Keychron C2 Full Size Wired Mechanical Keyboard Compatible with Mac, Keychron Brown Switch, 104 Keys ABS Retro Color Keycaps Gaming Keyboard for Windows, USB-C Type-C Braid Cable

I have been a power computer user since the mid-80's. I put a lot of wear and tear on my peripherals. My fingers polish the keys smooth over time from typing. Just any keyboard will not do. Recently my Razer Huntsman Elite keyboard starting to show signs of dying. My 'e' key intermittently repeating or not typing at all. It was time to get a new keyboard, but I wasn't willing to spend over $200. Even though my Huntsman has lasted me about 7 years, I still can't justify spending that kind of money. And so I set about looking for a fairly inexpensive quality keyboard. I had been hearing good things about Keychron, so I looked on Amazon and saw this retro style keyboard, which is exactly what I like in a keyboard. I remember back in the day, I had an old metal keyboard that looked similar to this. It had the old style AT connector. That keyboard died when I spilled soda pop on it. I've always wanted to get another one. The days of metal keyboards are long since gone, but thanks to Keychron we can still get that old styling. The first thing I noticed about the keyboard was the quality in the packaging, and the care taken to give extra keys and a key puller. The next thing I noticed is the quality of the keyboard itself. The keys do not click, but when you type the natural noise of the keys being pressed is soothing and provides the feedback you need when typing. The keys do not feel sluggish, unlike my cheap Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo I was using as a go-between. The weight of the keyboard is what you would expect for a quality keyboard. The material (plastic) feels durable and not cheap. The indicator lights are blue LED, which I find appealing. This is not an RGB keyboard. I don't want lit keys. I specifically sought out the non-RGB version. I am happy with my purchase. I can see myself loving this keyboard for many years. Big thanks to Keychron for making quality keyboards that computer users want. Thank you for this retro keyboard that suits me perfectly.

Keyboard is awesome. Clacky, feels good and looks good. For the price this full sized keyboard is amazing. Quality is good. Some weight to it, so it doesn't slide on the desk. But it is made of plastic. But the plastic doesn't feel cheap. keys and switches that can be swapped if you'd like. Keychron has made a quality keyboard at a fantastic price. The colorway is great as well as it feels like a retro keyboard from back in the day.

I just can't deal with the iMac wireless flat keyboard thingies they call a keyboard. This keyboard is just your basic "click" keyboard and it works flawlessly. I'm old as dirt and I just have to have a click keyboard. Now, if you are using this on a Mac (which I am) you gotta get used to which keys map to which keys on the Mac keyboard for the special functions, but its not that big of a deal. I HATE Windows (but ironically am a MCSE - another life), but I use this on my Windows box too, which I only run because I ArcGIS won't run on a Mac. Use one on my Linux box as well. It works flawlessly across all platforms. Can't ask for more. I have been using this keyboard for literally years with zero issues. It is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality. It is NOT a cheap feeling keyboard. I'm kinda hung up on full size too. Guess different folks have different ideas of what is a great keyboard. If you are looking for a quality, clicky, full size keyboard this one is great. Just be aware it is wired, and you gotta get used to where things map on a Mac.

Bought this to use for AutoCAD and loved it so much I ended up using this as my daily keyboard. Keychron makes some of the best quality keyboards on the market and this is no exception. All keys are clicky and have a great feel to then. The keyboard base is solid and does not move. The color also gives a modern yet 90s vibe. The only thing missing that you can get in slightly higher priced variants is of course back lighting but in my case is not needed. Can't go wrong with this keyboard

Nice keyboard! I wanted to really like this. I love the color and the layout. It's amazing that it includes "ALT" and "windows" keys for windows layouts, and "Option" and "Command" keys for Mac layouts. There's also a switch that enables you to switch between Mac and Windows layout (which have the alt/windows keys swapped with command/option.) The brown key switches are really nice too. I am a huge fan of the cherry MX red switches but they're extremely noisy for a corporate environment. The brown switches are not quite as precise, but it's a nice balance to keep your office mates happy. There's enough feedback to type well. There's no distinctive click, more of a muted keypress sound, which is decent. Unfortunately these seem to use some proprietary drivers which are blocked by my corporate computer policy. I had to return the wired USB version and order a bluetooth version to get it to work with my computer.,
