Good all-purpose keyboard

This was my first TKL keyboard, and I like it a lot. Good construction quality and comfortable typing experience (brown switches). Very good quality/price ratio and perfect service.
Why not 5 stars? Because the legends on the keycaps are quite thin and I find them not easy to read. There's space for improvement here :-)
Beside that, a couple of suggestions:
- the package is very good, it gives from the start an impression of quality for the product, but the box is not easy to open once it's empty (I mean that without the internal weight of the keyboard, the two parts of the box are not easy to separate...)
- a "tux/linux/super" key to replace the win key would be a good addition to the set
- instruction on how to use the function keys in Linux should be printed in the inside leaflet: it's a common question in the discord channel, and the solution is easy to find thanks to Google, but let's simplify things for the users :-)

Keychron C1 Wired Mechanical Keyboard

Great keyboard with awesome tactile feel - other think it is noisy

Great keyboard with awesome tactile feel - other think it is noisy

Nice Keyboard but hotswap sockets are a little bit on the tight side.

This is a fantastic first keyboard, it looks good, it feels good, and it is easily moldable. The keycap puller is too big to get the escape key however and you have to pry it out with a knife. I can not for the life of me get the escape key's to switch. I am going to have to pull it out by disassembling the board and pushing it out. I recommend this keyboard if you're on a budget and need a high-quality first-time keyboard.

I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD

I use it everyday I really love it. I just wish the RGB hotswappable version was available. I would like to buy another one!
