Features:
- QMK/VIA software support: QMK / VIA is open-source software for keyboards that allows anyone to program and remap each key easily and quickly. You can personalize your own keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more.
- Gasket mount design: The C3 Pro uses a gasket mount structure to reduce sound resonance while adding more typing flexibility. Along with the sound-absorbing foam and the case foam, it provides you with a quieter and smoother typing experience.
- 1000 Hz polling rate & NKRO: Empowered by the high- performance ARM architecture MCU with 256KB Flash, it provides a 1000 Hz polling rate for a fast and responsive typing speed in your working and gaming. The NKRO feature is convenient to help you enter multiple keypresses at a time.
- Easy toggle between macOS and Windows: Press the key combo FN + CAPS to instantly change the keyboard working system to Mac / Win. And it accommodates universal keycaps compatible with both systems.
- Shine-through double-shot ABS keycaps: Made through the ABS double-shot process, the keycaps are durable and wear-resistant. Meanwhile, the shine-through legends lit up by the north-facing LED present a glamorous look at your fingertips. And you can also switch from more than 14 types of red backlights.

You can also add any possible key combination and macro using VIA layers. The software is open-source, web-based and supports Windows, Linux & Mac.
At $30 this could be the most affordable VIA keyboard ever made. The only catch is its switches are not hot-swappable.

"Keychron hasn't cut any corners. The switches are hot-swappable and there's an LED under every keycap. The keycaps are shine-thru types and the double-shot design feels well made. The best bit about this keyboard is the ability to program the keyboard using VIA."

Also, it is really good for $30. I wish the brown switches were more tactile, the LEDs weren't red, and the keycaps were a little nicer but that's nitpicks on a VIA/QMK kb at this price.
I really liked the feel of the keys when typing, but the LEDs were too dim, even at max brightness. Only the "enter" and "esc" keys seemed reasonably bright.
The height was also just a few mm higher than my hyperx origins keyboard, so a wrist rest would probably be necessary.
And if you decide to use your own usb-c cable, it can't have a long strain relief; the channels where you route the cable inside will get in the way.

Otherwise, this keyboard is nice for the price. I didn't like the red light though
