The Keychron V1 is a programmer's dream. As a fully customizable keyboard, you can alter the switches, stabilizers, and internal components of this keyboard over and over again to best suit your tastes. It comes in at a nice budget price point, meaning you don't need to spend a small fortune to get a bespoke unit. Though, you don't have to customize it if you don't want to. The V1 offers an excellent typing experience with all the stock materials, like its PBT keycaps, a layer of sound-dampening foam, and a nice, Y2K-style plastic frame.

In addition to its physical customizability, the V1 also offers a whole suite of software customization. The VIA companion software is available on all major desktop operating systems, including Linux, and lets you program macros to any key, remap key assignments, create layers and profiles, and adjust the RGB lighting effects and colors, and you can save these customized settings to the keyboard's onboard memory for easy access. Plus, this keyboard is fully compatible with QMK firmware for even more thorough customization if that's more your speed.

 Now, as far as the feel is concerned, it's tray mount and stiff, full stop. Onto the sound. So sound-wise, the North Pole switches with the silicone damper really didn't do it for me. It was just a little bit too muted

 You can pick these up in either tactile or linear at PNC Keys, link below. Yeah, so the sound of the board is obviously very dependent on the switches you decide to install in here. For me, it sounded best without the silicone damper, but it did add some hollowness. I'll test this out with some polyfill in a later build and see if it's the right mix

 Since these switches are already deep, the silicone damper took away a lot. Take a listen. So I decided to try it without the silicone damper to see if the board will come to life a bit. And here's what we ended up with

 This is a 75% ABS plastic tray mount keyboard that comes in a few different configurations. The price is pretty shocking, starting at $54 for the bare bones kit. Yeah, $54. You can also pick it up in bare bones with a knob for $64, fully assembled without a knob for $74, and a fully assembled with knob for $84

I Think Its Safe To Call This A Budget Keyboard | Keychron V1 Review

 You need a 1.75u shift and for right ctrl, alt, win you need 1u key caps instead of 1.5u  Via is not officially supported so, you need to download the official Json file to make it work. No qmk support to my knowledge

It’s okay

 I guess I don't know now Let's go ahead and open this whole thing up and see what we are working with So after taking off the what the for eight screws on the back, by the way There are so many screws for this thing so many kind of a bummer I'm not gonna lie. There's a lot of unscrewing but they do include the necessary tools to do so So I do like that now You do see that you pull it off and it does have the PCB with some foam in between Not gonna be removing that or anything and then you see the PCB PCB pretty nice. Nothing too fancy It's just a PCB now We get a look at how it's all mounted together and it is a tray mounted keyboard I do see this dampener, which I do like really thick high quality looking feeling and everything It's it's nice. It does help with the stock sound test and everything else Now another thing to note is you see all the little things poking up so that you can put the PCB in and screw it And everything we're gonna be doing stuff with those in a minute, but I just letting you know that those are there now I'm gonna go ahead and give you a stock sound test because I would like for me to move on to the mod So, what do you think? I like the little stock sound test

 It's decent I mean, it's a good keyboard first. I mean for the money you're paying I mean, you are gonna have to buy your own keycaps and switches, but nonetheless I mean, it's it's a good board these stabs could use a little bit of tuning but nothing you can do on your own I'll have links in the description for like kinetic labs and where I get all my stuff and cry talks to a 5 grade 0 and All that stuff by the way, did you see those keycaps? These these are pretty nice man Pretty good now for the mods we there's not a lot to do here I'm gonna work with the stabs which I do I you lubed in with cry talks to a 5 grade 0 The stock lube they use was just kind of like they just put it on there There wasn't any more lubing done than that So like it was good with what I did and they do a hundred percent sound so much better Would I buy some more stabs probably I just being honest They're not my favorite, but they do sound way better than what they did So after lubing these stabilizers, I had an idea now something that is kind of good Like I mentioned at the beginning of the video is that I waited on this video a little bit not on purpose It's just I didn't I needed to buy it and wait for shipping and all that I got to see a lot of the other youtubers Like do their own kind of mods and stuff like that now one that's stuck in my head the most because this man Is way smarter than me is the youtuber keyboard. Hey shout out to random Frank Pease because I'm such a bigger youtuber than him Like you need a shout out, you know what I mean? Will say man these keycaps are really nice as far as printing now as far as material used I'm not gonna lie They're not the they're not the best in my opinion. I'm just being completely honest I would be lying if I said these are the most high quality keycaps ever bought or not bought or sent or whatever The look of them 10 10 100% 10 out of 10 I love these things but the feel of them like a 6 but like that 10 makes that 6 into like a like an 8 8

 Like I've already said and Let's go ahead and hear that sound test I See hey I think it turned out pretty good compared to the stock in like the stock one this one I think it's pretty good. Now do I think this thing is worth it? of course this you know, I mean I've done so many more more expensive boards in this and I've said those are and this one is Same level as them just cheaper now If you want aluminum case then yeah That might be a little bit of a bummer if you want something that's a little bit more thicker Right because I mean for me since I have handled a lot of keyboards This one is by far the thinnest one I've ever touched that doesn't mean anything That doesn't like it still looks really good on your desk. And it I mean it works like a keyboard should it's cheaper Keycron is a good company. And I mean Yeah, man, it's a nice board especially for that money do that $64 price tag is pretty nice

The Best BUDGET Custom Keyboard Kit??  Keychron V1 Review/Build

 The tolerances are great. I'd say price is great if it wasn't with so many issues.  Issues?.

. the build quality is decent, it's a nice feeling quality plastic. The silicone insert gives it some heft so it doesn't feel hollow. Every switch seated perfectly on first try

  I'll start off with what's good... the build quality is decent, it's a nice feeling quality plastic

Disappointing is an understatement

 At launch, this version went for $74, including the Keychron OSA PBT keycaps, as well as the Keychron K Pro switches. Note, these are Keychron's own switches, and they are not related to Gateron Pro switches that you find on their higher-end boards. They feel pretty smooth, but I felt the sound was a bit weak. This can also be had as a barebones kit for $54 at launch

 In my opinion, I would say go with the lower priced $54 barebones kit and do your own switches and keycaps. While smooth, the optional K Pro switches sound pretty thin in my opinion, even more so than the standard Gateron Reds, and the Keychron OSA keycaps are not my favorite in terms of looks or sound. And if you want the ultimate version, grab some O-rings from Amazon and that simple mod really transforms the V1 to provide a much higher level sound from a $54 package. It's similar to what happened with the Tofu

 These are made by Texi and features a proprietary HPE blend that is set to improve upon the standard UHMWPE. It's a long stem pole switch, and it does have a nice solid sound profile, so I thought it would be perfect for this application. For keycaps, I used PBTFans Purpolge keycaps from KBTFans. I think these look awesome with this smoky black case, so hey, let's put all this together and see what happens

Wirecutter

The Anne Pro 2 is the easiest-to-program 60% keyboard, so it’s the best starting point if you want an even more compact keyboard. Plus, it has wireless support.

If you feel that bigger isn't necessarily better, you'll want to take a peek at the Obinslab Anne Pro 2, the best compact gaming keyboard that we've tested. It's a 60% compact keyboard that takes up very little space on your desk. Its frame is plastic, but it feels very sturdy, and it has high quality, doubleshot PBT keycaps with a matte finish.

It has exceptionally low latency over a wired connection. However, you can also connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth, which is great for productivity but not something we recommend for gaming as the latency is much higher over a Bluetooth connection. The unit we purchased has tactile Gateron Brown switches that don't require much force to actuate. The pre-travel is slightly higher than other mechanical switches, which some gamers might be disappointed with. That said, it's also available in a wide variety of other switch types, including linear switches, which many gamers prefer for their responsiveness.

Unfortunately, it's not the most comfortable option as it lacks an included wrist rest, and there aren't any incline settings. That said, it's a very performant option in a tidy, compact package to leave you with more room for big mouse movements, and it's one of the best mechanical keyboards for gaming that we've tested.

The best compact mechanical keyboard we've tested is the Obinslab Anne Pro 2. Compact sizes are gaining popularity, especially among gamers who may not need as many keys and among users with smaller desk spaces. It's a compact 60% gaming keyboard that feels very well-built and has a stylish design that's likely to fit nicely into most setups.

It also has remarkably low wired latency, full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys, and you can program macros to any of the keys using the customization software. The keyboard is available in a wide variety of switch options. We purchased our unit with Gateron Brown switches that provide good tactile feedback and excellent typing quality. You can connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth, but this is only recommended for productivity tasks and everyday browsing as it has a much higher latency when using it wirelessly.

Unfortunately, the keyboard is a little tall, and the lack of incline settings and an included wrist rest means that your wrists may get tired from using it for long periods. Also, as a 60% design, it lacks dedicated arrow keys, which might be a deal-breaker for some. Overall, this is an extremely versatile choice for gaming, productivity, or mobile use that won't take up much space on your desk.

Compact boards are having their moment in the sun, and it's easy to see why. The smaller size frees up desk space, which may be limited in a tight work-from-home setup, and, for gamers, it allows more space for dynamic, sweeping mouse movements. That said, it can sometimes be difficult to find a performant option at a budget price point. Enter, the Obinslab Anne Pro 2. 

This board also comes with your choice of Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh switches in various styles, so you can get the feeling you prefer. Our unit uses Gateron Brown switches, which provide a light typing experience and give good tactile feedback. You can connect this board with up to four devices simultaneously. This is great if you're using a multi-device work setup, and you can also use it in a wired mode for gaming since its latency is extremely low.

Unfortunately, it's a high-profile board with no incline settings or included wrist rest, meaning it can cause fatigue during a long workday or gaming session. Also, while a compact board has its benefits, it can take some time to get used to, especially since there are no arrow keys to navigate through text or pages. This board's an excellent choice if you're looking to try a compact, wireless keyboard with your gaming or office setup, and it's one of the best wireless mechanical keyboards you'll find at a budget price point.

For an option that takes up less real estate on your desk, the best keyboard for coding that we've tested is the Obinslab Anne Pro 2. It's a compact 60% keyboard that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, so you don't have to worry about using or potentially losing a USB receiver. You can also pair it with up to four devices.

Its frame is plastic, but it feels very solid and well-built. Its keycaps are doubleshot PBT, and they have a slightly textured matte finish that's very comfortable to type on. It also has full RGB lighting with individually backlit keys if you prefer working in a low-light environment. However, it has a pinkish hue when displaying full white light, which may be a dealbreaker for some. We purchased our unit with Gateron Brown switches that provided an excellent typing quality, but this keyboard is also available in various Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh switches.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have any incline settings or an included wrist rest, so it isn't the most comfortable option if you're frequently coding for very long periods. It also lacks dedicated media keys, arrow keys, and a function row, but that's the trade-off for its much smaller desk footprint. Ultimately, this is an extremely customizable and well-built choice for programmers.

The Obinslab Anne Pro 2 is the best Mac mechanical keyboard that we've tested in a compact size. Its 60% form factor is great if you're looking for a mechanical keyboard to bring around with you on-the-go, or if you have a small workstation and can't fit a full-size board. It connects wirelessly with up to four devices via Bluetooth, so it's a great choice if you have a multi-device set up with an iPad or MacBook.

The Gateron Brown switches in our unit provide great tactile feedback without being noisy. The board is also available in a wide variety of switch types, like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh, meaning you can get the typing feel and sound you're looking for. It comes with companion software that's fully compatible with macOS, so you can use the software to reprogram keys, assign macros, or customize the RGB backlighting.

Unfortunately, the small form factor eliminates the Numpad and arrow keys, so it's not well-suited for tasks like data entry. Also, this keyboard has a fairly high profile and doesn't come with a wrist rest, so you'll likely feel a bit of wrist fatigue after a long period of use. With that said, it's an overall high-performing choice if you're looking for a compact mechanical keyboard to use with a Mac device.

Compact-sized keyboards are having something of a moment right now. Whether you're a minimalist or you have a tiny desk, if you're interested in a compact keyboard, you should check out the Obinslab Anne Pro 2, the best compact budget mechanical keyboard we've tested. It's a 60% compact keyboard that takes up a very small footprint on your desk. It has a plastic frame, but it feels very well-built and has high quality, doubleshot PBT keycaps.

It connects wirelessly with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth, but you can also use it wired. Using it wired eliminates your need to worry about running out of battery and makes it a much more viable choice for gamers, thanks to its exceptionally low latency over a wired connection. The model we tested has tactile Gateron Brown switches that don't require too much force to actuate but have slightly higher pre-travel than linear switches, which are typically preferred by gamers for how responsive they feel. Thankfully, this keyboard is also available in a wide selection of other switch types, including linear switches.

Unfortunately, it doesn't include wrist rest, so it may not be a great choice if you need to use your keyboard for long uninterrupted stretches. Despite this, it's a performant option in a neat package that's easy to incorporate into almost any setup.

The best compact gaming keyboard under $100 that we've tested is the Obinslab Anne Pro 2. The advantage of having a small keyboard is that you get extra space to move your mouse around, like if you're playing FPS games with a low-sensitivity mouse. However, there are a few downsides because you don't have dedicated arrow keys or a function row.

It connects wirelessly, and you can pair this keyboard with up to four devices at once via Bluetooth, which is great if you have a multi-device setup, like if you game on your computer and chat with your phone or tablet. The latency is high for gaming if you're using the Bluetooth connection, so we recommend using it with a wired connection for fast-paced or competitive gaming.

Although it has full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys, there are hints of pink when set to display full white backlighting. On the plus side, it's available in a wide variety of clicky, linear, and tactile switches, including switches made by Cherry MX, Kailh, and Gateron. The Gateron Brown switches on our unit offer excellent typing quality. Overall, it's an excellent gaming keyboard available in a compact size.

The Obinslab Anne Pro 2 is an outstanding choice for a budget programming keyboard. While it lacks the ergonomic features of the previously mentioned NuPhy Air75, it's still an incredibly popular model thanks to the wide variety of switches you can choose from, the great wireless connectivity options, and its high build quality, despite its budget price point. The keycaps are a nice, durable PBT, and extra colored ones are included for a bit of personalization.

You can connect it with up to four devices at once using Bluetooth, or you can use it in a wired mode with its included USB-A to USB-C cable, where its latency is exceptionally low, meaning you can push your lines with no delay at all. Although it lacks dedicated arrow keys, there's a unique feature in the software that allows you to use the right-side modifier keys primarily as arrow keys without having to hold &quot;Function&quot; down. If there's a notable downside, it's the battery life. Unfortunately, it only lasts around eight hours, so while it might get you through a workday, you'll have to remember to charge it before use.

The Obinslab Anne Pro 2 offers unparalleled wireless connectivity for its price point. You can pair this compact unit with up to four devices using Bluetooth, making it an excellent choice for multi-device setups or on-the-go use. Though the whole body is plastic, it still feels high quality, and it's much lighter to carry around than a metal keyboard. Plus, its compact form factor makes it easy to slip into backpacks and use in tight workspaces like airplanes or trains.

While this unit isn't hot-swappable, like the Keychron V1 and ROYAL KLUDGE RK61, it does come in a variety of switch options from various manufacturers, so you'll surely find a switch type that works for you. Plus, it includes extra keycaps of bright colors and a keycap puller so you can add a bit of personalization to your board.

The Obinslab Anne Pro 2 puts to rest the idea you need to spend a fortune for a good keyboard. This compact unit punches well above its weight for a variety of reasons. It's one of the few keyboards capable of pairing with up to four devices at once over Bluetooth. Also, when used in a wired mode with its included charging cable, it has extremely low latency that's on par with premium gaming options. And that's not even touching on its typing experience.

It feels excellent to type on with textured PBT keycaps that feel very premium on the fingertips. Though it isn't hot-swappable, it comes with a wide variety of switch options from various manufacturers like Kailh, Gateron, and Cherry, so you'll easily find the stock switch option to get the feeling and sound you want. While you might wonder where your arrow keys are, don't worry, they're still there. You can use the very simple companion software to enable a &quot;Tap&quot; feature that changes some of the underused modifier keys to act primarily as arrow keys. For compact boards, this is a pretty rare feature, as you can normally only access the arrow keys as a secondary &quot;Function&quot; layer.

If you're looking for a budget model that offers solid performance for gaming and general typing, we recommend the Obinslab Anne Pro 2. When used wired with its connection cable, this popular model has an exceptionally low latency that's on par with gaming-oriented options like the Corsair K65 RGB MINI. However, you can also pair it with up to four Bluetooth devices if you'd rather use it for work or general typing tasks, but its latency this way is much higher.

It comes in a variety of switch types from brands like Kailh, Gateron, and Cherry, so you can find an option that works for you. It also comes with a few colorful keycaps to add a bit of personal flair to it. On the note of the keycaps, this board has doubleshot PBT keycaps, which is a nice touch for a budget board. They feel great on the fingertips and have a nice texture for a good grip. Plus, while most compact boards lack arrow keys, this keyboard has a feature, so the right-side modifier keys act primarily like arrow keys when enabled.

However, it has a pinkish hue when displaying full white light, which may be a dealbreaker for some

5 Best Keyboards For Programming - 163 Tested - Spring 2022

 I wanted my new keyboard to be wireless, look great, and be compatible with Mac. I also wanted a keyboard that felt great to type on. I remember being in college in the 90s and typing on computers that had very satisfying clicky keyboards. I wanted to find a keyboard that could make typing fun again

 The Anne Pro 2 seemed to check all my boxes, so I ordered one.  The keyboard arrived yesterday and here are my initial impressions.

I also wanted a keyboard that felt great to type on

Great compact keyboard

 Overall the looks and hardware for the price I'd give it a 5/5 starts but there are slight issues with software as nice as it is.  The software is a little buggy, especially with audio lighting and using the board bluetooth which that is a big feature for why some of you would want this product. Odds are using the software won't go completely smooth for you but for the most part its solid. And on the Pros side the rgb configuration is very very solid and most importantly creating function layers and defining keys for this board through the software for me is why I give it the rating I do

 Personally, because of the keycaps I don't have much of a reason for rgb backlight but because the board uses it the caps are just a little apart from another to see that back light when in use. BUT, it is a great rgb board if you like that it's just not for my case but not bad by any means.

By far the best parts about this board are its looks and its ease of use of the software for defining those function rows.  Also, just how I feel, I got the red Gateron switches and for a prebuilt board and coming from Cherry reds I would say I even like these more
