KeychronK17 Pro Low-Profile QMK/VIA Custom Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Numpad Programmable Knob Bluetooth/Wired RGB Backlight Compatible with Mac Windows Linux

Amazon, please auto-save reviews, because I'm not writing this all over again. In summary:- It is great. Small. Compact. Customizable. Full anatomically correct numpad.- Knob feels good. It has a soft resistance stepping mechanism similar to a mouse wheel.- Keycaps look and feel great. You just need to wait for their shine-through keycaps to come back in stock or get them 3rd party if you want those.- It work with the open source software, VIA, which is pretty cool. Just gotta follow instructions on the Keychron website to download and load the layout into VIA. VIA is a separate project from Keychron, so I won't ding this keyboard or Keychron for it not being there by default, in fact I'd give Keychron kudos for providing the layout on their website so that it will work.

Overall a very well-made keyboard, but my first delivery seems to be an open box item (no shrink wrap, missing packaging, and the keyboard was sitting outside of the inner box at delivery), one of the keys did not have the clicky feedback, so I requested a replacement.Replacement looks and feels spanking new.

Don't buy it. Using it on a mac. Three months after purchasing it (one month after return window closed) the keyboard is a mess. Sometimes I have to press several times the same key to get it to type anything, sometimes the keyboard just repeats keystrokes for no apparent reason. Tried BlueTooth and wired connections. Same results. Had to go back to my old non-wireless dasKeyboard to be able to work again. :(

Easy to config and works great !

I really like this keyboard, the knob makes media controls easy. I don’t really use the backlight, but it’s a neat feature. So far I haven’t had issues with battery life or connectivity with my 2023 Mac mini. I replaced a Corsair k70 that was too loud for me with this. The brown switches are not silent but they feel great and aren’t too loud.

Title says it all. This keyboard rocks.

i've got this for 1 week, everthing is good as i expected but except the backlights. Even if i increase the light of it, it is absolutely not enough , and also the backlights don't illuminate the keys . It illuminates around the key and unfortunately the keys themselves are designed not to allow light to pass through. If this is so, how can we expect that backlights illuminate the keys ? what is the point of adding backligts on the keyboard ?I am really disappointed.

It really is a nice keyboard. Nice sound, good travel, ready for Mac or PC. Takes some gettin used to especially if you haven’t used a mechanical keyboard in a while, like me.A couple of moans. Backlighting could be brighter - at max it looks great in the dark but fades pretty quickly in the light. Space bar could use at least one more light under it. One just leaves the edges hanging as far as rgb goes. Would be nice to get a list of all of the built in lighting effects. You have to toggle through them all, one by one. And, the instructions could be a little more clear.Can’t comment on battery life as it won’t stay connected to my old Mac 5,1 (but I think it’s my Bluetooth, not the keyboard).As mentioned in the title, the first one I got was obviously opened, broken, and stuffed back into the box (box wasn’t plastic wrapped either).One thing to keep in mind…it might take a week to get to you.Price point is a little steep but we’ll judge that as time goes on.
