Keychron K3 Version 2, 84 Keys Ultra-Slim Wireless Bluetooth/USB Wired Mechanical Keyboard with White LED Backlit, Low-Profile Keychron Mechanical Brown Switch Compatible with Mac Windows

I've used a lot of keyboards going all the way back to the original IBM PC. Most modern keyboards feel mushy to me. This feels great. I bought both the brown and the blue switch variations. The blue had a great feel, but its relatively high-pitched click was annoying. The brown is closer to a Goldilocks switch, quiet and with good tactility, although just a tiny bit mushy. I chose the K3 for its low-profile design, as I had read that the standard Keychron keyboards are very thick and need wrist rests. The K3 at only 7/8" thick feels fine without one. Key travel is also quite good. Fresh out of the box, I don't seem to have lost any typing speed compared with the MacBook Pro keyboard which I've been using for the last few years. I haven't had any problems with the Bluetooth connection. I have it paired with three devices – an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro. Just a few seconds each to pair initially, then no trouble with any of them. Switching between devices takes just a couple of keystrokes. As a Mac user, I really like that the media function keys work out of the box and are labeled properly. Likewise the command and option keys. I have no real need for the backlighting and certainly not for all the fancy, flashy chasing light modes. It's a keyboard, not a theater marquee. But I do find it handy to have on at minimum brightness when I have to work in a darkened room. If there's one thing I wish Keychron offered, it's a low-profile numeric keypad to go with this. I didn't want a full-size keyboard like the K5 which would force me to reach pretty far for my trackpad. But a numeric keypad comes in handy when I have to type in more than few digits, and it would be nice to have one to put to the right of the trackpad.

I've been looking for a slim TKL mechanical keyboard for a long time. I've read about the Keychron products, but hesitated to pull the trigger because other brands had more reviews with similar ratings. I shouldn't have and hope my review will help others who are relying on the number of reviews to make an informed decision. This little beauty is the best slim TKL mechanical keyboard I've tried by a long shot! The form factor is perfect, quality is great (especially given the very reasonable price) and it feels and works great! I might end up buying one or two more, one for the office and the other just so I have a replacement for when this one wears out. I have not tried using it in wireless mode or using it with a Mac. The default key configuration is for Mac, but there are spare key caps to replace Mac specific keys with Win (which I promptly did :) ). It is small enough to leave plenty of space on your desk, yet heavy enough to not move about when you type. The keyboard comes with brown mechanical switches, which are smooth and quiet enough to not annoy people sitting around you. All keys are mapped correctly to their designated functions. I'm actually using it with a Chrome book, was super impressed that all the keys do what they said they would, even the screenshot button. All in all, I've very happy with my purchase - great product Keychron!

I had really high hopes for this keyboard, I was looking for something low profile, light-weight, and looks good/ergonomic for my office. The only down side which might not apply to everybody is that I had trouble hitting the keys. For some reason I struggled with typing quick – it just felt weird to me. Aside from that it is a perfect keyboard

This keyboard has normal size keys, like a typewriter. It clicks, too. It can be placed directly in front of the typist, not off to the left like most computer keyboards. It has pads on the bottom so it doesn't slip around on my desktop. I can finally type fast again!

I love the slim design of this keyboard so much more than the previous K2, it weighs so much less and really skyrockets the mobility for myself. I’ve never liked the RBG functionality on these keyboards - it always seemed so out of place for it, so the white backlight only is perfect for me. I had switched from my previous K2 to a few other keyboards over the years but it was nice to come back to the K3 and feel right at home with the keyboard layout. I use both Mac and Windows machines so I love having the option to switch (I wish they made hybrid keycaps though!). The keys don’t feel lacking despite their new slim design, it still has excellent travel / tactile feel. Bluetooth is solid. I think its excellent quality and value for this model and Keychron really shows their care in presentation and design.
