Keychron K3 Ultraslank draadloos mechanisch toetsenbord (Duitse ISO-DE-indeling) - Versie 2

So i generally think the whole mechanical keyboard scene is mostly just people having a hobby that consist of buying overpriced tech gadgets.

But this is different. $84 will provide access to a great typing expierience. The aluminum chassis, the keycaps, everything feels great. This is the real deal. Recommend the blue switches.

I had the opportunity to compare the keychron K3 with the logitech G915 and I really like the optical low profile switches in comparison to the ones of the logitech keyboard. Both are of high quality and use state of the art technology. I can really recommend this keyboard although the battery life is a bit too short when using the led backlight.

The quality of the keyboard is really nice and I would recommand it definitly. I have only 2 small points to criticize: 1. The stroke of the keys is really very sensitive from my ultra slim red switches and 2. I would like to have a software to be able to set the colors, allocations, etc.. Also, I have no view of how full or empty my battery is. With any other device I get the battery level displayed in my Mac when it is connected with bluetooth.

The shipping was a bit long but it was because of the bad german DHL Service.

And I would prefer the K5 with german layout but it's not available!

I've got the K3 Ultra-slim with red switches. There are only a few things I don't like. In general it's simply great.

Pros:
I like the key-travel. It's not too far, not too short. For example I've got the Logitech MX Keys, too. It's a great keyboard for typing, but the key-travel is too short for gaming. The K3 is perfect.
I ordered not the RGB-Version because I just wanna see the keys. I don't need a disco under my fingers :-). The lighting is really good. Not too bright, not too dark.
The build quality ist great. It's sturdy. It feels really great. A good weight, so it doesn't move on my desk. But not too heavy to break my desk. Perfect!

Cons:
I don't understand why the F1-12 stays dark. The "Apple-Signs" on the F-keys are illuminated but not the F-numbers. Not everybody who owns this keyboard is an Apple-Fanboy...
I miss a little "bumper" on the W-key like on the Roccat Horde for example. I mean this little thing to feel like on the F-key and the J-key. This would help a lot if you are a WASD-Gamer.
I don't know why the powerswitch is in this order: Bluetooth - Off - Cable. It's a little bit tricky to switch it from "Bluetooth" to "Off" instead of "Cable".

In general it is what I wanted it to be. A small keyboard with less space on my desk, wireless and a great typing experience.

Do I recommend it? Yes of course! If my Cons don't bother you.

The product is awesome. Really like the quality and brand. I find the keyboard layout itself it slightly too cramped for me and I find myself tapping other keys accidentally. Its a pity as the size is amazing. I will probably try the K8 and try and Ebay this one.
