K10 HE

Re "how is the the key visibility": It is literally blinding (read: useless) For it to work, A modification is required. It is tedious and time-consuming to apply. Be sure to get shine-through keycaps (pictures can be deceiving, and the particular variant with shine-through keycaps may be "sold out"

Re "you can just swap out the keycaps": That is only practical for keyboards with north-facing LEDs (like the K10 HE), especially for ISO variants (not even from Keychron, as they are likely "sold out", to never ever return) It is slightly easier for a standard 100% layout (or true TKL), but not by

Here is a list. And one focused on availability and ISO variants. At least the K10 HE doesn't have blinding light, but the selection of "switches" is much lower (many orders of magnitude) for a Keychron HE keyboard. Gotcha: Pictures on the product pages can be deceptive, e.g., if the keycaps are shi

Here is a list of full-size Keychron keyboards. Be aware of: Keycaps that are not shine-through, even if pictures seem to suggest they are. Resellers often also list it incorrectly (probably honest mistakes) The blinding light. The very limited selection of shine-through keycaps, especially for ISO

Re "The F1, F2, etc. are not lit at all": Yeah, that is the case for at least the Keychron K10 HE and K10 V2 (AKA 'K10 QMK') It is a design blunder by Keychron: On the blinding light keyboards, like the V6, F1-F12 were properly lit.

Re "RGB keyboard with shine-through keycaps": The K10 HE is one of Keychron's best in that respect (though it isn't saying that much when it comes to Keychron) Note: Regular, not the "special edition"s (they have opaque keycaps) Other notes: Being north-facing, there is a huuuge selection of third-p

Some specific notes: The regular K10 HE has shine-through keycaps (in contrast to the special edition (SE)). These keycaps have better light than the K10 V2 (e.g., due to the larger "font" (legend) and light pipes built into the "switches"), though the uniformity isn't great The K10 V2 may have over
