Keychron K7 Pro QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

Best one yet

I have been using this keyboard for about a month now, and it has quickly become my favorite board I’ve ever owned. The low profile feels comfortable to type on all day, and its size makes it easily portable. Out of the box, the keys feel and sound great with the brown switches, though I bought a few blue switches to place under the Esc, backspace, and the CMD keys to give them a little better feel. I love that it’s so easily customizable. The look of these keys is just about perfect, very clean lettering on a sleek profile with just a hint of nostalgia. I’ve been using VIA to change the keyboard layout to better suit my usage habits, and it’s great that the software is so easily configurable and the keycaps, since they are all the same profile, can be rearranged in almost any configuration, though I wish Keychron would either add a few common alternative options or allow us to purchase a kit with those options. For example, I quickly changed Caps Lock into Esc, and it would be marvelous to have a keycap I could swap in to reflect that change. The only negative on this board is that the lighting effects are wonderful but the keycaps don’t have shine-through, so the full effect of the north-facing LEDs is mostly lost. Also, I’m crossing my fingers that Keychron follows this up with a 60% or—even better—a 40% K Pro board.
