KeychronK10 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Gateron G Pro Brown Switch Aluminum Frame

Have a Corsair with cherry red keys, which was my first mechanical keyboard. I loved it—BUT—these brown keys are so much more pleasurable. The sound, the feel, I’m super happy with it. Realize that the K10 cannot be fully customized through the Launcher software (get the K10 PRO) if you need that. Love that it’s wireless. It’s just super clean and neat. Beautiful gray and orange colorway is a plus.

I think this was exactly what I was looking for. It has the perfect keystroke for me, everything is very beefy. It does make that old type of keyboard noise from e keyboards of the past, but that is what I was looking for. I can really fly with this sort of feedback that I am receiving from this unit. It's heavy, so probably not the best to put on your lap for long periods of time. With most blue tooth items, it tends to shut down when not using. If I'm not paying attention, I will be 50 keystrokes in and then I realize that the keyboard missed the first five strokes. So, when you go back to the keyboard after not using, then you need to make sure it has woken up. The lights options are very subtle and it most certainly won't keep you awake if you sleep near it! I'm not sure how it might be for gaming as I don't do that.pros: great feel, minimal distractions from led lights, low sound, works for mac and windows (I'm using windows, battery has a long charge!cons: goes to sleep like other blue tooth devices, heavy for long term lap use, heavy

Very nice, versatile keyboard at a fair price. Only a small complaint is that the keys are difficult to read under low light conditions.

TL/DR:Nice price to quality/value ratio for an entry into the mechanical keyboard space.Hot swappable switches are nice feature for both flexibility and potential maintenance.No major issues - would recommend!Minor issue with packaging - room for improvement Keychron! (5 stars if it were not damaged)Full Review:I've been around computers for the past 25+ years of my life, I'm always excited when I get to try out some new hardware. I've been eyeing various mechanical keyboards over the past few years, yet purposefully have avoided getting into them due to the market prices for most of the products available. Having lurked around for quite a while, I took notice of the Keychron products, and their products at a "reasonable" price point really drew me into finally trying some out. I purchased both this K10 standard profile, as well as a low profile K5 SE - both with brown switches.Looking specifically at this K10, I was pleasantly surprised by the fit, form, and finish of the product straight out of the box. The packaging itself was laid out well, though the execution of the packaging could possibly be improved (more on that in a minute). Upon opening you'll find a layer of foam, followed by a getting started reference card to point out the various key combinations to perform the built in functions - such as connecting to 1 of 3 bluetooth connections, changing the lighting, etc.As I just mentioned, this keyboard can connect to up to 3 different bluetooth devices (obviously 1 at a time). Switching between the various connections is quick enough, though it's not instantaneous. This is to be expected with bluetooth however, considering both devices need to handshake to establish the connection. I will say that the speed of switching and reconnecting has seemed quite adequate.You can also use the keyboard in wired mode, which a USB A to USB C (right angle) cable is provided. The part of the cable having a right angle USB C connector is important to note, as the USB C connection on the K10 is on the left side rather than the back. From a design perspective, this is one place I'll knock this keyboard, as a rear connection (like the K5 SE!) is much more serviceable.The stock keycaps feel nice - almost as if they have a soft touch coating on them. I'm assuming they are just standard ABS keycaps, so not sure what is done in the process to achieve that finish/feel. That being said, I did purchase a set of PBT to swap out, primarily due to the fact that they match the color scheme of my home office. I would have zero issues with using the stock keycaps, but I would expect them to start to wear and "shine" over time. Luckily, should you wish to keep the stock keycaps, you can buy more from Keychron directly.Taking a moment to step back to the packaging. . .As I mentioned, I purchased both a K10 and K5 SE. Both keyboards came damaged on the top side of the keyboards. Since both of these keyboards were the aluminum variants, the aluminum is permanently damaged, sadly. The K10 specifically has nicks/chunks on the top rail, and the K5 SE has a dent. This is due specifically to how the keyboards are packaged in the box. While neither boxes had any sort of damage on the exterior, the USB cables were both shoved in tightly in the packaging in too confined of a space. This forced both keyboards to receive damage from the USB cable in some manner - either from initial packaging or from some force during transit. Keychron definitely need to consider adjusting the packaging, as 2 out of 2 damage in the same location is kind of telling. Receiving both keyboards damaged is the only reason I am dropping a star.Overall, very happy with the keyboard so far. Time will tell on how long they last, but here's to hoping for the best!

For me this is the perfect mechanical keyboard. I am particular about what I type on so I have tried out multiple in the past few years. I also test out the sample displays any time I go into a physical electronics store. By far this one feels the best. I got the aluminum frame, red switches. The keycaps are a very pleasant color scheme and have a bit of a soft, matte rubber type finish to them which makes the tops feel good. The font is clean and minimalist and the sound that the keys make is satisfying -- soft clicking with a satisfying thud when they hit the bottom of their travel.The wireless pairing works very well -- connects quickly and stays connected. I have had others prone to spontaneous disconnects. USB-C is a big plus. The built in lighting patterns look great although that is not something that I use very often. Multiple different colors schemes and movement patterns as well as an all white backlight option if you just want a normal backlight.I have not had the keyboard for long so I can't speak to the longevity, but it certainly feels like something that is going to last. I was hesitant to get another keyboard since mine was in fine condition, but I am very happy with this one and plan on keeping it. I don't think I need to look any further.

My wife has a red switch low profile Keychron K5 SE. Love the sound and look of it, so I wanted my own. Went with this version as I like standard key caps. Got the brown switch for a little more tactile feel. It’s perfect. Very quiet, with a buttery soft clunk on the keys. I use it in a super quiet office and no one says anything about it. No louder than a mouse clicks, but nicer sound.Looks so damn cool on my desk. The metal frame is a nice touch and the keyboard is hefty. Easily switched from wired to bluetooth and both work equally well. Lights are soft, but I can’t see them in my bright office so I keep them off. In a dark room, they would look so cool.Very nice features and fee to this keyboard. Keychron is a little more expensive but you get what you pay for. Makes me want to type everything out rather than copy/paste.
