Keychron C1 Mac Layout Wired Mechanical Keyboard, Gateron Blue Switch, Tenkeyless 87 Keys ABS keycaps Computer Keyboard for Windows PC Laptop, White Backlight, USB-C Type-C Cable

This is a great buy and I am very much satisfied. The keys feel great and typing is fun. I would definitely recommend this product. I am very satisfied with the keyboard.

I have had this keyboard for and a while and what can I say, its a grate keyboard... it looks and functions grate and comes with extra keycaps and tools to remove keys. For its price its 100% worth it...and I'm even happy its white and not full rgb.

El teclado Keychron C1A3 es un teclado que funciona con un cable USB C. El teclado llego abierto y sin cable. No lo pienso regresar porque lo compre para reponer uno previo y lo requiero para trabajar. Lamentablemente el producto estaba descrito como nuevo, pero al llegar sin cable y con el empaque abierto me hace pensar que era un teclado usado. Además una de las piezas venia con excedente de grasa lubricante. Pésima compra. Eviten este comprado o modelo.

[review written by user's husband] The plastic case is tight and stiff, and the keys have no audible rattle. The brown key switches have a silent and barely-perceptible bump right about halfway down the keypress, as browns do. The keys have a noticeable clack when the key bottoms out (but see my mod comments below). I wouldn't say that the C1 is loud, but it does make noise and I'm sure it would irritate my co-workers in the office.It has white backlighting that I like (this model doesn't do RGB, but that's one of the reasons I chose it), and it can also flash the lights in a bunch of funky patterns that a 10-year-old might like.It came with a braided USB-C cable and a USB-C to "normal" USB adapter. It works great on my Mac Mini at home and my iMac at work. The keyboard has a switch on the back to switch between Windows or Mac.I added a single 40A silicone O-ring to each key that silenced the key clack. I also cut and fit a thin sheet of memory foam in the case under the PCB (got it from a keyboard modder friend -- not sure how you'd order some for yourself). Now the keyboard is very quiet (not as quiet as my Logitech K120 rubber domed keyboard), and the keys have a light pop on the key return (not on the downpress, which is the quiet part of the keystroke). It really sounds good. Check youtube. Plenty of people mod this keyboard to their liking.I use the keyboard for about 90/10 programming and gaming, and now it's quiet enough that I use it at work. I considered buying the Anne Pro that my programmer friend has (love that form factor) but he regrets the lack of arrow keys on the Anne (the Shift/Ctl/Fn/whatever keys in the lower right double as arrow keys, but convenience suffers, as you might imagine). And it turns out you can't put normal O-rings on the Anne because of its Kailh box switches.With the minimal mods I did, I don't know how I could do better than the C1.

I have 3 mechanical keyboards in the $70 and under price range. My favorite is the Velocifire TKL02WS. It has a layout that is very similar to the C1, but feels just a little nicer / premium to type on. It's not a Mac layout, however, and has fixed white key lighting (fine by me). The C1 has a few different lighting options, but the only practical one, IMO, is the fixed white option (none of the others are subtle enough not to seem gimicky).Compared to the Keychron K2 the C1 is definitely my preferred one. The keys on the K2 are just jammed together without even subtle spacing to differentiation function keys from numeric keys. Typing on the K2 is error prone, although it does have nicer RGB lighting options and rounded keys that seem a bit higher end / retro authentic.If you need a reasonably priced mechanical keyboard for a Mac, the Keychron C1 is a good option. If you're on Linux or Windows, Velocifire would be my preferred choice. I'll never by the cramped keyboard format of the K2 again.

The backlight is great, the key's feel excellent, and the tkl size felt really good when coming down from a full sized keyboard with a numpad. Being a plastic housing, it feel's solid, and is really comfortable to type on.My complaint that keeps this from being a five star review is the 3 pre-mapped keys in the top right corner. The keys control the keyboards backlight (different modes), voice assistant (like cortana or siri), and the third looks to be a snipping tool, but does nothing on windows. It's easy to press these keys on accident if you're not paying attention, and having to recycle through 12 lighting presets so I can get back to solid white is annoying. I wished that the backlight button was on the back of the keyboard, next to the switch to change between windows and mac, just to prevent accidental touches. Then, let the 3 keys be programmable macros by the user. It's a nice feature to have, and they basically serve that way anyway, but are pre-programmed.Again, while only a 4 star review, I completely recommend this keyboard for the price. It's good for gaming, comes with a nice braided usb-c cable, and an awesome keycap puller (also different key colors for a few, I changed the orange esc to a black one).
