Review: Keychron K5 over Logitech - I just got in my Keychron K5 Max and love it. I was trying to decided between spending the money on another Logitech MX Mechanical or the Keychron. If you are trying to decided which keyboard to get, get the Keychron!
Review: Some getting used to it is involved, but overall a great experience - Pretty happy with this so far. There is some adjustment, because--at least in the case of the brown switches I got--they actuate earlier in the key press than I'm used to. And if you're in the habit of resting a finger or part of your hand a little on some keys, you'll sometimes get unwanted keypresses. I really don't think this is a product problem. It's just the nature of the switch, probably. I did use brown Gaterons on another keyboard and this problem less often, though, so I'm not sure they're all the same. Still, for now I'm calling it a "thing you get used to." On the whole, I love typing on this thing. It feels great and I'm making fewer errors, even with the occasional 'oops I dragged that finger and made letters.' Can't comment on battery life yet. Haven't had it that long. But I think it's a good test of a keyboard if you find yourself looking for excuses to type stuff.
