Bluetooth:
Worked flawlessly in setting up, and is a quick transfer between the three devices I have attached to the keyboard (Function 1 +Q, W, and E keys to toggle between your chosen devices).
Hardware Design (frame and kickstand):
I got the PLASTIC frame for this board, and the board has ZERO flex. Solid as granite.
Saved 20 bucks by not going aluminum (nor RGB) and taking the plastic frame, hot-swappable, regular white backlit version. Glad I did so as I also can't stand RGB on keyboards, and don't even want it there. The plastic is also a bit lighter than aluminum, which I like. Can carry this board all around the house and pack it into my backpack for trips to the local cafe :-)
The kickstand feet are incredible -- I prefer the highest of the three settings, and don't consider the keyboard to be "too high" at all. Love the natural upwards slant of the key rows and I can't even go back to the medium height of the board, I've become so well-adjusted. Some reviewers complained about it being too high, but I think it's ergonomics are spot-on -- most other keyboards, even mechs, are too low for the most natural feeling.
Key Layout:
I like having a dedicated button in the top-right for the backlit keys (15 different settings), as well as NOT having that useless insert key.
There are two function keys on the bottom instead of the function row up top and a smaller right shift to make the layout nice and condense. For those that like mastering what the Function keys can do in conjunction with all the other keys, it is a delight to only use two function keys while also saving space without that dedicated function row. Frees up some of that ever precious Desktop Real Estate ;-)
I consider the Cap Locks key and the right-hand ALT to be pretty useless, but try finding a non-customized keyboard without those two.
You can also remap keys, but not yet with Keychron software -- you'd have to go third party. Apparently Keychron is working right now on their own software to make it a bit easier to reprogram keys on their boards, but third party software for doing so is free and easy to begin with.
I also use the 4 arrow keys and the Home, Page Up, and Page Down buttons a LOT more than I thought I did, and my guess is so do most people -- glad these are all dedicated keys.
Charge:
Battery life is pretty stunning, especially when the keyboard shuts off after ten idle minutes, and only requires one key press to turn back on.
For every three days I use it wirelessly, it only takes three hours with the USB to fully charge again (and I'm sleeping or still working with the keyboard while it's doing so).
The USB cable is pretty sturdy and hefty for an out-of-the-box design, though nothing like the coiled cables that are becoming more and more popular. Even going entirely wired-in would not be that bad with this cable, though it'd be better if it was centered in the middle of the keyboard -- instead it is on the left hand side of the frame. Oh well, nothing's perfect...
Modding:
It was extremely easy to replace the switches and the key caps as well, on the hot-swappable version. Got the K6 modded out now to my utmost desire. Couldn’t have been more satisfied. The Gateron Reds are now all Silent Box Browns and all 68 keys are working after the swap.
Keycaps:
The ABS keycaps are pretty bad, though not as bad as some reviews claim -- the oil and residue left behind hasn't been bad at all, so far -- but they DO feel cheaper and sharper and louder than PBT keycaps..
And, IMO, the font on them is terrible, as are the multi-media and function labels. I had to strain my eyesight while typing to even make out the yellow multi-media depictions, never mind the almost invisible blue of the function numbers.
--------------------------
PS: the switch-puller that Keychron includes IS quite awful. It's better than nothing, I suppose, but my advice would be to invest 3-5 bucks into a top of the line switch puller.
After I fully swapped out my Gateron Reds for Silent Box Browns, I noticed about 5-6 of the previous red switches had that small little bar snap off on top, which bends inwards when a switch-puller is applied to it. Not bad for me, since I never plan on using those switches again, but it does make the switch a bit more wobbly if you ever put it back on.
It's a cheap switch-puller which makes the whole experience quite violent and literally like pulling teeth.
The keycap puller is also pretty shoddy, and quite a rough experience, but no caps were broken and only a few flew 2-3 feet away...

PPS: tactile gang rise up 😎

tl;dr -- the best hot-swappable, Bluetooth 5.1, 68 keys mechanical keyboard you can get these days under 100 bucks!!!
PROS:
- The battery is BIG, lasts me a few weeks per charge (way better than the Anne Pro).
- Bluetooth works smoothly (connects to my Mac in maybe 1 second flat after being idle).
- Mac compatibility and has Mac keycaps on the board by default.
- Very nice white backlighting (I’m not an RGB fan at all). The keycaps have sharp, clean backlight shine through.
- The side USB C input does NOT bother me like it does others. I prefer it because with my laptop, I like all the cabling off the the side.
- Hot swappable switches
CONS:
- ABS keycaps feel a bit dinky and scuff easily. (although this is easily upgradable).
- The light setting button is easy to hit by accident. I now lock my light settings, so it doesn’t matter.
- The blue Gateron switches are wobbly.
- Some of the switches are really hard to pull out of the board.
- The switch plate is not anything special
- not sure it’s custom programmable, but then again I haven’t needed to
MODS:
As is, this is great bang for your buck. But if you’re interested in modding the board, this is what I’m doing to make it really really great.
-Added o rings on the keycaps for less key travel and keycap sounds.
-filled the case with thin silicone strips and felt. The keyboard is now virtually silent. I normally like some thunk, but since this is a cheaper plastic case, the silence is really nice. It also added some heft to feel more substantial.
- Got thicker PBT keycaps to replace the ABS ones (OEM profile). I only replaced the letter keycaps because Keychron’s number row has the Mac icons printed on (for brightness, vol, etc), which are hard to find elsewhere. I emailed Keychron and they said they plan to make a PBT option as well, but didn’t know when. (Photos show original keycaps except for the blue arrow keys I put on)
-Switches. This is a hot swappable board, so I’ll be putting in Kailh Box Jades for a deeper click and less wobble.
Overall, this is a nice budget board that has some really unique specs, like the big battery and Mac friendliness. For those alone, this is worth considering, and then modding if needed. The stuff it lacks on, like key feel, are easy to change.
