This is a great review that helped me a lot in my search for my next keyboard. And it helped me to choose IN FAVOR of the Keychron B1 PRO, exactly because the reviewer is detailed in what he likes and what he does not! I love laptop keyboards (he loves mechanicals) so his review of the feel (despite not being a nechanical, he likes it) helps. Then the features, the great price, in comparison to the others, the sound, the low angle etc... He goes into great detail in all these characteristics, spots his pros and cons, but all in all is very helpful to make us understand what this keyboard offers! Not to mention that I do find it currently at about 28€ (in Greece, Black Friday week) so for the price (as he also states) it is really great! More so for those of us on a tight budget, that won't easily spend 100€ on a Keyboard, even if it is a great Logitech one... I will miss the illumination (by far the best pro of Logitech) but 30 vs 100 is a BIG price difference that justifies going for the cheaper one... Thanks for this review, it was very helpful!
Huh. That looks VERY similar to the MX Keys Mini, especially the concave keys. I have an MX Keys Mini at work and I like the travel, so this may not be for me, especially as it has no backlighting, but there is A LOT for the money here, and you get it from a brand you can trust. Nice job Keychron.
To Key Chron: Just change the following, and it will sell well. 1.Add home/end column on the right. Most mechanical 75% keyboards have it. 2. Add white backlight. No stupid RGB. 3. Use metal, instead of plastic. Of course, the price will go up, but I am not the only one who hates mechanical keys, but like the key customisation of mechanical keyboards.
I’m a CS student and I use the home and end keys very frequently, I didn’t even notice that they were absent in this keyboard…… thanks for bringing my attention to that.
I was looking for something like this actually as a travel keyboard. Had used a Microsoft compact designer keyboard for a long while but it broke. Thanks for the review
The down arrow key alone is a good reason NOT to buy this keyboard... It is so flimpsy, it already seems ready to fall inside, and that was from day one! You see up and down arrow keys are both in the same key spot and hav eno support, so they seem ready to slide down... Major major letdown from an otherwise good keyboard. What a pity...

If you don't really want TouchID this looks like a great keyboard for many Mac users who aren't keyboard enthusiast.

Wow, that is a great on the go budget keyboard 😮

Thanks for the review
Costs over US$100 in Brazil.
NKRO?
They should have made it silent to stand out...
The mx keys has refurbished for that price that's how I got it.
No backlight = sucks.

Im sorry, but you lost me on "membrane"...
OK, but of course there are a lot of us that actually prefer membrane...
