However, it still sits quite close to neutral even all the way in the back. On the back of the keyboard frame are four rubber bump-ons. There is an option to use only white backlight but for people who enjoy colors, there is an RGB version as well that has 15+ color and effect options. The backside does not allow changing the angle because there are no flip-out feet. This keyboard has two-toned, curved, and low-profile keycaps. If you try to twist the frame, there is no creakiness or bending at all. To the floating ABS plastic keycaps, it feels fragile if ever dropped. The keyboard features a sturdy build with a mostly aluminum body, weighing 636g or 22.43 ounces. The Keychron K1v4 has a clean floating keycap style design with a low-profile case as well as low-profile switches and keycaps. In addition, a white backlight option has been added so you’re not stuck with RGB lighting if you don’t use it. Keychron also added an indicator for Caps Lock so you can easily tell if you have it activated. The Bluetooth is faster than ever coming in at the latest 5.1, so speed should not be an issue when typing – although we still wouldn’t recommend gaming wirelessly. In addition, the keyboard has a slight incline instead of being completely flat like version 3. The K1 also comes in a Gateron low-profile Brown switch, so instead of being limited to just Red or Blue switches, now there is an option for a semi-quiet tactile switch. The keycaps are also more resistant to oil and shine with a nice rubbery texture. The keycaps have a nice curved profile to reduce typing mistakes and improve comfort. The K1 is already on version 4 and features several upgrades including new keycaps that are two-toned instead of just black and flat. The Keychron K1 is a popular low-profile keyboard that has undergone multiple redesigns and upgrades to constantly make the keyboard better with each version.

We're in China! If they call, pretend you don't speak English.Many people transition to the mechanical keyboard world from thin chiclet keys on their laptops or membrane keyboards. how many people will be so mad they'll demand refund or exchange?" This feels like a design/manufacturing process flaw in final assembly (meaning this is probably a very common problem) along with a deliberate decision to ship product without re-work. I doubt it's a typical QC issue because the rest of the keyboard is absolutely perfect. Everything else about the keyboard seems great so far. What was the charge state when you received yours? How long did you have to charge it to get the green light?Įdit: Light changed to green after a couple hours. I have to put my eye right up to the keys or look up into the port/switch crevices. This is while I have the thing plugged in. If I turn out the room lights and wait a bit for my eyes to adjust, I can just make out a faint red glow. Wow, you can see yours with the room lights on? but based on the several complains on its website, I doubt if they will do an exchange for me that since I am Chinese, I know how terrible those Chinese company customer support are. i am writing a message to the customer support for an exchange. but the quality control really upsets customers like me. The K2v2 is good overall: tiny, wireless, RGB, MX Brown. your keyboard is at full battery so no worries. See below:īut if you switch to the macOS mode, you see a tiny green light inside the switch hole saying: HEY, I am here. and if you take a look closely, you see no light bulb in that hole at all. The battery indicator should be flashing as green / solid green / red when connected to the usb. You know the curious thing about the K2v2 I just received:
