All-Around Customizable Keyboard
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be easily assembled so you can customize and adjust any or every parts the way you want.
Note: The screw heads are molded into the case, so they have a very strong grip and won’t fall out.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box, which makes latency non-existent for the competitive game.
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.
Program with QMK & Launcher.
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app.
Click here to use Keychron Launcher* Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge browser to open the Launcher and connect the keyboard to your device via wired mode.
Programmable Knob
Designed to enhance your creative workflow, its aluminum rotary encoder allows you to customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software with ease.
You can easily customize the V1's knob to your desired key or macro commands like zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.
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. 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. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron V1 also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.

Customer Reviews
I'm a newbie to mechanical keyboards and have been using MacBooks or low profile crappy Windows keyboards for years. The upgrade is hard to overstate. The keyboard is heavy and sturdy. There is a fullness to the typing feel that's hard to describe, it's not hollow. This is a fantastic keyboard for the price. And it looks pretty too.
The keyboard is great out of the box my only thing aesthetic wise was that in the ISO layout it only had a red keycap where the esc key is and the ansi one has 2
- Keycaps feel delightful to type with.
- Sounds very nice out of the box with browns
- Sounds beautiful with durock poms, new stabs and some foam modding.
- Build quality is fantastic and can compete with much more expensive boards.
I had one small issue with the backlighting of the keyboard but managed to get it fixed with some help from the support team.
Come on people, christ, if you have not actually received your product yet, maybe don't leave a 1-star review, or better yet, no review at all until you can actually review the product. Idiots.
The keyboard is lovely:
- The switches are lovely to type on and have a very pleasant sound and feel (I got Browns)
- The design and quality of the keycaps is phenomenal, especially the rounded design of the keycaps and the colour palette.
- The build quality is more than decent, I appreciated the use of foam on the back and the lubed switches, plus the partly clear plastic of the frame.
The only downside is that I wish the keyboard was wireless, though it's not too much of a problem to use a cable.
Other than that, I'm really happy with my purchase.
