Overall, I'm actually really happy with the mice. I hope Keychron continues to expand and update their mice collection, differentiating them via styles and the amount of buttons while still making sure each mice has top quality internal sensors (unlike logitech screw them)
Pros:
- Unbeatable price point for the DPI and polling and buttons you get in the package
- Looks SUPER clean, professional. Would pass in an office setting yet still can do gamer functionality
- Silent switches truly are silent.
- Plastic full body. Can be a pro or con depending on how you view it. It doesn't FEEL as premium as an MX, that's for sure, but the MX rubber is notorious for melting like acid under sweaty gamer hands. So Keychron made the right decision here with the material.
- DPI, polling, macros, etc. can all be saved onboard the mice, and with multiple profiles to boot, easily toggable by several switches under the mouse. HUGE WIN for corporate employees whose IT people don't allow macro software downloads (looking at you useless Logi Options malware). Enjoy macros on your company spreadsheets.
Cons/Wants:
- The side scroller wheel isn't as easy or buttery smooth to spin like the MX Masters. I wish Keychron tuned this even further and at least made the premium 8K polling version of this mice a metal knob version.
- VIA Macros repeat on loop instead of only pressing once. This is a problem when the side buttons are kind of stiff, and take a hot second to pop back up. I end up running my macros 2-3 times by accident because I can't lift my thumb up fast enough.
Overall, I'm happy and definitely keeping this mice, and I'd STILL recommend it over the MX Master. Because let's be honest, are you paying +12 bucks for a mouse whose software corporate will never let you download? This is a great multitasking mice for office and gaming and if you only need one quality mouse, this is one the get and keep.
