What we like about Keychron K4 Pro QMK VIA Wireless

  • Full QMK/VIA support allows for extensive key remapping and macro customization.
  • High-quality double-shot PBT keycaps are durable and resist oil shine.
  • Hot-swappable PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches without soldering.
  • Excellent build quality with a rigid frame and internal sound-dampening foam.
  • Versatile connectivity with Bluetooth 5.1 for up to 3 devices and a stable USB-C wired mode.
  • South-facing RGB LEDs provide better compatibility with various keycap profiles.

What we don't like about Keychron K4 Pro QMK VIA Wireless

  • High-profile design often requires a separate wrist rest for ergonomic comfort.
  • Standard keycaps are not shine-through, making legends difficult to see in the dark.
  • Bluetooth latency is higher than 2.4GHz wireless, making it less ideal for competitive gaming.
  • Cramped 96% layout can lead to mistypes for those used to full-sized spacing.
  • Default Bluetooth sleep timeout (10 minutes) may be too aggressive for some users.

Verdict

The Keychron K4 Pro is a 96% layout wireless mechanical keyboard featuring QMK/VIA support for extensive key remapping and macro programming. It boasts a hot-swappable PCB, south-facing RGB LEDs, and double-shot PBT keycaps, delivering a premium typing experience with pre-lubed internal foam and silicone pads for sound dampening. While it offers versatile Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C connectivity compatible with Mac and Windows, its main drawbacks include a high-profile frame that may require a wrist rest for comfort and the lack of a 2.4GHz wireless dongle for lower-latency gaming.
