Comfortable, full keyboard
Pros:1. Full size layout with number pad2. Stiff, comes with both mac and windows key layouts (would be nice to have a linux specific option)3. The switches require a good amount of force to actuate and create a better typing feel than the flat chicklet style keys that are standard with modern macs.4. Comes with a good quality usb-c cable with adapter.5. Unlike some mechanical keyboards it doesn't have industrial design to make it look like transformer vomit. No stupid RGB.6. I know this is sold as a "retro design", but I would really just see it as an "understated" design. it isn't trying too hard to look exactly like a model M, or something it isn't. I could see this sitting on my desk at work for a few years without annoying me too much, and just letting me type.Cons:1. No scroll lock key appears to be non-standard.2. Likewise, no indicator light for scroll lock. I realize that scroll lock is rarely used, and even antiquated, but when you need it, you need it.3. The key switches are a quieter kind. While this is nice for an office environment where you don't want people to be irritated by your typing sounds, it doesn't have the same satisyfying "click" that some keyboards have. This is subjective, and some may prefer this key feel

FANTASTIC keyboard! Feels good, works great, and looks like a classic!
LOVE this keyboard! My son and I re-purposed an old Mac Classic from 1991 that was DOA. We turned it into a mini-PC (running Widoze for ease of use)...and wanted the "Mac Classic" look and feel. This keyboard was far and away cheaper than some clones online and still looks the part. It clicks and clacks comfortably just like keyboards of old and is feature rich with changeable keys, a key puller, and USB-C connectivity. I highly-recommend this for everything from nostalgia to just plain daily use!

Great-looking retro keyboard
The first thing I noticed about this keyboard is the quality. Hefty, and can tell quality plastics were used. It can function on either Windows or MacOS at the flip of a switch and comes with spare function keys so that you can adapt it for the system you use. Great product at a great price!

Nice keyboard!
Nice keyboard! I wanted to really like this. I love the color and the layout. It's amazing that it includes "ALT" and "windows" keys for windows layouts, and "Option" and "Command" keys for Mac layouts. There's also a switch that enables you to switch between Mac and Windows layout (which have the alt/windows keys swapped with command/option.) The brown key switches are really nice too. I am a huge fan of the cherry MX red switches but they're extremely noisy for a corporate environment. The brown switches are not quite as precise, but it's a nice balance to keep your office mates happy. There's enough feedback to type well. There's no distinctive click, more of a muted keypress sound, which is decent.Unfortunately these seem to use some proprietary drivers which are blocked by my corporate computer policy. I had to return the wired USB version and order a bluetooth version to get it to work with my computer.,

I love this keyboard!
I just can't deal with the iMac wireless flat keyboard thingies they call a keyboard. This keyboard is just your basic "click" keyboard and it works flawlessly. I'm old as dirt and I just have to have a click keyboard. Now, if you are using this on a Mac (which I am) you gotta get used to which keys map to which keys on the Mac keyboard for the special functions, but its not that big of a deal. I HATE Windows (but ironically am a MCSE - another life), but I use this on my Windows box too, which I only run because I ArcGIS won't run on a Mac. Use one on my Linux box as well. It works flawlessly across all platforms. Can't ask for more. I have been using this keyboard for literally years with zero issues. It is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality. It is NOT a cheap feeling keyboard. I'm kinda hung up on full size too. Guess different folks have different ideas of what is a great keyboard. If you are looking for a quality, clicky, full size keyboard this one is great. Just be aware it is wired, and you gotta get used to where things map on a Mac.

Love this Keyboard!
I bought this keyboard to use with my MacBook and and very happy that I did. It works flawlessly and the feeling of typing is perfect for what I was after, I liked the look of this retro color version of the Keychron C1 and C2 but I opted for the C2 because I wanted a full size keyboard. It is non-backlit which I don’t mind but I know isn’t for everybody. This keyboard is well constructed and sturdy, it’s wired so I never have to worry about charging it, and it being non-backlight means it won’t drain my laptop battery too much or too quickly to use it. It’s simple but feels great and looks cool in my opinion, I’m very happy with this purchase. This is my first Keychron keyboard and so far I am a fan of their products. I would recommend this to anybody that just wants a nice typing experience with no frills. I chose the Keychron Red switches and I am happy with them, not too clicks or too loud, but just right.

Worked for 3 months, then keys stopped working
Worked well for about 3 months then intermittently key presses began failing to register. Primarily the “L” key in my case but occasionally other keys too.Removed the key cap and cleaned around the switch.Very annoying having to retype almost every second word that you type.Purchased this unlit keyboard to rule out dying LEDs and was hoping for a solid reliable mechanical keyboard.I may just have to go back to standard non-mechanical keyboards since I have used some of those for years without issue. Go figure.
