Our Verdict

Keychron C1

Keychron K8 Pro [K2 Pro, K3 Pro, K4 Pro, etc.]

The Keychron K8 Pro [K2 Pro, K3 Pro, K4 Pro, etc.] are much better than the Keychron C1, which belongs to the wider Keychron C series of keyboards. The K Pro Series are wireless keyboards with a much higher build quality thanks to their aluminum frames and PBT keycaps. They also have sound-dampening foam inside the case to reduce typing noise. Plus, they're all hot-swappable, meaning you can change the stock switches. That said, the C1 and other C series keyboards do have a hot-swappable variant, but they're more expensive than the base version.
