EXPERT FEATURES

Keychron V1

• The V1 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard ready for any situation.
• It’s a great option to introduce you to the custom keyboard world. With its compact 75% layout, QMK/VIA support, acoustic silicone pad, and double-shot PBT keycaps, the V1 is designed for ultra typing comfort and boost productivity.

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.

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.

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 right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

• These double-shot PBT keycaps have 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.

Program V1 with QMK & VIA

• With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard.
• The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.

• 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.
• 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.
