The best choice for both attractive and office work, Keychron K3Pro Bluetooth ultra-thin mechanical keyboard experience

Keychron enjoys a good reputation and reputation overseas, and its appearance rate in China has also increased in recent years. Speaking of Keychron, in addition to the popular foreign key rings, the author's first perception is that it has both good price performance and good looks, and has good compatibility with Mac systems. This advantage is also the reason for its successful debut. Base.

Even without the Mac system, many mechanical keyboards under Keychron have good performance. For example, the K3Pro experienced by the landlord this time also brought many surprises. Although the host is not a Mac system user, whether it is used on Windows, IOS or Android devices, the wired/Bluetooth switch button of Keychron K3Pro can also be used to switch connections well.

Not much gossip, let's start with unpacking and experience what kind of experience this ultra-thin Bluetooth keyboard brings.

▼The black outer packaging is designed with laser fonts, which is a bit cool. It may be because the original packaging is mainly in the overseas market, and the whole body is in English. From the first moment I got the keyboard, I already felt its small size and light weight.

▼Let’s take a look at the family portrait in the box. In addition to the keyboard, the box is also equipped with a key puller, shaft puller, and a Chinese and English manual. You can get started in five minutes, and there is also an A to C power cord and replacement and spare keycaps for the Windows system.

The overall keyboard presents a black, white and gray color scheme, which is low-key and versatile. At the same time, the esc and erter keys are embellished with red keycaps, which makes the keyboard look less boring and adds a sense of visual impact. Coupled with the aluminum frame body design, the whole keyboard shows a smooth and flawless touch and a very delicate touch and visual experience. The first feeling of touching it is that it is moderately smooth, with a touch of fingertips in the silky smoothness.

▼Although it is an 84-key mechanical keyboard, it has a thickness comparable to that of a membrane keyboard. When the rear bracket is not supported, the height of the highest part of the rear is only 20mm, which is a little shorter than a one-yuan coin, and two-thirds of it is almost as high as a fifty-cent coin. And the entire keyboard weighs only a little over 500g, which is very suitable for office workers like me who travel frequently to carry it.

▼Keychron K3Pro adopts a 75% layout structure, which is very compact, a bit similar to the compactness of a notebook keyboard. This layout also greatly reduces the limitations of desktop use and increases the surplus space of the desktop, especially for the small study room and small desk of the landlord's home. If you work at home, then this can be regarded as a It's a sharp weapon.

▼This kind of compactness does not affect the feel of our daily use at all. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it can be tapped easily. Especially my wife and daughter, when they first entered the study and saw my keyboard, their first impression was "why is it so cute". As for me, as a big man, I don’t actually feel cute. I just think that its overall color matching is relatively coordinated, and it is also very durable and dirt-resistant.

▼The two-stage foot support supports a tilt angle of 6°-9°. There is actually no big difference in the height of the two gears, and they are relatively comfortable to use. In addition, there are four non-slip rubber pads on the back of the keyboard, which have a good fixing effect.

▼Keychron K3Pro supports Bluetooth and wired connection modes, which can be easily switched through the rear button, and the system can be selected at the same time.

▼Many people know that Keychron has strong compatibility with Mac systems, so the K3Pro keyboard is also equipped with a keycap layout suitable for Mac by default when it leaves the factory. Because the host’s notebook is a Windows system, the host used it immediately Put on the replacement keycaps in the original box, and replace the win key and alt key.

▼K3Pro adopts a full-key no punch design, and the PBT keycap with two-color injection molding process does not bring obvious plastic feeling. The PBT material content is ≥ 40%, which makes it more wear-resistant, and the landlord has used it for about a week. This process does have the characteristics of no oiling, dirt resistance and no fading. In addition, K3Pro is used with the newly designed steel plate satellite switch, which is mainly reflected in several large keys. This design keeps the keycap and the switch body at the same level, reducing the space, shift, backspace, enter and other large keys. swing.

▼The poster prefers the feel between green and red, so I chose the tea shaft, and the knocking feel takes into account both entertainment and office work. There are three types of K3Pro to choose from. In addition to the difference in lighting, the main difference is the fixed shaft or hot-swappable. The host chose the more stable hot-swappable type. In the future, all keys can also be replaced with your favorite shaft. , each part of the keyboard can be assembled by itself.

In terms of the shaft body, the K3Pro uses the Jiadalong short shaft. Compared with the traditional shaft body, the thickness is reduced by nearly 6mm, and the feel is smoother and more accurate. Compared with the short switch of the old generation, it has also upgraded the stroke and improved the feel of the buttons. When used with the tea switch, the sound is moderate or weak, with a certain sense of feedback but no noisy sound.

▼The hot-swappable premium model has 22 kinds of RGB lights, which can be switched independently, which is more suitable for my kind of light control. Compared with the backlight of the mechanical keyboard used by the landlord, its light is relatively soft even if the brightness is the brightest. After all, it is a Bluetooth keyboard with a 1550mAh battery. This configuration can also provide relatively better battery life. The existence of lights can not only reduce the dullness in the office, but also provide a better sense of atmosphere when switching to the entertainment mode outside.

▼There is a "light bulb button" in the upper right corner of the keyboard, which can quickly switch the light. In addition, through the combination of Fn and several specific letter keys, you can quickly adjust the light intensity and light mode, which is very convenient. The lighting modes are also very rich, including breathing lights and running water lights. In addition, the lighting effects can be quickly turned off through quick operations.

▼K3Pro can adapt to 3 machines at the same time, whether it is on a notebook, a tablet or a mobile phone, it can be switched freely through the Fn button, which is very flexible. When holding a meeting, even if you just bring such a keyboard and take out your mobile phone, you can take meeting minutes, which is also very convenient. The actual typing response speed is relatively fast, and there is no intermittent situation. In addition, Keychron's keyboard can also adjust the keyboard layout, key position modification, macro settings, etc. through the official website download software, which provides a good match for the user's own preferences.

In general, such an ultra-thin Bluetooth mechanical keyboard with a price of 400-500 yuan still brings a different experience to the owner, and has a good price/performance ratio. No matter what system it is for users, it has good adaptability. Although I don't have an Apple laptop, but judging from the market reaction, especially for Mac compatibility, it will be better.

The small and light body can be adapted to three devices, and it is also very suitable for business trips. With the lighting effect and entertainment, it is very convenient to use Bluetooth when you are on a business trip. In the office or at home, you can connect to a cable It can also be used with a desktop computer, and it can also be charged by the way. Of course, as long as you are willing, the top-of-the-line K3Pro has also reached the threshold of customization.
