Whilethe Pro Type Ultra may be more pleasing to the ears, it's less pleasant to the fingertips. The keycaps are ABS plastic and feel like it. They have a very mild, slime-like feeling on top that Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) keycaps, which generally have a rougher texture for better grip, typically don't have.

I know what everyone's thinking: gaming without RGB? No way! But seriously, while vendors like Razer are often careful to divide the line between productivity and gaming peripherals, when you're paying $160 for a keyboard, it's fair to expect it to handle both writing long, professional work emails and fragging virtual foes. There are very few reasons why you can't use this keyboard as a gaming clacker beyond the lack of a gamer aesthetic.


One thing missing is the ability for your Overwatch hotkeys to launch when you open the game and then switch over to your Battlefield V profile when that's at play. But you can do that yourself in Synapse.


N-key rollover is a much-touted feature in gaming keyboards. It allows the keyboard to register every input, even if you press all keys simultaneously. The Pro Type Ultra can only register 10 simultaneous keypresses, which I confirmed via an online tool. However, many gamers can make do with this, especially considering how hard it is to press more than 10 keys at the exact same time.


More damning for gaming were those clammier keycaps. I don't get sweaty when typing but am more likely to get warm when gaming, where the keycaps' lesser grip became more of an issue. Extra-sweaty gamers may need to take a break from the Pro Type Ultra occasionally.


I'm happy to see a new keyboard with mechanical switches and multiple connectivity options. Wireless peripherals, especially among dedicated brands like Razer and Logitech, have become very reliable of late. Now mechanical keyboard enthusiasts can also benefit from this development.


There's a clear need for this keyboard. And that's even considering the existence of the Razer Pro Type. Extended battery life is one of the easiest ways to make a good wireless peripheral better. The wrist rest is a small, obvious addition, but I can't deny that it's way comfier than typing with my wrists on a desk.


Razer is excited about how quiet the Pro Type Ultra is, and sound dampening foam did seem to help pinging. But clicky-switch fans who want the world to hear them typing will need to look elsewhere. And although tactile switches are often associated with typing and linear for gaming, the Pro Type Ultra only comes with linear switches. Those who prefer tactile switches have to settle for the Pro Type with shorter battery life and no wrist rest. Razer has done well with the Pro Type Ultra, but there are still some issues.


One of those is affordability. The $160 MSRP is high, even for a wireless mechanical keyboard. The Pro Type Ultra stands out a bit by offering both a Bluetooth and dongle connection, but so does Razer's BlackWidow V3 Pro. And if you can find it on sale, you can get significantly more functionality, like onboard profiles, for only about $10 to $20 more than the Pro Type Ultra's MSRP.


But if you can take full advantage of the Pro Type Ultra's features and have four devices to use it with, insist on the reliability of a dongle, and like a clean, bright look, the Pro Type Ultra is just your type.


The STREAK65 LP is the fastest gaming keyboard with all the essential keys, while giving you ample room to swing your mouse. Now with ultra-durable doubleshot PBT keycaps, sound dampening foam, and a coiled cable.


Coming in at a total of 1.8 meters in length, the braided exterior cable will sit pretty on your desk while also minimizing cable clutter thanks to the neatly-packed, yet extendable 16 centimeter coil.


Equipped with FNATIC low profile switches, the STREAK65 LP gives you maximum speed with just a 1.0mm pre-travel. This gives smooth, flawless keystrokes when gaming, allowing you to focus on your performance.


The low profile FNATIC switch is 35% lower than traditional mechanical switches. The height of the keys is reduced, allowing for a healthier, more natural wrist position, even without the use of a wrist-rest.


With Fnatic OP, our powerful cross-platform software, you can completely customise all of your Gear to make it as powerful as you are. Allowing for RGB control, mappable buttons, custom macros, unique actions and more.


Eh, id rather have it be something that isnt branded. Although it would be a good option for people who enjoy that sort of thing, since the framework logo really is a good logo. I would personally like to have something more simplistic. Like a heart or a circle or something.


Stickers on keys are awful. (They make the key feel different, and they wear out at a different rate.) The meta key should not be relegated to second-class-citizen status. It should have its glyph produced in the same manner as every other key.


Have you looked at the pictures of the keycaps on the keyboard? It looks like the key surface is a rubber or silicon surface that is one piece with every other key. Replacing a keycap in this case is not an option without replacing the entire keyboard.


Novelties Kit: Inject some fun into your keyboard with a set of special keys inspired by heroism. From empowering fists to the motivational "plus ultra," let your keys echo your spirit.


Spacebars Kit: Designed for ergonomic and split keyboards, this kit includes additional spacebars and space bar clusters, enhancing your typing experience while preserving the color scheme.


The second keycap profile that Drop has manufactured in-house. The first was MT3, a popular profile designed by Matt3o. The DCX profile is essentially Cherry profile, with minor differences. Like the Cherry profile, DCX is sculpted and cylindrical shaped. DCX keycaps are slightly textured and provide silky feeling, which allows for easy finger movement while typing. DCX keycaps also feel similar to GMK keycaps, but less grippy.


The DCS profile is Signature Plastics' version of Cherry profile. It is cylindrical and sculpted just like Cherry profile, but shorter. What makes DCS keycaps stand out is that they have rounded corners and coarse surface which is rarely found on keycaps.


The ZDA profile is a variation of XDA profile. They are both uniform, spherical shaped and have square surface shape. The primary difference is that ZDA profile keycaps are taller. Additionally, ZDA keycaps help produce a "thocky" sound. You can get high quality ZDA keycaps from YMDK.


The MA profile is a unique keycap profile. This profile is tall, sitting at 12.38mm. It is a spherical shaped uniform profile. Paired with the large surface area of these keycaps. they give keyboards a 3d look as the tall spherical keycaps pop out from the keyboard.


HSA stands for half SA. As the name implies, its a shorter version of the high profile, spherical, sculpted SA profile. One of the main complaints about the SA profile is that it is so tall that it becomes uncomfortable to type on. JTK leaped at this opportunity and introduced the HSA profile so that users can type on their favorite profile, at a much lower and comfortable height.


These HSA keycaps feature a glossy finish on all 5 surfaces - the top and the sides of the keycaps. The glossy surface is not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to prevent the keycaps from developing a shine over time. As a result, these keycaps are more durable and will retain a uniform texture throughout use. The visuals of these keycaps are more appealing and the typing experience is one of a kind due to the glossy finish which is not something we often see.


Keychron K3 German ISO DE Layout Ultra-slim Wireless Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard version 2 has included keycaps for both Windows and macOS, and users can hot-swap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version.



Please drop your email on "Notify Me When Available" if the product model is out of stock.


Note: Some larger keycaps such as the Shift and Enter keys will require stabilizers for a steadier typing experience. Insert the keyboard stabilizers into the stems on the backside of the keycaps before pushing it into place.


Note: Remove the surrounding keycaps for easier removal and installation. To replace an existing stabilizer bar, hold its curved ends and pull outwards until they detach from the stabilizers. To attach its replacement, hold and align the stabilizer bar to the keyboard's stabilizers and push until it snaps into place.


Keychron K3 Ultra-slim Wireless Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard version 2 has included keycaps for both Windows and macOS, and users can hot-swap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version.


I got this as a gift from my son. The product is great and works very well with my IMac and Macbook pro. The space stabilizer came off and support team was very responsive and worked with me to ensure that it is fixed. They send me the parts needed and I could fix it.


For low-profile mechanical keyboard is one of the best ! I'm waiting for the k3 pro to be back on stock because mine k3 start to feel a little bit clumsy, some keys are a little bit "mush", losing their bounciness. It's been 3 years now so it's time to upgrade :D


love this keyboard however the battery will last at most about 12 hours if you keep the backlights on. After a year of using it, the batteries now only last 6 hours with the backlight on. So battery degrades pretty fast. Having said that, I will probably buy another one when the battery becomes completely useless.


After owning K6, I know what I am looking for. I am a laptop user for the longest time, I should give Ultra-slim RGB Low Profile Optical (Hot-swappable) a try. Again it lives above my expectation. I managed to improve it with sound damping, lubed the switch, and replace some red switches with blue to make some difference in sound during typing. Just like K6, it has an ergonomic angle design. Made it comfortable to use. At the same time, I will need to get used to the new layout as Del button has changed place. Plus point to an additional print screen button. But I notice that K6 Type C cable is not compatible with K3. It is a letdown when you get to own more than one Keychron keyboard.
