This really cleaned up both the typing feel and the sound profile. So the two mods I performed: 1) replaced the red switches with Gateron Phantom Yellows, and 2) band aid modded the stabilizers. They are pre-lubed (with lube dripping down onto the PCB, I found), but clacky. And those stabilizers, out of the box.nope. The typing feel was just okay for me, sound profile not really pleasant. So there's a lot to like just unboxing and plugging it in.Īll that being said, my initial reservations were stabilizers and overall typic experience. The switch and keycap pullers are good quality, and there are thoughtful included items like allen screwdriver for the case screws and additional screws (yay!). The OSA keycap profile is also quite nice, very much different than the spherical Drop MT3 I had been using at home, and after adjusting I prefer typing on it. Has more flex and give than the GMMK Pro, which I very much like. I prefer the heft of a full aluminum chassis, and have liked the other Keychrons I've purchased and tried. Purchased the fully assembled navy blue w Red switches for my work daily driver - on Win machines I prefer a 65%, while at home on a Mac I prefer 75% (which is why the home daily driver is a GMMK Pro).
