The compact design puts “del” just to the right of “Backspace” which is going to take some getting used to. good? Soft? Silky? Dry? I can’t really- ahem- put a finger on it but the plastic of the K7 has a very soft feel that I … think… I like.
If you like the look of the K7 but have trouble with the noise levels of mechanical keyboards you might actually find this usable. – The low-profile brown switches on the K7 are quiet, much quieter than the full-sized Cherry switches on my DasKeyboard 4C TKL. Typing took a couple of failed attempts to re-adjust my fingers to the key spacing, but in a few short moments I found myself up to speed and quickly noticed a few things: In fact at this very moment I am typing this review on the POCO X4 right into Google Docs, using the K7.

I paired it to my Linux laptop (it’s set up as a desktop, I’m not completely mad!) and the POCO X4 Android phone I’ve been wielding. The board shows up as Keychron K7 in the Bluetooth menu of your device and pairing doesn’t require entering a pin. A 4-second hold of fn1 + Q (or W, or E for your other profiles) will enter pairing mode. Pairing is easy enough, the K7 supports three Bluetooth hosts switched via fn1 in concert with the Q, W and E keys. oh no, mech keyboards are a slippery slope! That’s not to say I’m not extremely interested in seeing what alternate sets Keycron rolls out for this beautiful object, and trying some alternate switc…. The bag of swappable key-caps was tempting, but with over thirty years of poking at many different keyboards I skipped the keycaps and set about pairing and testing the noise level of the low-profile brown switches.
Keys are well protected though! /oz6q3r4wsf
