If you’re the owner of one of Keychron’s other models, everything else is standard. The cheapest Keychron K7 configuration ($69) comes with soldered Gateron low-profile mechanical switches and white backlighting, but the most expensive model ($89) has hot-swappable switches (only swappable with the same brand) and RGB backlighting. There’s a ton of switch variety, and you can pick between three Gateron low-profile mechanical switches or five low-profile Keychron optical switches. The 68-key Keychron K7 has dedicated arrow keys, and two function keys to access media controls and lighting effects. The Keychron K7, announced back in July, is a 65 percent keyboard that’s only 22mm (about 0.86 inch) at its thickest with keycaps (the rubber stoppers add another 2mm, which are not counted in the official height). The height is actually more like 24mm when you take into account the rubber stoppers. If you look past all the typical mechanical keyboards, though, there are companies that tailor to the low-profile mechanical keyboard market such as Logitech, Cooler Master, and most notably, Keychron, the Kickstarter-savvy keyboard brand that’s rapidly wiggled itself into the keyboard space with a range of affordable and customizable products. The only downside is that you may not find as many options for keycaps, wrist rests, and other accessories.


It used to be the case that low-profile mechanical keyboards compromised big time, but with better low-profile switches available these days, you can still get a similar experience to typing on a regular mechanical keyboard. Low-profile mechanical keyboards are obviously thinner, but they also use much shorter, almost flat, keycaps and switches. But low-profile keyboards are having a moment, led by products like the Keychron K7 that I’ve been testing for the past few weeks. It may be because normal-sized mechanical keyboards have been around since the ‘70s that the chunky form factor remains so popular. Go to your local electronics retailer or shop around Amazon and you’ll see that it’s a “normal” mechanical keyboard supremacy. Though mechanical keyboards have exploded in popularity in recent years, the vast majority of them are not low-profile.
