This is a video to compare the @LogitechG 915 TKL with the @KeychronKeyboard K1 V4 - these are two low profile keyboards, both "wireless" with a low profile design, high-quality finish, snazzy keycaps and much more to offer too. The G915 TKL is twice the price, is the K1 a valid alternative? Let's see...

The Keychron K1 V4 wireless is mechanical keyboard that's pitched as wireless (via Bluetooth 5.1) and has a number of highlights that includes a low profile design, high-quality look and feel and some nice features too. It's not without its problems though, as I'll show you.
