If you’re familiar with the keyboard layout used by most laptops, then you’ll immediately feel at home with the Keychron K3’s so-called “75 percent” keyboard layout. Keychron tells me a version of the keyboard with a UK ISO layout will release in July. I primarily used Keychron’s brown optical switches during my time with the K3, but I switched to its stiff clicky orange switches for a few days to see what they were like. My model came with a US ANSI layout with RGB backlighting. That’s a good amount of options, and Keychron is currently selling sets of these for $19 (regular price $25). Varieties of these optical switches include linear (white, red, or black), tactile (brown), or clicky (blue or orange) switches. Keychron claims these optical switches are more responsive and durable, but more important is that, unlike the Gaterons, they’re hot-swappable, meaning you can remove and replace them without having to do any soldering. In terms of switches, you have the choice of a set of low-profile switches made by Gateron or a set of Keychron’s hot-swappable optical switches. The Keychron K3 is available with either a white backlight for $74 or an RGB backlight for $84.
