Silky smooth mechanical keyboard -- great for writers and coders
I'm a bit of a keyboard fanatic. I'm not a gamer, but I write technical content and develop software, so I spend a lot of time at the keyboard. I learned to program on mainframe computers in the 70s and 80s, and for years I have sought keyboards whose "feel" and sound remind me of the high quality mechanical keyboards that used to come with mainframe terminals. This is the closest keyboard I have found to that experience.It makes a bit more noise than the average keyboard, but it's a very pleasant sound -- not as clicky or as loud as an IBM Model M. This would probably not cause much distraction in a crowded office space.The "feel" is amazing. There's a fair amount of resistance and travel -- so that you feel like your hands are actually getting work done when you type. The resistance is pretty even all the way down. There's not a sudden "break" in resistance at the end of the keystroke, like there is in the Model M when the spring buckles.I've had no problems with "bounce" or sticky keys. The browser-based keyboard utility (launcher.keychron.com) is easy to use, and enables you to configure the backlighting, program keyboard macros, remap keys, update the keyboard firmware, etc.The volume knob (twist to adjust, push to toggle mute/unmute) is a nice touch, and that knob can be reprogrammed to do other things, if you want.I can't speak to the gamers out there, but this would be a great keyboard for anyone who writes or codes for a living, if you're looking for something solid, heavily constructed, silky smooth, and with that retro feeling from the days when keyboards were built to last a lifetime by companies like IBM, Honeywell, and Alps.Ver másVer menos
