V6 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard, Full-Size QMK/VIA Programmable Macro with Hot-swappable Keychron K Pro Brown Switch Compatible with Mac Windows Linux (Frosted Black-Translucent)

My other keyboard has Cherry MX Brown switches, and it's a great keyboard. The switches are soldered though, and I wanted one that's how hot-swappable. I've also been wanting to try red switches. This keyboard is exactly I've been looking for. Red switches, hot-swappable, wired with no wireless options and programmable keys . Compared to the browns, these switches are so smooth that it almost feels weird. But that's not a bad thing at all. They have a nice clicky sound when they bottom out. This weighs 3 pounds, so it stays where you put it. The keycaps are double-shot so they should last forever. They also look and feel great. They're not translucent so you can see what's on them without the LED's on. Thankfully the LED lights can be turned off. I don't go for that flashy stuff. The programmable keys are great. I've only assigned 3, but that's all I need. I made one for the calculator, and the other 2 are for Power and Sleep. I don't know why they stopped having those on keyboards, but I'm really glad to have them back. This comes with the tools you need to pull off the keycaps and switches, plus a small screwdriver and Allen wrench so you can take the back off if you need to. The only thing I don't like is where the power cord plugs in. It's in the back left corner. I would have preferred the right side, or at least the middle. I guess that's just personal preference. I've added a right angle USB-C adapter to it so the cord now goes down along the back to keep it out of the way. 10/10 would recommend.

I love this keyboard! By far my favorite keyboard I ever bought. Pros: - The brown keys are great for typing and programming. - I love the built-in back lighting effects you can also change without software. - I also love the mac/windows toggle switch on the back to help control how the windows key works. - Everything is great quality. Very well built. I don't know how to describe this, but the plastic quality feels really nice under my finger tips, unlike the razer and Logitech keyboards I have used in the past, which the plastic feels glossy, this keyboard feels matte. - It even comes with a neat key hooking device to pull out keys easier. Cons: I wish the letters on the actual keys were backlit. But the pros far outweigh the cons! I bought this keyboard for work and some evening gaming, and I love using this thing!

Solid build quality, solid typing feel, solid keyboard. Heard about this keyboard from a review on Wirecutter but didn't see it reviewed many other places (aside from here). I decided to give it a shot, and I couldn't be more impressed with it so far. It has the solid mechanical feel I remember from the old IBM mechanical keyboards but with quieter (brown switches), more modern switches, features, and RGB lighting. The key quality and lighting make for a great look. I know some have commented about the lack of shine through on the keys, but I think the south facing RGB lighting still makes for a great look. I use it for a mix of typing, office productivity, and casual gaming, and it works well in all areas. This keyboard comes with everything you need and more, plus reasonably clear instructions. The only negative I can think of is just having to spend a minute swapping four keys to get the Windows layout (it comes with Mac key layout by default). I'm not sure if this decision was because the majority of their customers are Mac users, or if they're just trying to force Windows gamers to get a quick hands on tutorial with key cap swapping, but it's not enough to subtract any from the rating. I haven't gotten a chance to try out the open source customization software for key mapping and such, but will update this review if/when I do. My love of this keyboard was also seconded by my wife. As soon as I got it out of the packaging, she tried the keys and fell in love with the typing feel/sound, and again once I got it hooked up for the RGB lighting. She loved it so much that we had to get a second one (with red switches this time).

This keyboard is excellent! The keyboard itself is built well and has a decent bit of heft to it. The stock keys, while not my favorite in appearance are very comfortable to type on. The stock brown switches are excellent but I opted to swap them for Kailh Box White V2 switches and the typing experience is phenomenal. Customization is also pretty decent through VIA and with a bit of knowledge and some reading online you can program the keyboard to run on OpenRGB/SignalRGB by using QMK commands. That process is fairly easy. The only cons I would say this keyboard has are fairly minor in my eyes, the first one being that the RGB lighting only has about 20 stock lighting profiles and they are all very basic. Again that can be fixed with about 15 minutes of googling and flashing the appropriate firmware to allow use of OpenRGB/SignalRGB. The second con is the stock key caps. While they feel nice to type on, they aren't the best looking and they aren't shine through either. Frankly that's on odd design decision. Whats the point of putting RGB lights on your keyboard if you're going to install regular painted key caps that dont let light through? Sure, key caps are cheap, but its still odd. All things considered this is an excellent keyboard whether you are looking for something ready to go out of the box, or something to customize.

Excellent in customization 1. key caps and switches can be changed 2. button shortcuts can be customized for change in button layout, lighting, macros 3. has volume knob 4. not too loud 5. 4 extra buttons on top right for customization 6. can easily switch between Mac and Windows, with two layouts for each Drawbacks 1. lack of Bluetooth connectivity 2. the backlight does not penetrate through the keycaps. I'm using the one with V6 with Brown switches for INR. 9999, not available anymore.
