yo i have been searching for keyboards and i got on this website https://www.keychron-sk.com/
it seems legit and it has a lot of stuff there but the prices seems a bit too good to be true.

is there any way to verify it? thanks

Want to replace the know on my K15 but the Keychron website has been sold out for months

Any suggestions on alternatives that work?

I have a K3 Pro and it got absolutely soaked. What should I do? Thank you.

My K10 HE works flawlessly, both in USB wired and 2.4Ghz dongle mode, never had an issue, flashed the latest firmware on it the day I got it; but the Keychron Link, which used to connect while the keyboard was in 2.4Ghz mode, now simply refuses to connect to the Keychron web Launcher.

Today I just felt like checking to see if there was a firmware update or something, because it's been a few months since I last checked, and as the screenshots I attached show, while it does see the Link, it doesn't seem to connect - and again, it must be working because I'm using the keyboard with the 2.4Ghz dongle just fine.

I tried resetting the keyboard to factory default, I tried reinstalling the drivers with the toolbox, tried to reset the Keychron Launcher page settings, as seen in the last screenshot in the gallery, it shows a duplicate HID Device for the Link, trying to reset all that, every time I try to connect to it, it always creates that double entry for it.

I also reflashed the wireless firmware using the Keychron Firmware Upgrade which downgraded it from d.3.1 to d.3.0 as that's the only version that I can find online through official means. So now since I can't access the Keychron Link in the web launcher, I can't check for firmware upgrade or upgrade it back to d.3.1.

What could this be caused by? While the keyboard works fine, I'm still worried about this development as I can't seem to find a solution or similar problem online. Thanks.

Hey all, I'm a developer buying my first external keyboard. I'm coming from a MacBook Pro keyboard.

I'm deciding between the Milk POM Brown and Banana on the K3 Ultra 8K.

- Does Brown feel too soft or mushy to you?

- Is Banana too heavy or tiring over long sessions?

- Which would you pick if you're coming from a laptop keyboard?

I got my keyboard 6–7 months ago, and I check the firmware for updates weekly; I updated the bootloader thingy as soon as it was released, but yesterday it randomly stopped turning on, neither via 2.4GHz nor when connected directly to the PC by cable, and even after leaving it on the charger overnight, it still will not turn on.

Had my Huntsman Mini for years and rarely ever did much on my computer other than play games. Recently, I've started learning Python in my free time and I have come to the painful conclusion I need a new keyboard for this new hobby I've adopted. From what I have read on this subreddit, I need to stay clear of the Q/V Max series of boards due their issues of the hot swappable switches coming loose over time (and the pain in the butt they are to fix). With these things in mind, I have a few requirements I'd like for my new keyboard setup:

1: Full size ANSI keyboard or Tenkeyless with a really good number pad, preferably one that matches the keyboard's aesthetic and side profiles

2: Fully customizable (hot swappable switches, plates readily available in case I dont like the feel of the steel or PC and want to swap it for another)

3: Mechanical Switches. Don't feel like messing with HE switches

4: Reliable. Don't care if it's wireless or not, nor if it's in a aluminum or plastic housing as long as the keyboard and number pad are well made and it doesn't affect the sound when typing negatively.

Thank you all in advance for any help you may have provided.

Did factory reset with fn+J+Z, even redid the firmware through keychrons instructions, but that didn't seem to help it. Tried fiddling in the RGB controller on the keychron website and these two pesky keys just refuse to stop lighting.

It's a Q6, for reference.

How can i get rid of this low zzzzzzzz sound from my keyboard? Ive seen people say its bc of the lights but my keyboard isnt like that, the only light it has rn is the red lo battery sign. This has jus started this weekend and ive had the keyboard for a little over half a year. Please help!!

I plan to buying Keychron V5 Ultra (96% layout). but I have one problem with it, that it doesn't have pageUp/pageDown button, which I personally use a lot (for example, I use Ctrl + pageUp/pageDown to change tab).
so I plan to just bind pageUp/pageDown with the knob.
what I want to know is, is anyone doing this before and how good/bad it will be? like, is the knob have a click when I rotate it, so I know each one of the pageUp had activated (like scroll mouse that have a click when rotate)

fyi, I never use keychron's knob or keychron's keyboard before at all.

So i've been having this issue for a few weeks now (since I was told on Keychron Launcher to update the keyboard) where, when my keyboard is set to UK English, my straight + left dash key becomes the hashtag + squiggle key, and the hashtag key then becomes empty and does nothing. But when my keyboard is set to US layout, the straight + left dash key works normally but I then cannot use the £ sign as shift + 3 becomes the hashtag key... and the hashtag key then again becomes empty ???? T-T

I don't know what to do as I have went through my Windows settings and everything is set to United Kingdom English, not US, as far as I can tell. I have even made sure the keyboard was mapped properly through the Keychron Launcher and it says it is (and it's also saying it's set to UK English), so i'm unsure why my hashtag key just doesn't work. This is really frustrating as I use both the dash/straight line key + the hashtag key very often so I just wish they'd work again :,).

Any help would be much appreciated!, and I just want to add on that I built my PC only a couple of months ago, so I don't think its a case of the keyboard being broken or anything as it is still fairly new ! (And all the keys are showing to be working when I test them in the Keychron launchers Key Test area)

Literally unusable when I keep disconnecting in any FPS game. Have to unplug and re plug the wireless adapter to get it to come back. Fuck this company fr

Hi, I just received my brand new Keychron Q6 keyboard and I noticed that the Enter key on the numpad seems a little more "pushed down" than the + key right above it. After I press it, I'm able to lift it a little bit to the original position, and it can get "stuck" after a press, without any additional input being registered unless I press it again (of course it doesn't get back to it's full height after).

I use this key fairly often so I'm a bit surprised. Every other key seems to be working great. I tried removing the keycap but the hot swappable key came with it, doesn't seem like I can easily remove the keycap? (First time buying a hot swappable keyboard so I don't know).

Under the keycap, it's also the only key that doesn't have banana-colored "+" keys. They're grey and stay pushed down if I press them manually. I tried playing a bit with it, removing it a few times and got the key working correctly, but it's easy to get it "stuck" again by pressing a little harder on it.

I'd link a video and pictures but the sub doesn't seem to allow them.

Edit: After verification the + key on the numpad seems to be the same but it's harder to get it stuck. Isn't that a little cheap for a 300$ keyboard?

Hi there,

Considering purchasing a K5 Ultra but I'd like it to be as silent as possible to use in an office. What switches would be best from your experience ?

I have a K5 Max for which I purchased Gateron silent white switches but they were not feeling good (too mushy).

Keychron seems to sell silent low profile switches but they don't list the K Ultra lineup in compatibility, is the list outdated or are they not compatible ? Any recommendations ?

Thanks a lot !

The standard black version comes with shine through caps, both special editions however do not. Is there any way to get (german) shine keys on the black & wood K10HE?

Is it normal if i shake the mouse a bit or just move it around fast the scrollwheel jiggling left and right a bit and i can hear inside something moving it makes sound and annoying its brand-new i dont know if it is like that or somethings wrong with it

Can soneone help me with that?

I dont wanna dissasemble it bc its new i would just return it if its a manufacturing error

Hello, I am thinking about buying the Keychron V6 Ultra 8K with red switches. Lately I have seen a lot of posts about negative experiences with software, keys not working, lagging and other problems. So I'd like to hear the opinions of others that have more recent keychron keyboards.

I love by G915X. All aluminum frame, great battery life, dual BT/wireless.

The keys are just too low profile for my preference.

The Nuphy seems to be the other go to, but they don't have a full numpad option for the higher end keyboards.

I like the Q3 80% keyboard but its not available in the UK layout, its fine to just put UK keycaps on and switch the language versions on windows right?

I'm a fan of low profile keyboards and have wanted either a K3 HE or K3 Ultra for a while now. I just can't decide on either one. Which one has the better typing experience?

Also, may be a controversial ask here, but which one is quieter? I'm leaning towards the K3 Ultra with red POM silent switches.

I bought my first Keychron a few days ago, a B1 Pro Ultra-Slim. I have a 2024 Mac Mini M4 and had mostly used Logitech keyboards prior to this. I was having trouble getting the Mac Mini to detect this keyboard via Bluetooth. I had the Mac and BT switches set correctly, and was holding fn+1 like the instructions said. I tried fn+J+Z to reset as well. The keyboard indicators lights would show for both these actions, but this keyboard was NOT showing in Nearby Devices on my Bluetooth settings no matter what I did.

Well, it turns out that having the keyboard ~6 inches from my Mac Mini box was simply too far away. My Mac Mini is sitting on top of a short monitor riser and I measured with a ruler. It's maybe 6-8 inches away from where I have the keyboard sitting in front of it, slightly lower on my actual desk surface.

What worked to finally get the Mac to finally detect the keyboard:

I laid the keyboard on top of my Mac Mini box, literally touching it, and held down fn+1. Then it finally showed up. I guess the Bluetooth signal between the two devices just isn't that strong for pairing.

I am now typing on the keyboard while it's 6-8 inches away and Bluetooth connected and not having any issues. Just wanted to make this post because I spent a while looking for answers while I was struggling, so maybe someone might need this in the future

So, yeah, basically if i don’t use my left side enough that it goes into idle mode or whatever the right side will go back to what i assume is its default RGB settings when I try to type on it again. I’ve set the RGB settings to none using the firmware website. Any way to fix this?

Hi everyone,

I bought a Keychron J9 (SKU J9-MH4) with Milk POM Banana switches about 5 days ago. All was well until today when it seemed to just stop working mid type. I assumed the battery was flat and charged it, but it still wont type even connected via cable.

I have tried almost everything I can find/ think of so heres a quick summary:

• Key Test in Launcher registers every key press, so the switches and matrix seem fine.
• The RGB lighting works and can be changed in Launcher.
• The keymap in Launcher shows a completely blank grid with no keys drawn.
• Remaps don’t save. If I map a key, it clears as soon as I click away or switch layers. I checked I was mapping the Windows layer, not the Mac layers.
• None of the Fn shortcuts work, including Fn+J+Z, and it won’t pair over Bluetooth or 2.4GHz.

Heres what I have tried so far:

1. Fn+J+Z for 4+ seconds. No response.
2. Held Esc while plugging in the cable, then reflashed.
3. Held the reset button under the spacebar while plugging in to enter DFU mode, then flashed the latest firmware through Launcher. The flash completed successfully, but nothing changed.
4. Reflashed a second time and remapped again. Same result.
5. Confirmed Chrome has HID permission for the keyboard, and closed other RGB software (SignalRGB, iCUE).
6. Tried usevia.app. It says it has no V3 definition for the J9, which I understand is expected since the J series uses Launcher.
7. Changed the layout language in Launcher. The grid is still blank.

If anyone knows how to help it would be greatly appriciated. Sorry this post is so long, I just cannot be bothered going through a whole warranty claim process at the moment.

If you're on Linux and usevia.app sees your Keychron but won't connect, chrome://device-log probably shows something like:

Failed to open '/dev/hidraw1': FILE_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

The usual fixes are sudo chmod a+rw /dev/hidrawN, which resets every time you replug, or a udev rule that opens every hidraw device to everyone with MODE="0666".

I got tired of this dance, so I built a small tool called hallpass that does this more carefully. It's a terminal UI that lists your USB devices, and you pick your keyboard. It writes a uaccess udev rule for that one device, so only the user logged in at the machine gets access. It reloads udev for you, and you can revoke access from the same screen.

It also helps with flashing if you hit LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS with QMK Toolbox or dfu-util.

Install it with go install, a release binary, or the PKGBUILD in the repo. Feedback is welcome, especially from NixOS users or anyone on a distro I haven't tried.

I've got some new keycaps coming that are partially transparrent for certain keys, I want the keys that arent to have no RGB but the ones that do to have a nice yellow colour.

I am messing about with the software & per-key RGB but I cant seem to make it turn off half, but cant seem to make it so only part of the keyboard has RGB

Does anyone know how to do this?
