Keychron K15 Pro (Alice Layout) QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

This keyboard is phenomenal. Been using it for dev for nearly a year without any issues. The Alice layout is incredible and the keyboard works flawlessly whether it’s connected to my Mac or windows machine.

However, if you want to get carrying case to protect it traveling to work, choose another keyboard! I have been waiting for a carrying case to be released for nearly a year. I have contacted them on Instagram and they could not provide any guarantee that one would ever be released sadly. If a carrying case came out, this would be an easy 5 stars, but it seems like this keyboard isn’t getting the love that others have sadly.

I’ve used other mechanical keyboards before, albeit not very modded, and I was never truly happy. The standard profile keyboard size just isn’t what I’m used to as a primarily Macbook user for the past 10+ years. Gotta say, this is soooo GOOD. I really don’t write a lot of reviews, but I’m truly happy with this piece of beautiful machinery and when I got an email asking for a review I had to answer to the call and recommend this hottie, specifically with the Brown Gaterons tactile switches. The low-profile still takes a couple of days to get used to from a laptop keyboard but its no biggie, the feel is great, the lights are cool, remapping keys is amazing, the knob exists and thats dope. Honestly super duper happy, so thank you, Keychron!

Is it weird that I constantly crave typing now?

Is it also weird that I have a favorite key now too? (backspace)

I won't hesitate and say that this is the best keyboard that I have ever bought, and I have bought quite a few.

I originally bought it with blue switches because the one with red switches were not stocked.

I later replaced the blue switches with red ones. The typing experience can be compared to laptop style scissor switches, but with greater travel distance. It is much more comfortable than the full size mechanical switches which have quite a long travel distance.

I have enjoyed programming it with QMK too, and Keychron is the only company that makes Alice keyboards with REAL support for QMK. I can't see myself buying any keyboard without QMK support now, and fortunately, Keychron seems committed to supporting QMK on their boards (I hope this never changes).

I think the only downside I can see with this board is that the keycaps are not shine-through. It should be an option just like the switch type.

I love a split & mechanical switches, this is near flawless. The only thing missing from this near perfect keyboard is an optional wrist pad and an "end" key on right side of keyboard, there's a space near the arrow keys, why not add it (memory keys are not where my brain expects the home & end keys - they should be on the right).

Other than these 2 minor shortcomings, perfection.

Bought it, even if not available in german QWERTZ Layout. But because of reprogrammabillity, that does not matter that much. The clickiness of the brown switches is on point. Big fan.
I would really like to have not ansi style buyable Low Profile Double Shot PBT LSA Keycap Set Version 1 keys for that keyboard. But who cares.
