#1 Keychron Q1 Ultra 8K
5.0

The white-on-dark legends are clean, well aligned, and easy to read, and the double-shot construction should prevent them from wearing away.

Pros: build quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: portability, ergonomics

#2 Keychron Q3 HE
4.4

Legend visibility was positive overall, with crisp legends and usable visibility despite non-shine-through keycaps.

Pros: build quality, switch feel

Cons: switch options

#3 Keychron K4 HE
4.2

Legend visibility was generally good for printed legends, but Special Edition non-shine-through legends hurt illuminated readability.

Pros: customization options, design aesthetics

Cons: switch options, key spacing

#4 Keychron Q1 HE
3.9

Legend feedback is mixed: one reviewer praised clear legends, while another found subtle typesetting and process issues.

Pros: value for money, software quality

Cons: switch options, ergonomics

#5 Keychron K10 HE
3.6

Legend visibility was mixed: one reviewer found the text much more legible, while others wanted shine-through legends for dark use.

Pros: typing feel, design aesthetics

#6 Keychron K2 HE
3.5

Legend visibility depended on version: opaque Special Edition caps drew criticism, while font clarity and shine-through options were praised elsewhere.

Pros: value for money, design aesthetics

Cons: cable quality, ergonomics

#7 Keychron Q6 HE
3.0

Legend visibility was the clearest lighting caveat because one reviewer wanted the key legends themselves to light up.

Pros: build quality, keycap quality

Cons: switch options, portability

#8 Keychron V1 Ultra 8K
2.0

The solid PBT keycaps do not have shine-through legends, so RGB illuminates around the keys rather than making the labels easier to see.

Pros: gaming performance, overall satisfaction

Cons: polling rate, frame rigidity
