What a beauty

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.

9/10 Amazing keyboard overall

- 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.

Stop leaving 1 star reviews when you've not received the product.

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.

A Great Keyboard to get Started

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.

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.

OSA Profile ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps

To further leverage your typing experience, the V1 ISO version comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical angle) and ABS keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.

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. 

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

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.
