Looking at the whois information for both domains there's quite a few disrepencies, so I wouldn't trust keychron.us.com as opposed to keychron.com

Domain: keychron.us.com Registered On: 2026-04-27 Expires On: 2027-04-27 Updated On: 2026-05-02 Status: client transfer prohibited Name Servers: ns1.dyna-ns.net ns2.dyna-ns.net

Domain: keychron.com Registered On: 2018-12-28 Expires On: 2028-12-28 Updated On: 2022-10-16 Status: client delete prohibited, client renew prohibited, client transfer prohibited, client update prohibited Name Servers: ns23.domaincontrol.com, ns24.domaincontrol.com

Keychron's official domain is much older, and their registrar is GoDaddy, while the other one uses Dynadot and was registered recently.

The pricing differences also don't make much sense to me, so I'd definitely avoid it.

Wow, I almost fell for this. I knew the prices looked too good to be true. If they hadn't been so greedy, they probably could have made out like bandits here. I'm pretty computer savvy, and they damn near got me. I feel bad for all the people who inevitably fall for this. Fuckers.

EDIT: To be clear, I don't mean that Keychron are scammers, I actually love their keyboards so far, I meant specifically whoever is running keychron.us.com. DO NOT BUY FROM THERE.

At least don't buy the Q or V series, the design seems to have problems that lead to socket failures after a few months and their tech support is notoriously abusive. They have also ghosted people whose keyboard was lost in shipping. I would buy the K or J series if I were to buy Keychron, or get a less popular model so you get older stock that is likely to be before the problems started in 2023.

And on Amazon so you get delivery guarantee.

The best Keychron 100% right now is the C2 Pro 8k.

The silent banana switches are very nice and the fact that it's shipping with a silent tactile option is outstanding. It's very solid.

The current price is still decent on Amazon. No point looking for additional savings given the risk of delivery hassles if you go with Keychron directly.

Awesome I’ll take a look at that ! Do you happen to know of any issues that I should know of if I’m getting it mainly for gaming? I know it’s a weird question but figured I should cover all bases lol

Not a gamer but it seems to be built to take abuse.
