Keychron K3 Pro mechanical keyboard experience.

I have also used many types of mechanical keyboards, and found that the biggest problem is not how good the feel should be, how charming the typing sound should be, but the weight. Originally a keyboard that I liked very much, but it turned out to be too heavy. In the experience of mechanical keyboards in the past two years, this is the most annoying point.

In order to choose a keyboard that is thin enough and light enough, I finally fell in love with this one: Keychron K3 Pro. Regarding its use experience, I will share with you today.

1. Design

You can feel its compactness as soon as you get it, the packaging box is not big, and it is very light even without unpacking.

After opening, it is a very thin and light body. As for how compact the design is? You can take a look at the picture below, the Jiadalong short axis has been fitted to the edge of the frame. Although it looks very simple, the single visual effect is like the keycaps floating on the keyboard, with 22 kinds of lighting effects, this feeling is still very nice.

The back is a silicone fixed pad, ergonomic two-stage foot support, anodized aluminum frame body, and the weight is about 525g. When you want to place it anywhere, you can pick it up. The lightness is really praised.

2. Touch

The feeling of Jiadalong's short axis is also light when typing. Every press is not muddy, the hand feels very smooth, and the return order is clear. The sound is relatively quiet. The LSA height PBT keycap is designed with fingertip mechanics. The PBT material is greater than 40%. The wear resistance should be no problem, and this one is really very resistant to dirt.

It also has a new method of steel plate satellite axis, which can reduce the swing of the space bar, left shift, backspace key and Enter key, and the experience of using it is still very obvious. Of course, the hot-swappable DIY of the shaft body is also very convenient. It comes with two accessories plug-in tools, which are very convenient to use.

3. Connect

My computer is a Mac system. I have used many keyboards before and needed a receiver. The Keychron K3 Pro is directly connected to Bluetooth, which is much more convenient. At the same time, the Bluetooth wired dual-mode restores the Mac layout function multimedia keys, and one-key switching between Mac/Win.

There is also a very explosive function that it supports QMK/VIA open source, you can easily program and customize each function key, and customize the functions you think are the most convenient. QMK/VIA key customization function, the popular explanation is that you can make any key into the function you want, such as making the space into Enter, the top row into F1 and so on.

In this way, the productivity is greatly improved, and the result is twice the result with half the effort.

Finally, the wake-up experience is very fast. I saw that it is a new chip AT solution, and the delay is very low.

4. battery life

The battery capacity is 1550mAh. In normal usage scenarios, it can stand by for about 33 hours after charging for 4 hours. I personally think it is very good. If you want to save battery life, you can also turn off some keyboard lighting effects through shortcut keys.

In short, the Keychron K3 Pro is completely productivity-oriented, and does not need to be so fancy. Friends who like to use it quickly, efficiently, and lightly can take a look.
