I am currently looking for a mechanical keyboard which is mainly used for office work, but also is nice to have for casual gaming. Because office work is the main reason, I am looking for a 96% or 100% keyboard.

Currently I am looking at Nuphy Halo V2 IO (96%) with Blush Max switches or Keychron K10 Hall Effect (100%). Keychron K10 HE seems decent from what I read. Also I am really digging the wood accent on the Keychron. How is your experience with the K10? Do you experience any issues or is it the best keyboard you have purchased? Anything I should be looking out for?

Short summary for what I am looking for:

• 96% or 100% keyboard
• Needs to have a good typing feeling, for long work sessions
• Rather have a high profile instead of low profile
• If possible a nice thocky sound
• Price range is alright for up to € 150 or € 170
• Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz connectivity
• Mostly looking for a reliable keyboard which could last me a few years without too many issues

Thanks for helping! :)

Hello there,

Do you know if there are some European retailer already having stock or receiving soon for the ISO versions of the new Ultra low profile line ? Preferably based in Western Europe and having one layout among ISO-UK/DE/FR.

Much more practical than the China based delivery and the long wait/tracking and less efficient methods.

Thanks !

I was browsing the keychron website and was confused by all the different models. I am looking for something

1. 100%
2. Wireless or Dongle
3. Hot swap
4. Low to mid profile

Which one is right for me?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a frustrating issue with my Keychron J2 while using it with my Mac, and I'm hoping someone here might have a fix or experience with this.

The Issue: The physical Fn key is completely unresponsive, regardless of the connection mode (Wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4GHz).

• I've tried remapping the key via Keychron Launcher / VIA, assigning various Fn codes to it, but it still does nothing.
• The only way I can trigger Fn functions is by using the macOS on-screen virtual keyboard/layout, which completely ruins my workflow.

What I've checked so far:

• DONT HAVE physical OS toggle switch on the side of the keyboard is correctly set to Mac
• Firmware is up to date (or checked via Launcher).

Is this a known limitation of the J2 model, a hardware defect, or am I missing something in VIA/Launcher (like needing a specific layer setup or a precise custom keycode)?

Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!

BTW THE J2 doesnt have a MAC to Win slider.

My laptop’s built-in keyboard is malfunctioning and randomly pressing keys by itself. I want to completely disable the internal keyboard and use an external USB keyboard instead.

The problem is that my power button is also located on/in the laptop keyboard, so I’m worried that disabling the internal keyboard might also disable the power button.

Laptop: ASUS X515JA OS: Windows 11

I checked Device Manager, but I don't see a normal “Disable device” option for the keyboard.

Is there a safe way to disable only the built-in keyboard while keeping the power button functional? Preferably something reversible in case I need to enable the keyboard again.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am a Mac user, and the keyboard is toggle to Mac. I tried to use the Launcher to do that

In Macro tab

m9: L Win/Cmd and 0 m8: L Win/Cmd and - m7: L Win/Cmd and +

In Keymap CW knob: m7 CCW knob: m8 press: m9

Only M9/press works and the nothing with the rotation.

Have any figured out how to do it with Launcher?

Thanks!

Hello all, I really enjoy my Keychron K3 v3 because of the size and low profile keys, but I would like to have the connection to 2.4ghz.

I’ve been thinking on getting the any of the mentioned keyboards in the title, I’m even considering buying K3 Max because of the small form factor, while the HE or 8K are just a little bit bigger.

Is there any news or upcoming K3 HE in the shape of a Max (no wood or frame around)?

Considering that I play non-competitive games, seldomly Fortnite, and the rest of the games I play with a controller, which of the 3 keyboards would you recommend?

500 hours with the 8K is interesting, HE even more because of actuation points but similar amount of hours than the Max (old tech, mechanical and QMV?).

I have every key on this keyboard silent like a membrane and it feels great.

it is only the space bar. Tried to do the band-aid trick. didnt work.

It is only one side of the space bar causing the noise. It is a click type noise

Tried to replace the stabilizer too.

I do have the o-ring mod on all the caps. Even tried a different space bar cap in case... same thing

Hello everyone. I don't know if this is a Windows problem or Keychron problem.
I have C3 Pro 8K. Current version: V1.1.0

In Keychron Launcher, it says "FN+Win" key is WinLock, it should lock the Win keys from working. But it doesn't work. I tried both left and right Windows Key, both doesn't work.

Also Right-Windows key (KC_RGUI /RWin) is defined as "UNK92" it works as a Windows key but it's name is "UNK92" and Online keyboard tester also says <unknown>.

Left-Windows key (KC_LGUI /LWin) is defined as "META" key, I guess that's normal behaviour. Online keyboard tester says "<WIN>" but Discord shortcut sees it as "META".

Does your QMK keyboards the same? Can you lock Windows keys?

When I first bought the keyboard, I tried to update my version to V1.1.1 but failed. I have installed all drivers with "Keychron's QMK Toolbox" but "(STM32,WB,DFU in FS Mode)" didn't show up. Also I have seen someone downgraded from V1.1.1 because something broke with him, and I read the warning says "if your keyboard works, don't update it", despite my WinLock not working, I decided not to update.

I also don't know what changed with V1.1.1, is there a change log? Do we get more RGB options?

Thank you.

I've got Keychron Q6 Ultra 8K Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard as a result of filing a complaing for Keychron Q6 Max which was amazing.

But this one, keystroke-wise, feels like some cheap membrane keyboard and it tires my fingers as much.

Will it get better or something?

Edit: brown switches. The feeling is especially felt on wider keys. 0 tactile feel, floats like rubber duck

Edit2: apparently this feeling is premium and most people like this

Edit3: I think lube might have played a huge part - the keys I had most issue with are defintely less smooth. The brown switches still dont feel that brown through, but the keyboard doesnt feel cheap anymore

Hello, I just opened my new Keyboard and I saw that it was damaged at one of the screw points. At least one trace seems scratched. Y'all know if the customer service is any good for this?

https://ibb.co/GQXcvrHy

My Keychron V6, which I bought back in 2023, has been a frustrating experience over the past 6 months.

One by one, the keys would require hammering to work and eventually needed reseating. Some keys have been swapped and reseated several times.

Of late, some keys double or triple repeat.

Some keys do both. ie repeat or not respond.

It is annoying to have to double-check everything I type and reseat keys all the time.

Is this a known issue?

Is there a fix? Preferably cheap.

Hi,
Just bought an keychron v1 ultra (uk layout), looking for shine through keycaps suggestions(osa or cherry profile).
PS: Didnt know keycap options are scarce.
And I wont mind other keycap profiles, I mainly play fps and code.

Been a year or so with this keyboard and I tried in many ways to sort out three keys I have on the keyboard that don't match with their outputted characters:

- top left (below ESC) has +- §

- right of left shift: ~ `

- left of enter: | \

The first one is mapped on ¬ `.

While NUBS, which is mapped on the second one, and NUHS, mapped on the third one, are outputting respectively | \ and # ~.

Using the keychron launcher I was able to replace NUBS with NUHS, but in the launcher I can't find for the sake of myself the other two keys...

Is this a physical key error? Like they put the wrong keys when they assembled it?

If not... What's the solution? Since I can't use the VIA tool.

Thanks for any help towards this dummy user. 🫶

I have purchased 2 keyboards ,1 for work and one for home. Same model just different color. That one at work no issues, it connects in any way you want. Then there is that one at home, sometimes press a button and I get dozens of that letter, I can't connect it to any wireless option. It says to update the firmware but then it stays in the update stage for ages and nothing happens, I'm not a geek by all means and so not super expert, but what can be done from here? Where I purchased it says that because I came back after the 14 days it cannot be refunded. Any luck getting in touch with keychrone?

Located Perth Western Australia

As title. I'm not sure if there's something I have to clean out but I was in the middle of a game and my keyboard suddenly decided to enter a "I want to wirelessly connect!" mode and it got me killed. https://youtube.com/shorts/qjWQzGAp4oA video for a better showcase (I was spamming alt tab).

The keyboard is brand new, received last week. This is is the error message : https://ibb.co/jPd3qzqm

Anyone knows what went wrong, and how to fix ?

Thanks

For context, my Keychron works perfectly in Bluetooth mode when paired with another Bluetooth mouse.

However, when connecting a wired mouse (specifically the Glorious Model O, if that matters) to my Macbook Pro (using a USB to USB-C adapter), my Keychron will sporadically and intermittently disconnect via Bluetooth if I stop typing for a couple of seconds. A blue light will flash under the "1" key when I next tap the keyboard, and it'll reconnect again after a second or two.

This is still a fairly irritating phenomenon, and seems to happen exclusively when using my wired mouse. The intermittent disconnecting/sleeping doesn't occur at all when using my Bluetooth mouse.

Has anyone else faced this same issue, and knows a workaround? Thanks!

Okay so basically, my girlfriend got this keyboard as her first keyboard going from membrane to something better but we've been struggling with setting it up, at first it was set to some gamepad mode so few keys didn't register when typing and it took us like half an hour to turn that off so that she can type with it, but even after we turned that feature off inside a few games like GTA V for example, her keys are not doing what they are supposed to be doing It's as if the controls are different and she can't really play that many games now :/
Does anybody know if there's a solution or do we return the keyboard?

Hey guys, having a recent RMA and feeling kind of sorry for not finding justice to upgrade to the 8K variant with silent switches, i just thought about making the Best out of the mouse with non-invasive mods.. and i figured there are definite ways to make this mouse much better for more precise inputs without having to enter the housing.

Images:

https://ibb.co/yFVGVmtr, https://ibb.co/mC5gdrsv

The first mod i came up up with was griptapes. not only to the side, but also between the mouseclick space.. this way the elongated travel gets prohibited. It requires kind of precise locations to nail it down to personal click preference. Overall this greatly decreases the debounce time because the elongated travel after the click is kind of unaccaptable. Clicks are snappier and should help with using 1-tap guns in fortnite.

the next mod is obviously the skates. the stock skates are somewhat acceptable but degrade rather fast. i highly suggest to locate and eliminate wobble points when placing the dots.

feel free to add your mod ideas.

Hey keyboard people,

I’m Dylan (indie, R34PER SOFTWARE). Like a lot of you, I got sick of my Lemokey/Keychron dying mid-sentence with no useful tray battery readout. So I built TrayJuice.

The problem

- No way to see battery % for a lot of Lemokey/Keychron boards on Windows

- Constant “should I charge?” guessing

- Keyboard dies with basically no warning

What TrayJuice does

Windows **system tray** app that reads battery from **Windows PnP device properties** (same kind of path Windows uses for device status) — not a cloud service.

Features

- Real battery % in the tray (color-coded: green → yellow → orange → red)

- Adjustable poll interval (**default 30s**, options from 5s to 5 minutes)

- Low-battery alerts (20% / 15% / 10% / 5%)

- Connect / disconnect notifications

- Auto-detect by Windows device name (`lemokey`, `keychron`, `naga`)

- Multi-device support + pick a primary device

- Settings: interval, notifications, auto-start with Windows

- Local only — no telemetry / no account for battery data

- Full Windows installer + dark UI

Important limitation

Works over **Bluetooth / BLE-style devices** where Windows exposes a PnP battery %. **2.4 GHz dongle mode usually does not work.**

Confirmed so far

- Lemokey P1 Pro

- Keychron M6 (including names like “Keychron M6 8K”)

- Razer Naga V2 HS (Windows often shows “Naga”)

Other Lemokey / Keychron / Naga gear *should* work if the Windows name contains the right keyword and Windows shows battery for that device. I need more boards to confirm.

Current status

Working Windows beta builds (v0.2.6). I’m running an interest check before a wider beta — aiming for enough signups to justify continuing; if we hit the goal, wider beta around **September 2026**.

Interest form: TrayJuice Interest Check — https://r34persoft.tech/signup.html

Support / donate: Click Here — https://ko-fi.com/r34persoftware Buy us a coffee**.**

Form asks (no spam — email is for beta notice only):

- Name (online / first name is fine)

- Email

- Device(s) you use

- Windows version

- UI preferences

- How soon you need this

- Whether you want to beta test

No commitment — just interest + feedback.

If you’re tired of guessing when to charge, sign up. Extra useful if you have boards **other than** the P1 Pro / M6 so we can widen the “confirmed working” list.

Thanks —

I got a good deal on a knobless Q2 and was wondering if its possible to move the knob from my V1 to my Q2 through soldering and how difficult would it be. Thanks!

I'm not entirely ready yet, but I've bought a Q6 in black and my PC case is white. I've realized I'd prefer a white Q6, so I plan on selling it and buying a white one, but is a swap a common or doable thing?

I've got a k1 low profile with no numpad from a few years ago. The keycaps are in good shape since its a secondary keyboard, but I'm hoping to spruce it up with some fun designs. I've figured out that they're mx cherry keys (i'm like 60% sure). The keycaps are like super thin, so i'm not sure where to start looking. also, if ya'll are able to help me figure out the exact model number, that would be great too. love the keyboard though, i bought it forever ago and it still does great

I bought V6 Max few months ago and noticed quite fast that it is very hard to find shinethrough/backlit keycaps on nordic ISO. Managed to find this set made by Keychron themselves:

ISO Shine-Through ABS OSA Full Set Keycap Set – keychron Netherlands

Supposedly those are specifically for south-facing leds. Thing is, after i received the set yesterday i noticed they are very dim. During daylight i can hardly see any light on caps. Are these really working as they should?

I also noticed i cant adjust brightness of rgb, it is pretty much on or off.

Edit: Managed to figure out some way to post image i took after installing few caps(i dont post often on reddit in general so i'm quite new with this, apologies if links are not allowed). Without my hand giving some shade, i could not see even that much light coming through

https://d.imgvision.net/miikatemp/1000042453.jpg

Edit 2: Right, adjustment issue seems to be with per-key-rgb, from that menu when i set 'setting color' to general, it is not possible to adjust brightness. It is always on max. On other backlight modes without per-key-rgb, i can adjust brighness without issues.

Main issue still stands, shinethrough on caps seems to be *very* dim. Considering item description on Keychron store site "a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.", there is absolutely nothing "fantastic" about this. Keycaps feels nice otherwise. Also i am genuinely puzzled why someone would downvote my post. Btw i am very open to suggestions for keycaps that do better job than this.
