Best keyboard for writers/programmers and heavy creative users

I was using previous version, and lot of many other keyboards (just last 3 years: Logitech MX, Steelseries Apex 7, Cherry MX), but this new Keychron SE is so much better in every possible way. Better overall manufacturing quality, better case, better keycaps, additional rubber feet and even keyboard dust cover included! And these Gateron low profile brown switches are wonderful for writing! Also, I'm glad that this keyboard does not need any software. Mostly, such control apps are useless and even malicious for computer resources and privacy (Steelseries GG and Logitech G hub are the worst apps I have ever used).

Great Keyboard!

First of I had been looking for a low profile keyboard that I can game and type into. Unfortunately some of those low profile once are damn expensive yet easy to get because they are available out in the market.. I`d been doing my research a lot and arrive into this one, the Keychron K1 SE meets my demand in many ways.. low profile, price is good, mechanical switch, RGB/non-RGB, anti-slip keycaps, sturdy build, wireless/wired, can switch to mac and windows (really nice additional feature) replaceable keycaps, cable is braided, a good amount of height for the keyboard, responsive, easy pairing and a minimalistic look. there are also things that I do not like about this keyboard (of course it`ll never be perfect), for typing if your fingers are kinda oily you`ll see a lot of smudges, the brightness needs to be adjusted and can be brighter, no software features, the SE version does not have a battery indicator while using wireless mode.

All in all I am satisfied even with those less features, I said, but not all keyboards are perfect, there will always be a trade of about something, even the other well known brand theirs not perfect either. This keyboard is literally perfect for typing, you can also game on it but maybe not that so much bound into the keyboard. The shipping was fast enough coming from international location, I do recommend this keyboard and it is really nice I`d been also looking into switching to the TKL version of the keyboard. I do believe that I found the keyboard I want to keep, but still I`ll be keeping my old ASUS mech keyboard in case something bad happens into this one and hopefully not!

Great product! I am satisfied and hopefully making another purchase with the most up to date with the latest of the keyboard. Thank you Keychron!

Currently my favorite keys on the market

I picked up a Q3 and a K1 SE at the same time, recognizing that they couldn't be further from one another in design.
Switches tested: KeyChron Optical Banana
Platform tested: Windows 10, via USB-C and Bluetooth
Compared against: Corsair K70 v2 Low Profile (Cherry MX Speed), KeyChron Q3, several other mechanical boards.

PRO:
-featureset. Hot swap keys, RGB backlighting, light-through keycaps.
-super low profile. Lowest of any low-profile keyboard I've used. Short keys, with short travel.
-stability! Keys don't wiggle or sag, very consistent feel from one switch to the next. Board is very rigid, no significant flex.
-weight! It's super light! this would be an excellent travel mech board, but it's an 80% layout so nearly fullsize in every way.
-Regarding the Banana switches: the feel is just delightfully different. I've likened it to the well-tuned trigger of a gun. almost zero pre-travel. Firm bump where you can tell if you press any harder, you'll actuate the switch. And then a satisfying give when you push just hard enough. Firm at the bottom of the travel, if you bottom out (which is easy to do with such a short travel).

CON:
-no configuration software. Keyboard will work for you, or won't. but there is (at time of writing) no way to reprogram the function of a given key.
-RGB modes are preset, not customizable. When using colors, they can be assigned to the entire board but not to individual keys. If you wanted to make the modifiers blue and the main keys white, that's no possible.
-proprietary key switches, hopefully they will remain available and inexpensive (so far so good! Love 'em!) but who knows where we will be in 5+ years.

Overall, I love the K1 SE. I've recommended it to friends.

IDEAS FOR FUTURE PRODUCTS:
-K1 SE with a matching touchpad beside? That way this board could be used from a couch or a bed, giving a presentation, etc. Since it's wireless, it has that freedom, but needing a mouse in addition is still a bummer. I'm picking like the Logitech K400 but using mechanical switches. I think it would rule. Maybe consider this, KeyChron? <3

Perfect keyboard

I waited a very long time for this to get back in stock, but the keyboard is totally worth it. Love everything about it. I got the optical banana switches and the typing feel is perfect. I own a set of the optical brown switches and it feels pretty close. I am a total fan of Keychron low profile especially with Mac's.

9.5/10 nearly the perfect keyboard

I love this keyboard, the best I've ever used (and I have too many mechanical keyboards).

Pros:

The typing feel of the Keychron optical mechanical switches are perfect - fast, smooth, and quiet. They don't need any silicone grease like many other mechanical switches do to feel this smooth.

The TKL layout of the K1 SE is perfect. I find the popular 75% size a bit too small where the function keys are too close to the keys you will type with resulting in some mistakes, no issues like that with the TKL. The little bit of extra size is just great for typing.

Its awesome for gaming having such quick and responsive keys.

Bluetooth 5.1 with great battery life, and USB-C connectivity all works great.

The low profile is fantastic because it doesn't hurt my wrist without a big pad like the larger mechanicals do. There never going back to full height mechanical keyboards for me.

The low profile and minimalist design looks amazing, there is no wasted space here.

Cons:

The only negative is the keycaps, which are very smooth. If they had a slight texture to them it would feel better typing and gaming. For example, if they were upgraded to a higher quality PBT material, then this would be the absolute perfect keyboard. Hopefully this can be offered as an option or to buy seperately some day.

What's the difference between the K1 SE and the K1:

#1. K1 SE is engineered with reinforced aluminum top case plus plastic bottom case while K1 is constructed with full aluminum body structure.
#2. Added low profile Gateron mechanical hot-swappable version switch.
 #3. Armed with two level adjustable rubber feet to provide ergonomic support.

KEYCHRON K1 SE

AN ULTRA-SLIM TENKEYLESS WIRELESS MECHANICAL KEYBOARD

Incorporating the hot-swappable low profile Optical switches and Gateron switches (hot-swappable) version offers the freedom to personalize your typing experience with ease, together with all signature Keychron features.

FEATURES

ULTRA-SLIM

K1 SE optimizes finger travel and provides satisfying typing experience with the redesigned low profile switch is 40% slimmer than conventional switches.

Constructed with the streamlined and reinforced aluminum frame, K1 SE is ready to bring an unmatched and dedicated typing comfortability. 

WIRELESS AND WIRED

Featuring Bluetooth 5.1, the K1 SE offers flawless connectivity whether you’re working at home or the office while connecting with your phone, laptop and iPad, plus a type-c cable for optimal connectivity and compatibility. 

ERGONOMIC ANGLE DESIGN

Two level adjustable rubber feet makes the K1 SE more comfortable to type on.

COMPATIBLE WITH ALL DEVICES

K1 SE is compatible with all from Mac to Android to Windows. Just a slide of a button on the side panel, you can switch between the various operating systems as easy as pie, and connects up to 3 devices via Bluetooth.

K1 SE LAYOUT

Suitable for both macOS and Windows. Keychron is one of only a few in the market that comes with a Mac multimedia keys layout for Mac enthusiasts (Check high-res keycap layout and size). 

HOT-SWAPPABLE

You can easily hot-swap every Optical switch or Gateron switch (hot-swappable) version in a few seconds to customize your typing experience on the K1 SE without soldering.

*Hot-swappable feature is available for low profile Keychron Optical switch and low profile Gateron Mechanical (Hot-swappable) versions only. *Low Profile Keychron Optical and Low Profile Gateron mechanical version keyboards are NOT compatible with any normal profile mx style mechanical switch.

Mechanical Or Optical?

Available in Gateron mechanical and Keychron optical low profile switch to elevate the typing experience with a more slimmer and subtle look, the K1 SE provides an excellent typing performance, whether you prefer linear (Red), clicky (Blue), or something in between (Brown, Banana, Mint).

Low-Profile Mechanical

Durable and ultra-slim low profile Gateron Mechanical switch with a 50 million keystroke lifespan to provide an unrivaled tactile responsiveness. K1 SE was designed to boost your productivity yet meets your desktop aesthetics perfectly. Classic clicky tactile or quicker response, for office or personal gaming, the Gateron low profile is the way to choose.

Low-Profile Optical

With the MX-styled stem housing and 0.2 ms ultra-low latency, these light actuated switches are crafted for typists or gamers who want to type at lightning speed with a 70 million lifespan much greater than industry standards.

The Banana and Mint switches comes with an early tactile bump of every downstroke like those Panda switches, that’s the main difference between the Banana/Mint and the Brown switch. More add-on switches here.

SLIM YET DURABLE

The aircraft-grade reinforced aluminum frame as a pillar to make the K1 SE durable yet elegantly slim. A SGCC galvanized steel plate is added to the plastic bottom frame in order to strengthen the K1 SE's body structure, while still maintaining a stable wireless transmission capability of the K1 SE.

MX SYLE STEM

We developed an MX-style stem on the K1 SE's low-profile switches as well as stabilizers on the big keys (e.g.: space bar, left Shift, backspace, and Enter key) in an attempt to revamp the reliability. Read more.

18 Types of RGB Backlit

A bright and bling RGB keyboard with 4 adjustable levels plus more than 18 different color effects. You can alter the color and the brightness correspond to your mood or setting.
