This is my first mechanical keyboard. I really enjoy typing on it compared to all of the flat keyboards I am used to like the standard Mac one. I also really like having the extra keys on the right that help me get to the beginning and end of lines when I am coding!
I got this with the blue switches as the brown were out of stock, but they are too clicky and loud for my liking in my home setup, so I bought some 3rd party white silent switches and it works very nicely now. I can smack the keys without causing a load of noise! Winner winner.

It took ages for this keyboard to get delivered to my doorstep but I started using it the moment I got my hands on it.
I've been using a C1 (brown switch, white backlight) for some time and wanted to buy a retro-looking blue switch keyboard.
Personally, I like this retro C1 way more than my white backlight brown switch C1. It looks and sounds like a keyboard from the 90s (exactly what I wanted), and typing on it is an absolute delight!
Another thing I've noticed is that the keycaps on this retro keyboard are a bit different and less slippery, which adds to the overall typing experience.
I hate the fact that it takes Keychron over 2 weeks to deliver to the UK but regardless of that, I will definitely order more from Keychron in the future.

Have been really enjoying using this keyboard. Very solid base. Keys (brown) are just the right amount of click and noise. Fingers never landing in the wrong places. Love the beige retro styling, Just wish there was a UK layout of caps set for it.

The keyboard is really nice and great, I love the sound. But no one mentioned that I will ship from China, It took around 12 days.
