Three versions
- Mechanical Switch
Durable Gateron mechanical switch with a 50 million keystroke lifespan to provide an unrivaled tactile responsiveness - Optical Switch
Designed with gamers in mind, the LK optical switch enables every key trigger to have a latency of only 0.2ms and a lifespan longevity of 100 million keystroke with an unrivaled tactile responsiveness.
*The LK optical switch version is hot swappable, but we don’t recommend you to alter their switch often as the keys are plugged on the plate very tight, not that easy to swap. It's only compatible with certain kinds of LK optical switch (need the same dimension). - Hot-swappable

Excellent keyboard- huge discount over RRP especially considering the original one would include shipping from the US. I was a little sceptical of the price at first and thought maybe it was too good to be true but shipping was fast, tracking was accurate, the keyboard was brand new and boxed, and everything went so smoothly! Would definitely recommend keyboardco to anyone looking for a new board.

I bought the K6 to go with my compact working from home setup (on the living room table!) and I'm really pleased with it. I got the hot-swappable version in case I wasn't happy with the switches but I really like the Gateron Browns - they have a small satisfying bump to their travel and aren't too loud. If you're not sure what to go for because this is your first mechanical keyboard, and you're not dead-set on needing the quietest thing possible, just go with the Browns.
Connectivity has been great, I switch between 2 Apple devices. I've kept the auto-sleep turned on (I think it switches off after 10 minutes), and reconnecting is almost instant, after pressing a key to wake it up.
I love the compact form, as I rarely use the function keys. I only really use the volume media keys, and having to use the fn1 modifier isn't that much hassle at all - in fact I quite like how the up and down volume functions are over the + and - keys respectively :D
The height of the keyboard is not a problem, it's not too much effort to float the wrists over the board but I use a wrist support anyway, and I've had no pain or anything.
The keycaps are fine - I know the ABS material isn't the greatest quality, but I'm going to wait until they deteriorate before I think about changing them. I haven't noticed them getting greasy marks or anything. The only downside is that in a dimly lit room, the poor contrast of the legends mean they are very hard to see without the backlight on - I'm using the backlight more than I thought I would, but that's OK, as the battery life is great.
Highly recommend buying from Keyboard Co, great service and swift delivery. Heck, they even throw in a free drink coaster!

Fantastic keyboard! I got the hot-swappable Gateron Brown switches and I'm absolutely loving the experience so far. Bluetoothcable connection as well as the battery life have exceeded expectations. Great service from Keyboard Co too, 1 week delivery to the Republic of Ireland in March 2021!
