4. The K4 Pro adds a steel plate and QMK/VIA, the Max adds 2.4 GHz and the HE moves to Hall-effect switches.
