Review: Good even in 2026 - Did not expect much for a keyboard on the older side, as the budget keyboard market has progressed quickly since 2021 release of this board. However, I was very satisfied with this keyboard, it is a well built, reliable reinforced with detachable wired only (no wireless battery dying within 2 years), and with reliable tactile switches that is also hot-swappable. This solves many of the failure points that could go wrong in a keyboard, and the PCB itself, I have faith in Keychron's QC. This keyboard is a no frills product, it isn't doing more than needed. It is a keyboard that will be there when you need it to work. The only feature I would've wanted to add more longer lasting performance is PBT keycaps, to prevent shiny keycaps, but that's more a luxury want, these ABS keycaps do the job and won't fail on you, while cutting cost. The lubing on my unit was extremely well done, and consistent, with only one side of the backspace key needing a little lubing, but extremely impressive for this price point as I've dealt with much worse from brands like Wooting, Aula, and Epomaker. Lighting is well and bright, RGB would've been cool but I don't really care for it, if it means cheaper board. The weight is fair, it's not light but on that side of the scale. I like the keycaps design, being white and black means it can adapt to many different desk set ups without a problem. The sound isn't marbly or a deep thock, but it is nice neutral classic mechanical keyboard sound to my ears, more on the thocky side than clacky. The Keychron brand itself is known for selling solid keyboards at a good price, although in recent years their more modern releases has seen mixed reviews, this keyboard doesn't suffer from that and is coming from one of the stronger releases of a brand that has trust from many. The Mac to Window switch is awesome, the blue led to show what you are on and also for caps lock, it's a straight forward design. Great 9.5/10 board for what I wanted, a workhorse. Will update if it doesn't stand the test of time, starting 2026.
Review: Beautiful, brisk and best bang for the buck - Great bang for the buck. i love the feeling when i type into it. It's fairly easy on the fingers and i don't have to apply as much pressure as on my older more expensive quieter keyboards. this one is not quiet though. but you can definintely enjoy typing away your stress. fewer typos. it's brisk. the design is great. i thought i wouldn't like it, but i now like it very much. it looks classic and old at first, almost colorless. but no, this one is a true classic. the light that comes on is also just so subtle enough for my taste. great buy. sturdy. i'd give it 4.5 (minus 0.5 due to the sound, but hey if you type alone with no one around, this is a fun keyboard.) a real joy! better than my leopold that cost me $150 bucks honestly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you replace the stabilizers?**
A: In principle, yes. However I just tried to do so, using the ZugGear/Durock plate mounts, and the sockets in the plate were far too tight to install the new ones. I actually ended up damaging a couple of housings in the process. 😕 Let me know if you find some replacements that fit!

**Q: Sorry if this is super obvious, but does this come with Windows and Mac keycaps?**
A: It came with both. You also switch the keyboard from Mac to Windows Mode. If I recall correctly it arrived in Mac mode.

**Q: How long is the cable that comes with the keyboard? And can a longer cable be used without compromising functionality?**
A: It’s about 2m and is a pretty standard USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter on one end. You could use any suitable USB-C cable that is long enough for your needs. I don’t use the cable that came with it, instead I use a 1m USB-A to USB-C cable so I don’t have a lot of extra wire on my desk.

**Q: does it have usb**
A: Hello,
The Keychron C1 mechanical keyboard supports wired mode only, the connection is Type-C wired, thanks for your kind question.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for programming, amazing quality for the price
*by W***T on October 5, 2023*

I've never had a mechanical keyboard before, but wanted to invest in a nicer keyboard because I spend about 1/3 of every day typing. While I considered other keyboards, I ended up picking this one because of its flexibility/modifiability while still being 100% beginner-friendly. I got a good bargain by purchasing used, so I paid only $51--at that price it really can't be beat. It was hard to find an "entry-level" mechanical keyboard that was high-quality without ridiculous rainbow glowy lights all over it. (Sure, RGB features on those blinged-out gaming keyboards can be disabled, but then it feels like I'm paying a premium for a feature I didn't even want.) This keyboard ticks all the boxes for me and has been a delight to use so far. Pros: - The stock keycaps feel high quality. Of course they're replaceable too, if they ever wear out or I want a change. - Pleasantly subtle color scheme. No rainbow glowy lights. They even include extra ESC keycaps if you don't like the orange one it comes with. - Switches and stabilizers feel buttery smooth to me, but I am a mechanical keyboard newbie, so I'm comparing it to the cheap scissor-mechanism keyboards I'm used to. - Wired USB-C with a replaceable cable. I hate Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and far prefer a trusty plug-n-play peripheral like this that never needs a battery or disconnects itself at inconvenient times. It Just... Works. Info: - Can switch between Mac and Windows/Linux layout on the fly. Extra keycaps for alt/option/command/WIN are included too so you can set it up for your preferred layout. - I won't be using the keyboard backlight much, since even when I program in the dark I'm still touch-typing. But occasionally I gotta hunt-and-peck some special function key, so I guess it's nice to have. It has several silly/aesthetic lighting patterns that I will never use, haha. - I chose Brown switches and am happy with them, though they are slightly louder than I was expecting. (Mechanical keyboard nerds aren't lying when they wax enthusiastic about the satisfying clackety noises.) The hot-swappable feature means a noob like me can try different switches without having to solder, if I were so inclined. Cons: - Keycaps are ABS plastic, which tends to be less durable than PBT and will attract finger oils over time. (Though since they are removable, can easily clean or replace them.) - Maybe the loudness of the switches is a con if you are in an open plan office; though with some practice I think I can learn to type more quietly on these Brown switches, since they require less forceful presses and are more precise than basic cheapo keyboards I've used until now. I never expected to feel so positively about a basic computer peripheral! Guess I'm a mech keyboard enthusiast now?
