This keyboard checks all the boxes for a good productivity keyboard, in outstanding ways, except the backlight.
1. Premium typing experience. The banana switches I got offer crisp tactile feedback yet are smooth and relatively quiet. Both the typing sound and the keycap material feel much more solid than the common membrane keyboards.
2. Versatile connectivity. It supports USB-C and USB-A wired connections, USB-C and USB-A 2.4GHz wireless connections with dangles directly stored in the keyboard, and Bluetooth with 3 devices. It also offers a physical switch to switch between Mac and Windows layout if you use both. I also connect it through Bluetooth to my Android phone, it makes typing messages a breeze.
3. Powerful customization without bloated software. Unlike Logitech and Razer keyboards that use drivers that constantly eat up system resources, the firmware on this keyboard can be customized through a webpage and you don't need to install anything on your computer! It also offers way more customization possibilities than other keyboard drivers. Besides common features like key remapping and customizable shortcuts, you can do fancy things like tapping Ctrl and Alt to copy and paste while still using them as Ctrl and Alt in key combinations; toggling to a function layer that realizes the numpad in the alphabet region; etc.
The only complaint I have is the backlight. It uses the "south-facing LED", which is only good for side-printed shine-through keycaps. It works terribly with the keycaps that come with the keyboard. Since I can touch type, so non-shine-through keycaps are no problem. However, I do want the backlight to outline the key clusters in a dark environment. However, as shown in the photo, the light from the function keys and the navigation cluster are blocked by the keycaps when viewed from a typing position. The shift key also blocks the Caps Lock indicator under that key. If you increase the backlight brightness to make them more visible, then the LEDs from the alphanumeric region would be uncomfortably bright since they directly shine into your eyes. According to my research, south-facing LED works poorly with conventional top-printed shine-through keycaps, so if you want to change the keycaps, the selection is limited. Moreover, despite of having indicator light for Caps lock, the connection mode, and the battery level, there is no indicator for the function layers. So you don't know if you are in the Mac or Windows mode, or on your customized numpad layer, game layer, etc.
Ironically, they offer shine-through keycaps and layer indicators on their budget C-series keyboards. It is weird that Keychron would offer less features on their higher end models. For professionals like me, features are always more important than premium materials.

Perfect for productivity except the poor backlight
This keyboard checks all the boxes for a good productivity keyboard, in outstanding ways, except the backlight. 1. Premium typing experience. The banana switches I got offer crisp tactile feedback yet are smooth and relatively quiet. Both the typing sound and the keycap material feel much more solid than the common membrane keyboards. 2. Versatile connectivity. It supports USB-C and USB-A wired connections, USB-C and USB-A 2.4GHz wireless connections with dangles directly stored in the keyboard, and Bluetooth with 3 devices. It also offers a physical switch to switch between Mac and Windows layout if you use both. I also connect it through Bluetooth to my Android phone, it makes typing messages a breeze. 3. Powerful customization without bloated software.

It also offers way more customization possibilities than other keyboard drivers.
