Keychron C3 Pro

There are upgraded models from Keychron, and competing models from other companies, but for the price and features, I doubt they can beat it…especially if you get it at $30.

What Keychron’s C3 Pro has going for it is perception and price. Both Logitech and SteelSeries keyboards showcase additional features for an added cost. In today’s climate, affordability is often seen (mistakenly) as lacking or cheap. With the Keychron C3 Pro, you get the perfect melding of form and function and a starting price point that’s too attractive to overlook.

For the money, the Keychron C3 Pro must be the most affordable mechanical keyboard on the market. Keychron hasn’t cut any corners. The switches are hot-swappable and there’s an LED under every keycap. The keycaps are shine-thru types and the double-shot design feels well made. The best bit about this keyboard is the ability to program the keyboard using VIA. At this price, you can’t go wrong. If you’re looking to get into mechanical keyboards and don’t want a wireless model, the Keychron C3 Pro is impossible to beat.

The gasket-mounted design and integration with QIA make the C3 Pro a fantastic value. Look no further if you're in the market for a new mechanical keyboard and want something on a budget.
