I have had this keyboard for about a week and love it. I was very resistant to letting go of my ancient Microsoft keyboard that had key stickers on the faded keys but it was needless worry, the Keychron is so much better. It has me covered in all areas of functionality that I required. The only downside is that the function key numbers aren't lit eg F1, F2 etc but I have got around this by programming the keys I use often to light up in a different colour to the others eg F2 and F5 are bright yellow so it's easy to find. I have programmed a 'back' button and used macros on the top right four keys to have shortcuts to specific often-used files on my PC (need to create a desktop shortcut first). So pleased with it, thank you to Helen in the office for her advice on brown, red etc - I am a keyboard novice so it was great to talk to a knowledgeable person. Highly recommend this keyboard and company.
