I used to like the more compact keyboards, but I got sick of keycap struggles. There always seemed to be a keycap that wasn't the right profile or size. I now only go for standard TKL layouts. It's so much less stress and cheaper when I don't have to buy extra optional keycaps to complete a set.
for me TKL is the best model, since you lose a lot of useless keys and keep only the most fundamental ones without sacrificing a lot. F keys are very needed as well as the DELETE well placed above the directional ones, just perfect.
For me too, but right now I'm using the K3E3 (75%) and I absolutely fell in love with the switches last night when I installed it. Do you know if there are TKL low profiles with the optical switches?
The trouble with Keychron keyboards is there are 20 versions of every model they make, each with minor differences. I was interested in the K8 and went to their Amazon store where I found 21 different variants! It's exhausting trying to figure out haw they all vary.
@@NoizeTank Right. I mean, it's not indecipherable. I eventually sorted everything out (I ended up getting the K2 V2 with aluminum frame), but it felt an awful lot like work. It would have saved me a lot of time if they presented their products in a more organized fashion.
I'd like the K8 too but I hate how that floating keycaps bit looks but it seems more complete, I'm just torn between the K8 and K2 update: I got the K8 lol
@@mattY0UNG idk too much about mechanical keyboards to give an in depth review but I'd say it's doing well, got the reds and the typing experience is great, I also managed to adjust to the height after a bit but yeah overall I'm quite happy with it especially since I can still use those different functions above the arrow keys
The Nav keys are not something I can sacrifice with pressing additional function keys as I do plenty of Excel. That should be something to consider, so you should not limit yourself to the K2 and K6 like she suggested. If you use these keys and used to the traditional layout, I suggest going to the K8. K2 and K6 requires a learning curve to get used to, and will only get difficult if you have to combine it with Excel keyboard shortcuts that also require the use of the nav keys. Not sure though if you could reprogram the Home key to Delete for use on another PC, but that's something to consider on a work computer as you are not usually granted admin access and installing additional software is prohibited by company policy Got the K8 as I'm a traditionalist coming from a 100% keyboard layout. I'm a bit disappointed that there's no scroll lock or pause break as this has been replaced with the light and voice command key, but at least I still got printscreen. I originally was going to a C2 100% layout, but once the pandemic ends and we all go back to work, it would be difficult to fit the keyboard on a laptop bag, like the G512 Carbon that came before.
Hi Jake and Betty, at "Switch and Click". I want to thank you for your many videos about the mechanical engineering and fundamentals of specialized keyboards. I'm a systems engineer and I purchased my first mechanical keyboard, which was a Logitech G413 last year. Love it and it has helped my own work flow, as well as helped me to take seriously how good mechanical keyboards can, I feel, also significantly assist the workflow and creativity of all people at home and at work. I'm not convinced that TKL's are best yet as I have a lot of business clients who'd require a full sized keyboard. But TKL's are good for 'family use' computers perhaps? Thanks again to you both at Switch and Click for your interesting and thorough reviews as well as essential testing. I think high quality keyboards for work may be a growth area, just as good monitors was a growth area, years ago, in order to address eye issues. We see how better IPS panels have benefited everyone's eyes in recent years. Perhaps soon, it will be recognized that having ergonomic, safe, personalized, fun, and 'physiologically reliable' mechanical keyboards for everyone can help our hands and fingers stay healthy, during both serious work times and recreation times.
@Lucas D0414 Yeah I agree; I have a full-sized Durgod Taurus for work and a more compact TKL for home. The only issue with the macro pads you speak of is an extra connection via usb. I'd rather have one connection for the keyboard. But then again, if someone really needs the number pad, just go for a full sized keeb.
I thought based on your K6 review before that the RGB and keycaps will be the biggest concern but now I feel relieved and better that I chose to really wait for K6 rather than buying K8 now. You're so awesome and was a huge help for my research on what Keychron MKB to buy, more poweeeer!
Used the k2v2 for months, still waiting for them to release the software so I can finally remap and swap the del and light key, can't count the number of times that I had accidentally pressed the light key when trying to delete text while typing.. Aside from that layout flaw, loving the kb.
Watching this video really makes me appreciate the way you edit and how your sense of humor really shines in the newer videos. It's not the same without the quiet screaming! Lol
I think that's a warning for Any about not confusing the switches on her custom board. Everyone misses those opportunities, but she's a dumbass and may actually have an opportunity at mixing them up
this is a great review! i honestly really loved it. i just got my keychron k2 in december 2020, it’s been a few months now and overall i think this is my best keyboard so far! thanks for making this video! really helped :D
Damn I was thinking of getting the K6 but I only realized there's missing quite a lot of essential buttons for programming. Time to re-evaluate my choices.
Just ordered a K6 Aluminium with Gateron Brown. Don't really care for RGB since I'll use it at work. Looks super clean, professional but unique enough for an office environment. Good video!
For autocad work where the mouse is obligatory, im looking into getting the full size Keychron. With a 60% cannot do one touch activation of function keys with one hand on the mouse.
Keep in mind that the Keychron warehouse is in Hong Kong. It ships from there, and if you don't like the product, you're responsible for returning it to there. Which means, effectively, there are no returns. Keychron doesn't offer a return label, so you can pony out more money than you spent on the actual keyboard, trying to return it.
Thank you so much for the comparison. I was going through analysis paralysis trying to decide on the right one for me but it seems that the K2 is going to be the winner. I considered the K4 but it may be time for me to give up on the numpad and save some desk space as well as giving my shoulder some better ergonomics when it comes to mouse usage. Excellent and detailed review! ❤️
Great comparison video. I have a K8 RGB with black Ducky pudding keycaps and really love it. I also have a K6 with white backlight and mixed keycaps--side-printed dark gray PBT for the most used keys and I left the top row and right hand keys standard. I may have to take a look at the K2 V2 someday but I have enough KBs for now. Editing tip: You may want to cut up the B roll or shoot one item at a time so it lines up better with your vocal description. That is always a challenge when editing.
KEYCHRON K2 :Just dropping by to contribute my review after seeing so many reviews on youtube and i finally got one. I am a newbie in mech keyboards. So this is my first one after going through so many videos and finally deciding on this one. PERFECT. I really like this keyboard, typing on it right now. It charges well, connects well and just wonderful to type on. I use it for programming and normal tasks,no gaming. So for people like me, it is perfect! Previously I was all out Logitech and I though they were the best, I know now. This is better! But it is heavy. I got the aluminium base. So i dont think it is suitable to take outside.
Hi, could you please explain what do you mean aluminum base? K2 has plastic bases only with aluminum border only. Which can be taken off with 2 screws?
I think both the 65% and 75% (TKL) are good. Don't like giving up the cursor arrow keys on the 60%, but I can live with sharing the Fx keys with the number keys. However I would probably opt for the PRO versions, as they come with the PBT keys instead of the ABS ones (not to mention QMK firmware).
On my second K4. The previous one met a heinous demise at the hands of a poorly-executed Jack & Coke manouvre. I took the opportunity to switch from red to brown switches, which gives depression abit of feedback. I am currently eyeing the C2 with the retro colour scheme. Being a kid from the 80's who grew up with weapons-grade 3-4 pound keyboards, it does pull at my heart strings. Just wish there was a wireless version.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial It's essentially the K2 but slim, and seeing how they have done a great job with the K1 v4, I imagine it's going to be the same quality. I'll be looking forward to your video on it as well.
Just ordered a UK iso k8, always thought the floating keys looked kind of cool! Might have to experiment with the aluminium bezel off though. Hoping I like gateron browns but went for hot swap so I can change it out if I don't like them.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial oh and btw I want to thank you: this summer I wanted a good mechanical keyboard and I did a lot of research. One day I asked you in a comment if I should get the apex 7 brown or red, and you preferred red. I choose red, and I LOVE IT. THANK YOU 🙏
the keychron is a really great product. the K2 is the first keyboard I bought, and that was the best option since I was coming from using an Apple Magic Keyboard... so it was perfect for me, I didn't had to learn any remapping for keys. Now I'm starting to explore other 60% keebs options and found that I really like the Anne Pro 2, because of its software. I'd say that if Keychron would make their keyboards with software that can let the user to fully customize not only the lights, but also the key maps and building macros, that would be the perfect keyboard.
Yay, another S&C Video ! More and more professional. Thanx for making our keyboard choice easier, but no white version is a nogo for me :) There's a K3 coming ! Love from France.
Just got the K2 hot swappable and together with my K6 hot swappable it's awesome, i can set one up with different keycaps switch combination and can alternate between the two
just got the K6 with gateron reds in the mail today. Was (and still am) using a magicforce68 before that, and can say I'm really pleased on the build quality. Will probably go for o-rings and some foam (for now) and see how it holds up. I have a few typing errors coming from an apple magic keyboard but I guess that's just normal and I'll get used to the higher profile over time.
I recently purchased a Keychron K7. The K7 is advertised as "wireless". It is actually Bluetooth (same frequency band, different protocols). Connected to my system with supplied (too short) USB cable. Multiple keys do not work. Keychron sent me a link to a website designed to test keyboards. I sent a screen shot of the results to Keychron. Keychron demands a video showing the keyboard and screen proving that I did not falsify the test results. The product is sold "as is" - there is no warranty. Tried to get an RMA number and a return shipping label. If the keys do NOT work, the feel DOES NOT MATTER, and the reliability DOES NOT MATTER! If this is the way they treat their customers, do not expect them to be there in a few years.
I want to replace my trash razer keyboard. I was about to buy gmmk but i heard these are good too. Drop ctrl is too expensive so i guess I’ll go with this
the K6 was my very first 65% wireless keeb, indeed bought after I had seen the review here. Using it for 3 months at my job now and still happily clacking away... battery lasts about 4 weeks when turning rgb off which surprised me. The weird layout (del, end, home key) was strange at first, now I am used to it and it is not such a big deal anymore. Been too lazy to reprogram so far :D customization is great, I switched keycaps, switched switches, modded stabs and dampened the hell out of it and now it sounds and looks really good. regarding bezels and angle: I think it is good, bezels defintely add style and sturdiness (and weight) and would recommend for K6, maybe not for the others necessarily. same for the slightly angled design. the boards are big and you probably want a wrist rest. but it IS possible to use them without. Also depends if you generally hover over your board while typing or not. I observed that I do that alot with my fullsize board which also has a wrist rest, but I hardly use it that way.
will get the K2 when we get them in my country. Great video, just a note, using white LED lights will give a better look and maybe use your monitor to see yourself edited, was full of typos LOL
Bought the K8 Pro few days ago, it died after 2 days of use the BT module is dead completely. Resetting the board multiple time and trying to get to work with multiple other PCs didn't work, it simply went off forever and got sent back. I'm now using my 2 years old MX keys and it's still kicking.
It’s a shame that the other two options for the K8 weren’t even mentioned. They also have non-backlit and non-backlit with aluminium plate and they come with different colour keycaps than the backlit K8
I have a K2 for over a year .. love it but I always felt the keys are too small or too close together ? So I make mistakes sometimes … would like to have a more spread out layout … does this make sense ? Any recommendation ? It is just because I’m used to low profile (laptop ) keyboards before ?
Someone recommended me to look into keychon keyboards, as I need a new one due to working with laptop in a standard (kept getting back and neck aches). I write a lot of papers for my work, but I haven’t had a mechanical keyboard in like 13 years (I call them old fashion keys). I actually didn’t know they still had them, I always worked on my laptops, so the apple style keyboards. I am honestly asking why are these bulky keys better then those flat keys? I also read the keys in this look is better for your wrists? And some do find that it types a lot better. And why are there lights in a keyboard? You say at night you can see it, but you have lightbulbs and I type blind. Never had trouble typing in the ‘dark’, and I have made some all nighters. Rereading this Just now, and I sound sarcastic, but I’m honestly asking because I do not know what to choose. I’m just a noob when it come to technology. So hopefully 🙏 someone can help me out. Thanks. :)
If you like the keychron brand and use low profile's like the mac keyboard, I recommend you try getting the keychron k3 or the keychron k1 which is a full sized keyboard but easier to get. Some people can't type without looking at their keyboard so they use the rgb/white backlights to see the keys. I think the key sizes are just a preference most people like for their keyboard, personally I don't like flat keys since put a lot of pressure into my key presses and it hurts my fingers.
yeah if you're working I'd recommend just getting a keychron k1 87 key with white led backlight and I recommend any switch besides the blue ones because blue switches would be horrid for work due to how loud they are.
Hi there I love your videos cause they’re very specific! Would love to see a comparison of rgb white 75% keyboards with wireless connection cause I’m looking for one and it’s hard to find the perfect one :(

You could just get complete keycap sets insted of dedicated layout sets. It will alse be future proof.

Will probably go for o-rings and some foam (for now) and see how it holds up. I have a few typing errors coming from an apple magic keyboard but I guess that's just normal and I'll get used to the higher profile over time.
Yeah definitely, and linear switches will take some time to get used to
Got the K6, have had no problems, however, it is m first mech
2:55 USB C-port on the left, that's why an angle?
C port can be connected, either way, right?
So, does it really matter?
Really informative vdo
I recently purchased a Keychron K7. The K7 is advertised as "wireless". It is actually Bluetooth (same frequency band, different protocols). Connected to my system with supplied (too short) USB cable. Multiple keys do not work. Keychron sent me a link to a website designed to test keyboards. I sent a screen shot of the results to Keychron. Keychron demands a video showing the keyboard and screen proving that I did not falsify the test results. The product is sold "as is" - there is no warranty. Tried to get an RMA number and a return shipping label. If the keys do NOT work, the feel DOES NOT MATTER, and the reliability DOES NOT MATTER! If this is the way they treat their customers, do not expect them to be there in a few years.
I want to replace my trash razer keyboard. I was about to buy gmmk but i heard these are good too. Drop ctrl is too expensive so i guess I’ll go with this
ok im narrowed down a little more now. a hotswap but still dont know k2 or k6. i think leaning to k2. your the best.
K2 is less limiting
@@SwitchandClickOfficial okei k2 then.but no shipping to india -.-
@@SwitchandClickOfficial ok now. (dont hate me) k2 or EPOMAKER GK73XS. i know i should just stfu and choose the k2 but
id love to see your take on the Keychron K1 SE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with the mint switchs, ive been leaning torwards getting it for a while
I've ordered the K2. Should arrive this week :0
Nice!
This is a very good thorough review, that made me decide I don't like any of these. Nice.
Nice
the K6 was my very first 65% wireless keeb, indeed bought after I had seen the review here. Using it for 3 months at my job now and still happily clacking away... battery lasts about 4 weeks when turning rgb off which surprised me. The weird layout (del, end, home key) was strange at first, now I am used to it and it is not such a big deal anymore. Been too lazy to reprogram so far :D customization is great, I switched keycaps, switched switches, modded stabs and dampened the hell out of it and now it sounds and looks really good. regarding bezels and angle: I think it is good, bezels defintely add style and sturdiness (and weight) and would recommend for K6, maybe not for the others necessarily. same for the slightly angled design. the boards are big and you probably want a wrist rest. but it IS possible to use them without. Also depends if you generally hover over your board while typing or not. I observed that I do that alot with my fullsize board which also has a wrist rest, but I hardly use it that way.
Thanks for the input
so has the k6 hotswap?
@@ahtiparviainen9077yep, AFAIK all of these have hotswap!
@@Luemm3l thank you.
Great video
will get the K2 when we get them in my country.
Great video, just a note, using white LED lights will give a better look and maybe use your monitor to see yourself
edited, was full of typos LOL
What white light
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I mean for lighting your face, if you use some white LED lights that kinda gives better and modern look to your video.
Nice vid! Just got the k8 because of my programming which I could really use the extra keys on the side for
what do you use it for?
love love your videos, really enjoy your reviews!
Thank you so much!
Bought the K8 Pro few days ago, it died after 2 days of use the BT module is dead completely. Resetting the board multiple time and trying to get to work with multiple other PCs didn't work, it simply went off forever and got sent back. I'm now using my 2 years old MX keys and it's still kicking.
It’s a shame that the other two options for the K8 weren’t even mentioned. They also have non-backlit and non-backlit with aluminium plate and they come with different colour keycaps than the backlit K8
This could not have come at a better time, I've been wanting to buy a Keychron but I just couldn't decide which one hehe
K2 it is hehehe ty!!
Hope it helped
Great vid! Can you use the multimedia keys for mac when using this on windows?
I have a K2 for over a year .. love it but I always felt the keys are too small or too close together ? So I make mistakes sometimes … would like to have a more spread out layout … does this make sense ? Any recommendation ? It is just because I’m used to low profile (laptop ) keyboards before ?
I’m actually getting the hotswappable k2 delivered today!
Great!
I am also waiting for mine but it is non-swap. What's the difference?
Someone recommended me to look into keychon keyboards, as I need a new one due to working with laptop in a standard (kept getting back and neck aches). I write a lot of papers for my work, but I haven’t had a mechanical keyboard in like 13 years (I call them old fashion keys). I actually didn’t know they still had them, I always worked on my laptops, so the apple style keyboards. I am honestly asking why are these bulky keys better then those flat keys? I also read the keys in this look is better for your wrists? And some do find that it types a lot better. And why are there lights in a keyboard? You say at night you can see it, but you have lightbulbs and I type blind. Never had trouble typing in the ‘dark’, and I have made some all nighters. Rereading this Just now, and I sound sarcastic, but I’m honestly asking because I do not know what to choose. I’m just a noob when it come to technology. So hopefully 🙏 someone can help me out. Thanks. :)
If you like the keychron brand and use low profile's like the mac keyboard, I recommend you try getting the keychron k3 or the keychron k1 which is a full sized keyboard but easier to get. Some people can't type without looking at their keyboard so they use the rgb/white backlights to see the keys. I think the key sizes are just a preference most people like for their keyboard, personally I don't like flat keys since put a lot of pressure into my key presses and it hurts my fingers.
yeah if you're working I'd recommend just getting a keychron k1 87 key with white led backlight and I recommend any switch besides the blue ones because blue switches would be horrid for work due to how loud they are.
all i can say is i love my k1v2!
Nice!
Got the K2. Great keyboard but I ordered the K1 to see if low profile is better for me.
Nice nice
Hi there I love your videos cause they’re very specific! Would love to see a comparison of rgb white 75% keyboards with wireless connection cause I’m looking for one and it’s hard to find the perfect one :(
Are there any white ones other than race3?
