What we liked

  • + Ultra-slim 80% TKL layout with double-shot PBT keycaps keeps arrow keys and function row.
  • + Triple connection through 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.1 or USB-C, with up to 1000Hz polling on 2.4GHz and wired.
  • + QMK and the Keychron Launcher support remapping and macros, with 22 RGB effects.

Trade-offs

  • - Hot-swap works only with Gateron or Keychron low-profile switches, per the listing.
  • - It is an 80% TKL rather than the 65% layout of the old K7 Pro, and it is priced at the high end.
