Overview
The K10 is a full-size wireless and wired mechanical backlit keyboard that includes additional keycaps for both Windows and Mac operating systems, and users can hotswap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version.
WIRELESS AND WIRED MODES
Connects with up to 3 devices via Bluetooth and switch among them easily. With high reliable and broad compatibility Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 chipset, the K10 is best to fit home, office and light gaming use while connecting with your smartphone, laptop and iPad. It also has wired mode with USB connection.
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL DEVICES
Compatible for both MacOS and Windows. Keychron is one of only a few in the market that comes with a Mac multimedia keys layout for Mac enthusiasts.
For Linux users, we also have a dedicated user group to help with the experience.
HOT-SWAPPABLE
Hot-swappable means to customize your typing experience without soldering, just pop in the switches you want, and its done.
The K10 Gateron (Hot-swappable version) keyboard supports the changing of switches. The Gateron (Hot-swappable) switch sockets are compatible with almost all the MX style 3pin (“~” key supports 3pin only) and 5pin mechanical switches on the market (including Gateron, Cherry, Kailh, etc.) SMD-LED compatible switches are the best for showing the backlights.
DEDICATED TYPING EXPERIENCE
The K10 is designed to fit your dedicated typing experience. No matter what you like, linear, clicky or a little in between, we’ve got you covered with three Gateron switches options (Blue, Brown, Red). With a lifespan of 50 million keystroke we want to make sure that you experience the same feedback for every keystroke, and an inclined bottom frame makes the K10 more comfortable to crank out emails or write a novel.
FULL SIZE LAYOUT
Comes with a 105 key full size layout included number pad that offers convenient access to all the essential keys* for Mac and Windows included the dedicated Screenshot Key, Siri (Cortana) Key, and Screen Lock Key. *Num Lock works with Windows OS only.

I dont see anywhere mentioning that the keyboard would be used, full of stains and hair, and also with the wrong keys sent for a UK-ISO keyboard. Well, this is what I got. Just beware they might send you a used one without your knowledge, and you may be missing what was advertised here.

Very pleased with my new Keychron K10, and great service!
Im always reluctant to spend much on things like this, and Ive kept my previous keyboard (Razer Blackwidow) going for 10+ years – but it finally gave in and some keys stopped working altogether so I decided finally time to a replacement.
I was unsure what to expect from the Keychron and the price, but I was immediately impressed – even just replacing the key caps for UK+Windows was straightforward.
The typing experience is great, very responsive, battery life seems very long (been using it all day all week for work, and not ran out yet).
If youre on the fence like I was for ages, go for it!

This keyboard is nicely built and has good key action. But be aware that it’s nonstandard in a couple of VERY important ways:
Firstly, it draws 2A from the USB port, rather than the normal 500mA. Can my KVM switch provide 2A? No, it cannot. You only find this out when you reach page 10 of the manual.
Secondly, it presents to USB with Apples’s idVendor (0x05ac). This makes Linux treat it as an Apple keyboard even when it’s in Windows mode. There’s a hack to fix that at the OS level, but that’s no good when you’re accessing multiple computers through a KVM switch. It may also be contributing to the keyboard not working with my (Adder) KVM switch.
As further minor annoyances, there’s no way to have the PauseBreak key act as normal instead of controlling the backlighting, and no way to stop it trapping Alt + LeftRight.
Apparently, the Pro variant supports QMK which, given enough time and effort, would allow you to return it to normal functionality, but there would still be that 2A current draw to deal with.
I’m sure there are gamers who would love this keyboard, but if you’re wanting hot-swap keyswitches on a keyboard that in other respects is completely vanilla, this is not it.

This is my second Keychron keyboard; I recently purchased a K8 with brown Gateron Pro switches for the times when I have to work in the office (the keyboards provided at our hot desks are hateful) and it was small enough (while still being full-profile) to put in my backpack.
I became so enamoured with the K8, I retired my trusty old dasKeyboard 4 Pro, but I really missed the numpad. So I now have this K10 to work at home, and a K8 for when I’m on the move.
The aluminium case is solid, so no deck flex at all, and the overall typing experience (once again with brown Gateron Pro switches) is solid. I went for the hot-swappable unit so that I have the option of changing switches in the future (something I couldn’t do on my old dasKeyboard).
Yes. there are units around with more bells and whistles, but for the price, this is fantastic value – having both wired and Bluetooth connectivity is great, as is the ability to switch between PC and Mac layouts.
Overall, it’s a joy to type on. Highly recommended.

Solid keyboard easy to use and install. Comes in Mac but the key puller that came with it made short work of the keys. Would recommend for the mech full lsize, wireless fan.

Very pleased with the quality of the Keychron K10 and service from the reseller. Only slight problem is that the keys are not quite flush on replacement but thats probably me. 5 stars.

A wonderful keyboard, the metal frame is extremely solid, have the ‘brown’ switches which are fantastic with the sligh indent, and the RGB is awesome. Looking to buy another one to use for work when they are back in stock

Bought a K4 elsewhere a little over a year ago that I just couldn’t get along with the layout of so was so pleased to see that the K10 was available.
Absolutely love this keyboard – there are only *TWO* things that I’d change that would make it perfect for my use …
The first is I’d love to be able to get this with just white backlighting – it doesn’t seem possible to get the K10 with white backlighting, swappable keys and the aluminium frame. I’m not an RGB fanboi but I do like a backlit keyboard, I can switch this K10 to be steady white but it’s RGB white which means that as I move around the room when it is dark I get that RGB triple exposure thing in my peripheral vision. (I’m sensitive to that – I have always noticed the same thing on colour-wheel DLP projectors too.)
The second is I wish they did a version with a dedicated wireless keyboard receiver – a’la Microsoft or Logitech … bluetooth is fine for day-to-day use but obviously is no good for getting into BIOS settings etc.
Other than that, absolutely bob-on!

Great keyboard. This was my first mechanical keyboard and I’m astounded that I hadn’t gotten one sooner. Working as tech professionals, we are always taught to master our tools. I never thought this extended to physical equipment and was completely happy using my cheap membrane keyboard.
Boy, was I wrong. Using a mechanical keyboard actually boosted my output by letting me not have to guess if I actually hit a key: improving my typing speed. The backlight is great and the functions of the keyboard are really easy to grasp. I looked at the short instruction page for about 5 minutes and haven’t needed to refer to it since. Bluetooth pairing was simple for my Mac and it works fine on my Linux machine in wired mode. Overall, this is an excellent product and extremely versatile.
My only criticism is that there isn’t a battery indicator on the keyboard. But the charge lasts for weeks with constant use so should rarely become an issue. Wired mode removes this problem entirely.
I wholly recommend the K10 to anyone unsure if they think they’d like a mechanical keyboard. It’s a great product that I now use daily and plan to for a long time to come.

I absolutely love this keyboard. Very glad I went for the aluminium case and the brown switches are just right – nice clackety action but not super loud. I honestly just enjoy tapping away on this keyboard – my typing speed feels quicker and like it has more flow(?). Hard to describe really but definitely worth the purchase.
Great delivery speed and customer service too – all around very happy!

This is difficult review to write.
I have been waiting nearly a year for the UK layout of the K10 and am so happy to finally have one. It feels awesome and looks great.
And I would have given it 5 stars easily if … the Bluetooth worked.

To be honest, this was my first mechanical keyboard.
I was looking for a new keyboard in the market as my previous keyboard was forcing me to make errors. It was terrible.
As this was a keyboard for me to work with remotely, I decided to invest as I spend more than 40 hours a week using one.
I knew I wanted a Keychron keyboard and I wanted a 100% keyboard as I work with a lot of spreadsheets.
This keyboard was a game changer. I feel like I can pour my brain out onto the screen. Keys a solid both up and down and side to side. It weighs a ton. No chance of sliding around in the desk. It was expensive but worth every penny.
I did read about some quality control issues with the printing of letters on key caps, but I can confirm I had none. I guess they have listened to feedback and addressed these issues.
