Our Verdict

Keychron K1

Keychron K3 (Version 2)

The Keychron K1 and the Keychron K3 (Version 2) are both low-profile mechanical keyboards. The K1 comes in a TKL form factor, while the K3 V2 is a compact 75% board. They perform very similarly, but the K3 V2 has two incline settings for better ergonomics, and it's available with more switch styles and options. Also, the K3 V2 has a hot-swappable variant.
