Keychron seems to be a pretty decent keyboard brand from my minimal research when I was looking to get a new one, myself! I ultimately went with something else because I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for with them, but they were def on my shortlist.
Sure thing! I went with the Royal Kludge M75 keyboard in this cool green pattern with their “pale green” tactile switches.
I was looking for these things really:
Cool yet tasteful aesthetics
A 75% form factor (no numpad, compact while retaining arrow keys and function row…I want my mouse hand to sit close to my keyboard)
Tactile key switches (they have a satisfying tactile “bump” sensation when you press down on them, but aren’t insanely loud like “clicky” key switches)
Something that isn’t breaking the bank
Wireless capability
It met everything I was looking for and had some pretty good reviews, so I pulled the trigger. Keychron seems to be higher quality than some of these, but it just didn’t have the interesting color schemes I was looking for. It also seems to tend to cost more. My PC case is green so it complements it well. The tactile switches are very satisfying to type on imo!
I have a few and they’re good keyboards, especially at that price point. Keychron went from producing niche lower-quality stuff to broad range and improved quality and (from what i hear) back to unreliable products for the past year or so due to cost cutting. So look for a bit older models, I suppose.
