Quality, customizable, quiet
Great keyboard. The layout saves spaces but preserves the most important keys. I was skeptical of the web-based "Via" software, but it works and is easy to customize. The keys don't wobble as you type and have a satisfying "thok" without much noise. Metal base is heavy so the keyboard stays in place. The wired version is fine for me. Comes with useful accessories: USB-C to A converter, key puller, screwdriver, keys for Win and Mac, etc. Worth the money. Don't cheap out on your keyboard.

Poca durabilidad
Llevo un año con el teclado y ya dejaron de funcionar varias teclas, hasta cuidándolo del polvo, limpiándolo con aire comprimido, etc. Mejor un Logitech de 300 pesos.

Better than I thought it would be
TLDR: If you don't have a mechanical keyboard, or are just looking to try this brand, I think this is a fantastic $100 keyboard that doesn't have gamer aesthetics. It's now my new daily driver at work, winning out over a lot of other keyboards. If I were looking for a more gaming-oriented keyboard in this price range, I'd go for the G613 by Logitech.In general: the build construction is very good and very solid. It's actually quite heavy. The K Pro Red switches are incredibly smooth; maybe more so than my Cherry Reds. The thok tone is slightly different, the volume is lower (I think the keyboard housing is at least half of this), and the actuation distance seems shorter, but I haven't looked up the documented travel of these and the Cherry's. This is just how it feels back to back with my K75 that has Cherry Reds. The space bar has a very unique sound, and the keys have far less slop than my K75. Overall, I like these more than the Cherry Reds. The keycaps are the double shots and feel great. This kind of reminds me of my old G810 Logitech with the Romer Gs, which I think are excellent switches.PC > Mac switching is just a toggle on the back and works as intended. Extra PC labeled keycaps are included, but it shipped with the Mac keycaps installed from the factory.Something to note: the RGB doesn't pass through the keycaps - it's under the keys and can be seen around the edges, but the keys are not illuminated.No regrets here. No idea how long-term reliability is going to be, since I'm new to this brand, but we'll see.

After test-driving literally 10 keyboards -- this was my pick
At age 47, I grew up with full-sized keyboards. I used them in school, at home and in my first job. In recent years, I have gotten used to a MacBook, laptop keyboard. Now that I have a hub and monitor for my laptop, I wanted to get a mechanical keyboard.CRITERIA: One of the most important things to me was that the arrow keys had space around them, because I use the all the time, by feel. Many keyboards have these shoved within all the other keys, and no difference. I originally thought I wanted a 75% keyboard, which had the most options for offset arrow keys. I also wanted a delete key in the upper right, because I use that all the time. Again, without looking. Upon test-driving many keyboards, I realized that I also wished i had an enter key in the lower right, like in a full-sized keyboard. That said, I didn't want a FULL sized keyboard, with too much space around the arrow keys.WHY THIS ONE: This layout was the best of all worlds for me. It has offset arrow-keys (just enough to separate.) It has my enter and delete keys on the outer edges. It has a knob (a like to have, not MUST to have. Of all the keyboard brands I'd tried, Keychron was consistently high quality, without any bugs or issues. In my search, I'd also tried many different switches. I found BROWN were perfect for me. I wanted some tactile feel, but without extra "thock" or whatever the kids are calling it these days. I thought I might like blues, but found them to be too clicky -- meaning there was an extra, fake click, that felt like clipping a playing card in your bike spokes to sound like a motorcycle. Brown feels right. Feels old school. Feels solid and is not too noisy.I thought I might like the Keychron K8 or K8 Pro. I didn't like the bezel around these. It created an extra lip that my fingers had to go up and over. I like how the V-series has no bezel. They're very comfortable. I ended up buying a V1 for home (essentially the same as the V5, but without the number pad) and a V5 for the office. Keychron also won-out because they have Mac keys.Lastly - I was originally hung up on wireless, but here's the thing. I work a hybrid situation. 2 days at home, 3 in the office. I never trust that my keyboard is fully charged, so I leave it plugged in all the time any way. Plus, even if I went wireless, I didn't want it failing in the middle of work, and having to dig out a cable, and find an empty USB slot. I found it easier to just admit to myself, I need wired, and will have to deal with that cable on my desk at all times.
