Keychron V1 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard

Keychron V1 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard is a 75% layout mechanical keyboard, with a tray, mount design, hot-swappable switches, south-facing RGB, programmable knob, 1000 Hz polling rate, double-shot PBT keycaps, QMK/VIA support, and more. Everything is customizable. V1 comes with a fully assembled version, but users can personalize every part of the keyboard with ease to create their ultimate typing experience.

This budget-friendly keyboard offers a unique Mac layout that retains the same multimedia and function keys as the Apple keyboard, while still being compatible with Windows devices. It comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems, allowing users to save two different layouts on the keyboard.

V1 comes in the non-knob and knob versions. The programmable knob, one of the most popular features of the Keychron keyboards, is designed to enhance the creative workflow. It allows users to easily customize their favorite keys and macros, such as zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume or selecting video clips of photos.

Unlike Keychron’s previous keyboard models, which have slight variations to appeal to the many unique needs of seasoned mechanical keyboard users, V1 is ideal for entry-level users. The barebone version is available at an accessible price of $64 USD whereas the fully assembled version is $84 USD.

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

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.
