Switching from membrane, this keyboard rocks

I hate gaming keyboards, they look like rainbow-shining toys for kids and they sound terrible. Not this beauty, the design is 10x better and it feels amazing when typing. I have red switches, carbon black and without knob, because it was the only one in stock. Typing in the first days was rough, I made a lot of mistakes easily, because I wasn't used to the red switches. After few weeks, I got used to it and typing is flawless. Only downside is that it doesn't have shine-through keycaps, but I don't care really. Works on linux too without any issues! Overall 10/10, would buy again

The v-series are great entry level keyboards

The v-series are great keyboards, and the TKL layout is super useful and a great choice if just stepping down from full size. Highly recommend!

This thing is great

Coming from a HyperX Alloy Origins Core, and this thing blows that piece of trash out of the water. The sound and feel are absolutely incredible. It sounds deep and heavy and it feels smooth and consistent. Looks are subjective, and I like the pudding keycaps I had on my old keyboard, however the looks are for you to decide if you like them or not - you can always get a keycap set to change it up. Overall, this thing is incredible, I love it already and it only arrived a few hours ago and I cannot recommend it enough. Well done Keychron!

this one is good

Everything is good. 94 dollars for keyboard isn't nothing, and i appreciate they avoided cut things that would make this a good product to try to upsell you to a 200 keyboard.

The keys are very nice. The switches, feel find to me. I got the browns because i find the feedback helps me not need to bottom out which keeps me a little quieter and it's easier on the joints, but honestly they are like gateron browns, i mean you can hardly tell. I might recommend just getting the reds or if your a brown person going for cherry. they feel like gateron browns to me.

What i really wanted was a keyboard with a volume knob, this was the main thing that made me decide to upgrade from the K8. I like the k8 quite a lot too TBH i like the shine though aspect better indeed, and it has more features. In the end though i never used the bluetooth. It works fine, but with keyboards and backlits more so i prefer to have a wire for power. My solution is a magnetic adapter. Think hard though because i think blutooth is always justifiable, and the main reason to get the costlier model

Volume control is something i used and imapcted my desire to use the k8. like if i'm on a teams call, and need to quickly get to it, and i've got multiple monitors so it becomes a little hassle to quickly adjust the vol all the time. I don't like having to hit a function key a bunch of times or even holding it down. I'm surprised volume knob isn't almost standard issues on keyboards these days it seems to me it shouldn't add much more to the cost than any other key.

what would make this better i'll tell you.
1. ) usb pass though
2.) shine though keycaps, that are pbt.
3.) as i said i think bluetooth is something everyone should think about these days. It just so happen si have got multiple desks and my configuration at least currently it's not an issue.

I don't know that i see this as much of a downgrade personally from the more expensive board. you get all the programmability, you don' t have the full gasket thing, but if you aren't bottoming out it's less important, and finally i had the older one with the metal. It it's not a big deal, if fact i'd say at last in the k8 model it 's kind of a weird lip. I don't personally see much reason to not just get the plastic one. When you get the metal one it's just like a frame around it. you still have a metal plate in this one, so maybe someone else can correct me here, but i'm not seeing it being worth the additional cost. Bluetooth and battery i can see adding 30 to the cost. I don't see it being worth almost 2x though. that seems a bit crazy.

do i like it better than the k8. Kind of similar. They are both good. Also, i'm not positive i'll program it, but I'm glad they left the software on there and kept it open source. If i were on the fence, and didn't need bluetooth, i think that would tip it. However, i think for many you should probably consider bluetooth. i mean being able to switch between 3 computers is really nice (on k8) for almost the same price.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

These double-shot PBT keycaps have a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Switch Layouts Between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron V3 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Program V3 with QMK & VIA

With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more.

Hot-swappable

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Pre-lubed Keychron K Pro Switch

By optimizing the switch mold, the K Pro switch wobbles less than a standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed process on all the K Pro switches (exclude the clicky ones), no doubt this will ensure the best smoothness at your fingertips when typing.

All New Screw In PCB Stabilizers Keychron V3 Custom Mechanical Keyboard

All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers

The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, backspace) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron V3 also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.
