K1 White Backlight Mechanical Keyboard

Previously I was using the K1/v3 version. It is still an excellent keyboard, however, I wanted to get something with shaped keycaps. I tried two copies of K1/v4 and returned them both as some of the wider keys such as Tab, were not well balanced and would get stuck if you did not exactly land your finger at the center of the key. When I saw the K1/v5, I decided to give it a try. I have just been using it for a few hours and already I can feel the much improve the handling of the keys. The Tab key no longer gets stuck when the finger lands on the edge and the entire typing experience feels a lot tighter and more precise than what I experienced with v3 and v4 versions. I will continue to test the keyboard, however, for now, I think Keychron definitely addressed shortcomings with the v4 version.

I like the feel and the hight of the base row on this keyboard. However, it would benefit enormously from the addition of a height adjustment toward the back. That is, there is no angle adjustment and when laid flat, the key cap slope is slightly negative. I glued some pads on the back to get the pitch right, but it should have had to option to adjust it so the key tops are at least level. I wound up adding 3/8" to the underside. 6/24/22 - adding to review and subtracting a star. I still like the feel, but I have a lot of problem with some kind of key rollover effect. If I'm typing quickly (in general) all of a sudden the keyboard will start sending a random character to my Dell Latitude laptop. Usually a string of about 50 characters and then the bluetooth key will start flashing and I'll lose connection for about 10-15 seconds. This happens about once an hour, but it's dependent on how much I'm typing. It may occur when I hit two keys simultaneously, but key rollover should prevent that. In general, this is very frustrating. I've used the same laptop with at least two other Bluetooth keyboards that don't have the same problem.

I am replacing my Logitech keyboard with this. I didn't know how much I liked it until I got one.

I'm glad that I finally got the blue switch keyboard. I have been using several mechanical keyboard so far (yellow, red, and brown switches), and the blue switch was my least favorite. However, recently, I started to have some fond of having a blue switch keyboard + low profile keyboard. I was juggling between K3 and K1 (this version). I actually wanted to get k3, but K1 was way cheaper ($43)! I wish it had some mild angle (~6deg), but not a big deal. I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

After a month as a software development keyboard I love it.
