What we can tell you
A 65% board (arrows kept, function row dropped) in a machined aluminium case, with receiver, Bluetooth and wired connections. The 65% layout is the compromise most people who try 60% end up at, because losing the arrow cluster is usually what sends them back. Keychron does not publish a keycap material for this variant on the page we could read, so that row is empty.
What the specifications favour
- Keeps the arrow cluster in a compact layout
- Machined aluminium case with hot-swap sockets
- Three connection modes and QMK/VIA firmware
What to check before you buy
- No function row: those keys live on a layer
- Keycap material is not published for this variant
- The recorded price was promotional
