An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A brand new powerful ultra-low-power Arm structure MCU armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is up to 1000 Hz out of the box, which makes latency non-existent for the competitive game.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Switch Layouts Between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron V1 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Hot-swappable

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist's angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Pre-lubed Keychron K Pro Switch

By optimizing the switch mold, the K Pro switch wobbles less than a standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed process on all the K Pro switches (exclude the clicky ones), no doubt this will ensure the best smoothness at your fingertips when typing.

All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers

The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky.

A serious (and fun) unit

I love this thing. It feels like a solid piece of equipment and it’s so satisfying to type on. I love the look of it too. I bought the model with the matte finish and didn’t realize it also had LEDs… but I find I actually like having them on and keep them lit most of the time. In my view, definitely worth the investment.

Better than I thought it would be

I'm shocked at how different this keyboard is compared to my old corsair k70 that I've been using for years. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking of getting into Custom Mechanical Keyboard

The price of this is amazing for its capabilities! Perfect for new builders!

This is my first keyboard build, and it was really easy to customize and after it sounded like heaven. This is my recommendation for new builders on a budget. To be fair, these switches are Gateron Blacks lubed with Krytox 205g0 so they are bound to sound good. But still amazing keyboard!
