Keychron K1 (version 4) Mechanical Keyboard

About 4 months after getting the Keychron K2 (read about my experience here), I have opted to get the new Keychron K1 (now in version 4).

In essence the K1 is a low-profile mechanical keyboard but has 87-keys instead of 84 keys on the K2.

Initially I thought the K1 would take up significantly more space than the K2 but I was pleasantly surprised that it is actually only 2 columns wider than the K2.

In essence the K1 does not take up significantly more space horizontally on the table and as such it is a very welcomed option together with the much lower side profile.

The low profile Gateron switches on the K1 are also less noisy than the normal profile Gateron switches on the K2.
