I also have a Keychron and it has been a one stop, buy and use until it dies kind of thing for me.

How long does it typically last until it does? What model do you have?

The K6 (small non-numpad).

I dunno. It works OK for me (and I use a cheap off-brand USB cable that works fine for me). I keep it plugged in, so I don't really care about wireless or Bluetooth.

Like I said, I am not really fanatical about keyboards. I wanted the RGB backlights, relatively tactile (but not super -I use red keys), and fairly small. I also wanted wired. This is wireless, but runs as wired.

It seems to be a common frame. I think I have seen almost identical port layouts in other brands.

I brought it about a year ago.

I have the K2 LED/aluminum, hot swappable model with the medium click keys. It's 2ish years old I think. I mostly use it plugged in so I don't have to think about charging. I use it every day and it's worked great. It was my first and only mechanical keyboard, and I love typing on it. It makes me want to type.

I had 3 keychron keyboards, each lasted less than a year before the switches failed, reverted back to a logitech K780 from 5+ years ago and it works a champ.

Also Keychron had some obscure usb cable requirement, that they could never convey over support emails. You would think that any usbc usbc cable would work for a keyboard, but not the few I had laying around that were longer than the provided one

Just my two cents, I wouldn't buy another Keychron

I also have 3 keychrons. One for my wife and myself with a second one with cherry clears for myself. None of them are having problems and they’ve been daily drivers for years now.

I still have the original small KeyChron, it’s been a beast. Had it for years now. I abuse it mightily and it won’t quit.

Maybe their QA has fallen in recent years?

I use a non-backlit K8 during the day and a backlit K2 at night. I like the keychrons so much I ordered a second hot-swappable K8 and some custom quiet switches for making videos.

My mk journey went das keyboard > cooler master > leopold > vortex > keychron. I haven't looked for anything different since I got the keychrons.
