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.

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

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 stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock.

Great value

Delivery was quick and I love the keyboard. I previously had 2 mechanical keyboards that were around half the price of this one. Just blows them out of the water stock. Great value on sale and I recommend it highly if you are looking to get into this hobby as a beginner, like myself.

Surprisingly good for the price

Got the keyboard few days ago, I am surprised for how good it is for the price. Don't even need to mod anything, stabs are pretty good, no metal sound/resonance, brown switches are pretty good, highly recommend!

Perfect

I've been digging deep into the custom keyboards' world before buying me one, and then I decided to buy this keyboard. It's absolutely perfect for whoever wants to start with custom keyboards because it feels so good and it's FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE. The switches are hot-swappable but you can choose from 3 different types (I picked the browns, 10/10 would choose them again, supercreamy) , the default keycaps are good quality and pretty decent color and it's compatible with QMK and VIA softwares to re-map the keybinds (which is something very important and you should look for it in every keyboard). The RGB is nice, you can choose from a lot of color schemes and select the LED's brightness. They also give you a kit with the keyboard, very useful and the USB-C cable seems pretty durable, they give you also an USB-A to type C adapter if you don't have any USB-C port on your PC. Also, the shipping has been way too fast considering it was shipped from China (I'm in Italy).
The only flaw is the lack of a wireless option, but for this price you can close an eye for it.
Very satisfied, 100% would rebuy it again and again.

Love it

I love this keyboard because it's very beginner friendly for those who are starting with custom keyboards, or just aren't interested in deconstructing or building their own. I got brown switches and they are very creamy, I love the way they sound and everyone comments on them. The design is also very attractive. I've been using it for almost half a year now and I'm very satisfied with it. I just wish it also had a wireless option too, but hey, you get what you get for the budget

Very good keyboard for begginers

Very nice keyboard. I won't regret buying it. Only think I would say to buyers watch out for switches, I've got mine with red ones and it's not my type because it has no click when pressed and that is pretty bad for typing. I will recommend this size, it is small enough for every set-up but still has everything you need like easy to use F tabs that are good when doing something for school or research and when gaming to easier press alt+f4.
