One potentially frustrating difference, though: The left-hand Control and Function keys are flipped in position. It's essentially the same size and layout as Apple's smaller Magic Keyboard, but with a number pad.

While it's a full keyboard with a number pad, it's set up more like a laptop keyboard with half-height up and down arrow keys squeezed between two full-size left and right arrow keys tucked below the right Shift key. The keyboard's scissor keys give it a responsive key feel, and it will last for up to three months on a single charge. It has a slim, lightweight body with matte-finished stainless steel on the top and sides and ABS plastic on the bottom.

What's better is the keyboard is set up to work with Windows, MacOS, iOS/iPadOS and Android devices. The BK10 is a Bluetooth keyboard that can be connected to up to three devices and lets you quickly switch between connections with keys above its numeric keypad. Battery life is good, but keeping the backlight on all the time, especially at its higher settings, will drain it fast. Another switch lets you toggle between using Bluetooth (it can connect to up to three devices) or a USB-C-to-USB-A cable. A switch on the back left lets you pick between MacOS/iOS or Windows/Android.

Out of the box, it is set up for Mac use, but Windows-related keycaps are in the box, too. (A hot-swappable version with an RGB backlight will be available soon.) Also, if you go with the Keychron switch version, the switches are hot-swappable which lets you customize your typing experience simply by pulling out and replacing the switches without any soldering. I tested all of the Keychron switches and preferred the blue switches for their crisp sound and feel but all three options worked well.
The keyboard is available with Keychron's own low-profile optical mechanical switches - brown tactile, blue clicky or red linear - with a white LED backlight or Gateron low-profile mechanical switches with an RGB backlight. The body, which is made from aluminum on top and a plastic on the bottom, is lightweight and sturdy. The slim, compact mechanical keyboard is a 75% size, meaning it doesn't have a 10-key number pad but still has function and directional keys. If your office has reopened but you're not going to be using the same workspace every day, the K3 Bluetooth keyboard is a fantastic option. Basically, don't leave the backlight on or you'll be charging it daily. Battery life is rated at up to 84 hours over Bluetooth without the backlight, but a mere 12 hours with it on. It can't be used as a wired keyboard, although you can use it while it's charging and connected wirelessly. It can also be used with a 2.4GHz USB receiver. The keyboard connects via Bluetooth to up to three devices.
Key functions can be programmed with Razer's Synapse software, though. Oddly enough, so are the backlight brightness controls. Also, secondary key functions aren't illuminated, meaning the symbols on the number keys and media controls are difficult to read. In between, however, the legends can be tricky to see. The same goes for when the LEDs are near or at their brightest and RGB backlighting can be adjusted. With the backlight off, the key legends are easy to read.

There's no RGB LED lighting here like the company's gaming keyboards: The Pro Type has only white LED-backlit keys. The keycaps have a soft-touch coating, so you won't be tapping on straight plastic all day. (You can get an idea of what they sound like on Razer's site.) With 45 grams of actuation force, they're not so light that you'll make mistakes - and the mechanical keys don't require so much force that your fingers tire out. Razer's orange switches are tactile but not clicky, so you feel the actuation but they're relatively quiet you'll just hear a muted clack when the keys bottom out. But once you get used to it, you won't want to type on anything else. If you're coming from a laptop keyboard or a typical slim office membrane keyboard, the Pro Type mechanical keyboard might take some adjustment.
