Critics were impressed by the Keychron K10, and they recommended it for office users. They praised its Gateron mechanical switches, full-size design, and adjustable incline settings. Testers were also pleased with its customizable RGB backlighting and multi-device Bluetooth pairing. However, they were disappointed by its so-so latency and lack of customization software.

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…
our Verdict
The quality of the Keychron K10 amazed experts, and they unanimously endorsed it for office users and gamers. Testers at RTINGS praised its full-size construction. However, if you prefer a smaller TenKeyLess (80% size) device, see our Keychron K8 review. Reviewers from Tom’s Guide loved its incline-adjustable design that can rest at 3.6°, 8.4° and 11°.
However, it doesn’t have a wrist rest. Tests revealed that it has RGB backlighting with individually lit keys and good color mixing. It supports both wired and Bluetooth connections, pairing wirelessly with up to 3 devices. Analyst tested a variant with Gateron Brown tactile switches, recording a 51 gf operating force and 2.8 mm pre-travel distance.
Typing on it proved to be pleasant and quiet. Users who prefer low-profile switches should see our Keychron K7 review. However, the 10.8 ms wired latency and 24.3 ms Bluetooth latency were deemed to be a tad too high for high-octane games.

| True Score | 76 | 79 | ||
| Market Context | – | The Keychron K10 and the Keychron K12 are similar because they both have wired and Bluetooth connectivity, and both feature Gateron mechanical switches. However, the K12 is a smaller 65% sized compact keyboard, whereas the K10 is a slightly bigger TenKeyLess (80% size) board. Unlike the K10, which is available with just Gateron Brown, Blue, and Red switches, the K12 is available with a wider range of Gateron and Keychron switches. Our Keychron K12 review offers an in-depth analysis of the K12. | Unlike the K10, which has mechanical Gateron switches, the Logitech MX Keys feature non-mechanical scissor switches. The Logitech model also has white backlighting, while the Keychron K10 boasts RGB backlighting with per-key illumination. Both keyboards support triple-device Bluetooth pairing, but the Logitech model has an additional USB wireless receiver. | Featuring the same range of Gateron Blue, Brown, and Red switches, the Keychain C2 and Keychron K10 are somewhat similar full-size keyboards. However, unlike the Keychron K10, which boasts both wired and wireless Bluetooth connectivity, the C2 is wired only. |
