Description

A press you can feel in a compact body

Brown switches are tactile: early in the stroke your finger feels a small bump that signals the key has registered, without a loud click. The 96% layout moves the number pad right next to the main keys, so the keyboard is narrower than a full-size model. An aluminium body, LSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps and RGB backlighting round it off.

Who this keyboard is for

People who type a lot and want to feel every keypress, and anyone who needs a number pad on a low, narrow keyboard. Keycaps for both Windows and macOS are in the box. If you prefer a smooth linear press, the K17M-H1 version with Gateron Red switches is the alternative.

Questions & answers

Does the keyboard have Estonian letters?

No. The layout is English ENG (ANSI), so Õ, Ä, Ö and Ü are not printed on the keys. To type in Estonian, add the Estonian keyboard layout in your system settings.

What is the difference between K17M-H3 and K17M-H1?

According to the manufacturer data, the switches: the K17M-H3 uses Greetech Brown, while the K17M-H1 uses linear Gateron Red. Connections, battery, layout and dimensions are the same on both.

How many devices can it pair with?

Up to three over Bluetooth, plus the 2.4 GHz receiver and a USB-C cable. Keychron rates the 2000 mAh battery at up to 110 hours.
