UHK looks amazing, thanks. Pricy, though, and I have to see about losing the Function key row.



The UHK is moderately annoying if you frequently need to do chorded combinations that involve the escape key, function keys, or cursor control keys. Since you have to access those keys through an modifier key, the chord you need to hit requires adding that key. You can work around it to some extent with macros and key remapping but it still makes me wish I had a third hand.

I like the UHK in terms of build quality and functionality but it would be much, much better if it were a 75% layout instead of a 60% layout.


Function keys are still accessible on a mod layer.

Pricy sure, but really great build quality. Except the plastic feet. Buy extras, they will break.


Just ordered it ! I have to get ready to lose $100 on shipping costs back and forth to the US in case I have to return in 2 weeks.

I am returning keychron S1 I recently ordered from Amazon.

I’ve the years every now and then I try out mech kbs to ease my RSI (shoulder) issues and nothing stuck and I kept going back to MacBook just because of the convenience of the trackpad between the fingers.

I will see if the UHK is a keeper :)
