My Keychron V4 is supposed to arrive later today.

Keycaps and switches are still a couple weeks away, but I can use my current ones until then.

@Anachron Which did you get, again?
Show threadAnachron 

@benjaminhollon didn't buy it yet, because it's not available for now.

The Keychron k7 with RGB + low profile keychron (hot-swap) with brown switches and ISO-DE layout.

Ah, fair. Hopefully it'll be available soon!

@benjaminhollon yep, hopefully!

I'm still torn between the k3 and k7 ... I don't use the F-keys often, but I am not too sure about the quad usage of the number-keys.

@Anachron
Interesting, going for low profile? I'm curious why you're interested in that. (though definitely not judging; just curious)

@benjaminhollon I currently have a low profile keyboard and it's also quite small.

Plus if I need to take my laptop with me I could just throw in the keyboard in the bag as well for a pleasant work environment.

@Anachron
Got it, okay. The thing keeping me from imagining that scenario is that those seem to be made of aluminum, which is quite heavy. I ended up going with one that has a plastic case because I wanted it to be more lightweight.
