Keychron

Keychron is a brand that designs and manufactures mechanical keyboards. Founded in 2017, the company quickly gained popularity for offering a wide range of mechanical keyboard options at competitive price points. Keychron keyboards are known for their modularity, allowing users to customize switches, keycaps, and sometimes even the layout.

The brand offers a variety of form factors, including full-size, tenkeyless (TKL), 75%, 65%, and 60% layouts, catering to different user preferences and desk space requirements. Keychron also emphasizes wireless connectivity, with many of its models supporting Bluetooth and USB-C wired connections, making them versatile for both desktop and mobile use.

Keychron keyboards often feature hot-swappable switch sockets, which means users can change out mechanical switches without soldering. This feature is highly valued by enthusiasts who like to experiment with different switch types to find their preferred typing feel and sound. The company typically uses Gateron and Keychron's own branded switches, but the hot-swappable nature allows compatibility with many other MX-style switches.

The brand's product line includes models made from plastic and aluminum, offering different levels of build quality and premium feel. Keychron has established a strong presence in the mechanical keyboard community through online retailers and direct sales.
