Got this keyboard when it was this price around black friday. Very solid, sturdy, and the keys are very good.

Cherry is just the brand of switch. This price is only for speed switches which most people will hate since they have very little travel time before they activate. You can basically touch type with these. It's why these boards go on sale constantly, no one wants speed switches. Red switches (normal linear) is $157.

Only for SPEED switches. The key caps are non standard so if you want to replace or fix them youll need the proprietary caps.

Since this keyboard was first released there has been a bit of a keyboard revolution with Hall effect switches and more. Unless you are set on the brand name you can find a lot of great boards around this price where a few years back this would be a great deal.

Keychron as a brand has become the normie go to for pre-made boards. They offer a lot of variety for a good price. Mechanical switches work great but the trendy new things are Hall Effect and TMR switches. Wooting for the last few years was known and the leader of the Hall Effect market however many third party boards are catching up. If you dont need a 100% board with a numberpad there are a ton of options both wired and wireless. Lots of youtube content creators and subreddits on the topic. Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, there has never been a better time to get into customizable and personalized keyboards.

this keyboard is so outdated for what it offers at even the $90 the price point and its a flat out megarip off at $160, many better keyboards or similar at around $30 without the name brand. Corsair still doesn't even have mechanical hot swapable removable keyboard switches, i have no clue what they are waiting for, they are just flat out milking their outdated keyboards. there are many mechanical hot swapable removable keyboard switches on amazon for under $50-$60 all the time that are better than this.

I had an RGB K70 for a while. My only gripe was the keycaps they use kept breaking. They did send replacements during the warranty period though. Not sure if they've improved the material since.

My only gripe with keychron is most of their lineup uses south facing LEDs which are super annoying especially on a sloped chassis and have zero purpose since they don't work well with regular shine through caps unless you buy more expensive side shine through which are annoying for other reasons etc etc etc . I realize it's a nonissue for many users who prefer solid caps or don't care

Otherwise their keyboards are solid I would add that some gaming companies make excellent keyboards too with north facing LEDs albeit at different price points - Corsair k65 pro , ASUS strix scope 96, ASUS azoth , Razer black widow 75 pro .. etc

This is my problem. I type extremely fast, and coworkers have made comments. I'd really like to get a keyboard but don't want to spend too much.
Is there anything <$50 that would make my typing much more muted? Right now I'm just using the crap keyboard that came with the crap laptop my company gives out.

I have a K70 Rapidfire, but all the keycaps broke... really disappointed with the quality. I would get new keycaps, but for the price, I might as well buy a new keyboard. The caps are also really high, so I'd be looking to get slimmer ones.
