Keychron V3 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Knob Version, TKL QMK/VIA Programmable with Hot-swappable Keychron K Pro Brown Switch Compatible with Mac Windows Linux Carbon Black (Non-Transparent)

This is one of your best options when it comes to a keyboard that has that lubed feel out of the box. It is a sensational value, in my opinion.Switches are smooth and quite. Keycaps feel very high quality. Base is HEAVY but is made with plastic (plus in my book, I think the brushed/flat aluminum look of a lot of keyboard chassis' is tacky. Plus no pinging from chassis). Switches are a clear upgrade from the Gateron brown's, which I use daily for work on a Keychron C1. More tactile, more silent, and more smooth. Mine is stock, but this seems like a great platform for modding as well.This existence of this keyboard has signaled to me that the the mechanic keyboard market has reached another maturation milestone. My first mechanical keyboard experience was the original Blackwidow, so going from that, to the cheaper alternatives when the Cherry patent expired (Redragon), to this, is pretty awesome to think about. The innovation and passion that rose from the ashes of that patent has culminated into keyboards like this; they are just so smooth and consistent out of the box. Very nice to your wallet and no fuss required.

TL;DR If you're a programmer or do a lot of typing, buy the Keychron V3 wired. It's decent value for the features and it's built like a brick. You won't be sorry.NOTE: This is a TKL keyboard (no number pad, which I prefer)Once you go with a decent mechanical keyboard, you'll never go back. I spend 10-14 hours 6 days a week (not including any gaming I might do). I started with an IQUNIX that lasted about 18 months before a few keys stopped working properly, even after swapping out the switches (bad board, no spare parts from them out of warranty). I then went through a Steel Series APEX 7 keyboard just after the warranty expired. Spacebar switch seems faulty (intermittent). It's another "project keyboard", unfortunately.So far, this Keychron is VERY solid. My only gripe would be that I'd like shine through keycaps at this price point, but it's a minor criticism (I have an under monitor light that works well enough...I touch type). For potential purchasers...this thing feels SOLID....even compared to prior keyboards. For a keyboard that's wired (no battery) it's very dense, and should never be thrown at something in anger.Finally, if you're used to flat/slim keyboards and tend to have "saggy wrists" when you type that rest on the desktop, you will need a wrist rest. The one from my APEX 7 is a perfect height.

I like how it feels and how heavy it is. the light color patterns on the keyboard are cool. many different options and the knob is a nice touch. very sturdy !

The media could not be loaded. I am impressed with this affordable keyboard, there are similar keyboards that cost much more.I swapped the Mac keys for the PC keys (Alt, Windows), it comes with the tool to pull the key cap out. The circle volume knob is handy too!It did come with decent instruction how to adjust the backlight speed.The keyboard is but heavy but it does not matter as it just stay on the table. Overall it is a good product.

I recently just decided to go for a new keyboard after four years of using an old one. This keyboard was definitely the most worth-it buy with bright RGB, great sound and feel in typing. Would recommend to a friend.
