Product Description
Keychron V1 QMK/VIA Custom Mechanical Keyboard – Knob Version
The Keychron V1 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard with QMK/VIA support. Anyone can intuitively master any keyboard keys or macro commands (incl. the knob) through the VIA software. The V1 is designed to be able to assemble easily, so you can customize the hardware and software with endless possibilities.
Hot-swappable
The Keychron K Pro mechanical switches come with an optimized mold with more precise positioning, and less wobbliness will certainly improve your fingertip feel. The Keychron switch is durable enough with unrivaled tactile responsiveness on the tactile brown switch and up to 50 million keystroke lifespan.
The hot-swappable sockets supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.), so you can customize your favorite switches without soldering.
Program Each Key and Macro with QMK/VIA
Simply connect the V1 to your device with a cable, import the V1 keymap JSON file into the VIA software, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on macOS, Windows, or Linux operating systems, e.g.: create a macro command of a screenshot on macOS. Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions.
A brand new ultra-low-power Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU which is powerful, and armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.
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 wobbly. The big keys’ typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron V1 also supports third-party stabilizers including Cherry or Durock.
Wired Connectivity
A reliable USB Type-C wired connection with 1000 Hz polling rate and NKRO make sure you won’t miss a beat no matter cranking out emails or code.
Note: Please avoid connecting the V1 with a laptop through a hub to ensure enough power supply. For the same reason, please turn off the keyboard backlight if the V1 is connecting with a tablet.
Double-shot PBT Keycaps & South-facing RGB
The V1 comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable and subtle fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use.
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the V1.
All-Around Customizable Keyboard
We designed every component to be easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, knob and case foam if you want.

Love it !!!
I’m learning touch typing at old age. I was looking for good keyboard with longer key travel, but did not expect this level of quality. Everything is pretty much perfect. Beautiful to look at, good key action (brown switch) with some light tactile feel, nice sound of the keys (creamy = muffled, deeper). The keys have no wobble, while shape of the key makes easier to detect the edge (to avoid other keys). Upper rows are sloped up and bottom has feet at the end. Keyboard is quite heavy and very stable. I appreciate ability to switch between Mac and Windows and extra key tops for it. USB-C cable is of high quality.It comes with tools to pull the key tops or keys. Even the box it came in is nice (I’m going to save it). In spite of my poor typing skills I’ve worked with many computer keyboards (starting with IBM), but this keyboard is the finest by far. Highly recommended.

Great custom keyboard for a beginner
It has some weight to it; making it feel very premium.The keycaps feel nice; the knob is useful too.I ended up swapping the brown switches to some Gateron milky yellows and it truly improved the sound and feel.I love that you can make this keyboard your own by customizing switches and other stuff. This is a great first custom keyboard if you are new to the hobby.Just look up some YouTube videos on how to swap switches and keycaps and other custom keyboard tips.

THE BEST BOARD EVER!!!
I have used Corsair, Razer, Duckey, Steelseries, and many custom boards I made and this is the best out of the box board I have ever used. The quality and workmanship are unmatched!! The feel and sound is just perfect. I opened the box, set it up, and used it like it came out of the box with nothing but pleasure ever since. All I can say is WOW. I have searched high and low for that perfect feel and sound. This is it look no further.

Quality of life issues keep it just shy of great
Update to below: After following some suggestions online, I was able to make the spacebar sound considerably better and I think I will hold on to this keyboard even though I’m still a bit on the fence. (I stuffed the spacebar with some foam and sticky tack.) The overall feel is fantastic and the sound of the other keys is great, but the issues below are still a bit disappointing. If you do order this keyboard, I highly recommend trying out some others alongside it just to see which ones feels and sounds best to you.I wanted very badly to like this keyboard. I’m, even typing up my review on it right now just to give it one last chance to impress me. But sadly, I think how the space bar sounds is going to be the deal-breaker.For some reason, the space bar is considerably louder/”sharper” sounding than all the other keys. So every time I finish a word, it is loudly punctuated by the space bar. While I appreciate the space bar’s enthusiasm in announcing to all present that I’ve finished typing a word, this is not something I want or need.I’ve seen some people saying elsewhere online that this is normal or that you need to fill the space bar with foam or something, but the other keyboard I’ve been trying out does not suffer from this issue, with the space bar sounding more or less like all the other keys. I don’t think the new keyboard I was prepared to spend $100 on should need a piece of foam, but maybe some people regard this as a feature rather than a bug. I’ve now switched over to the other keyboard I recently ordered and I’m back to having a normal sound when I use the space bar.I was also surprised by and did not like was the fact that the characters on the stock key caps are not translucent to the RGB lighting underneath. Now, I’m not someone who usually wants the letters on my keyboard going crazy with a bunch of colors, but having characters illuminated for when I need visibility is a major selling point for me. Without character translucence the RGB actually makes everything harder to see. And I’m saying this as a touch typist who only occasionally looks at the actual keys.Now for the positive. The keyboard seems very solidly built and I absolutely love the feeling of the keys and the key presses. Even the shape of the keys is great and I love how my fingers feel on them. The sound of the keys other than the space bar is also top notch. The volume/mute knob is another nice touch that feels very solid/well made and gives the keyboard a little old-fashioned analog flair.I also like the coloring of the keyboard keys, since it provides some visual cues without being completely over the top; though honestly this isn’t a huge plus for me.If it weren’t for the issues listed above, I would definitely keep and use this keyboard whenever I didn’t need a number pad. But as it stands, it’s sadly going to go back to Amazon.

High Quality
I purchased this keyboard for my son’s birthday, and he loves it! The build quality is solid, and it works perfectly with his gaming PC. He enjoys typing on it, and the compact design saves space on his desk. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality mechanical keyboard!

Best quality out of all brands
Keychron is a brand that I usually recommend it to friends when deciding for a mechanical keyboard that just has everything out of the box.My old keyboard broke and decided to buy one for my daily setup. I code and game a lot in a daily basis and it has been working out great for me.The quality of the keyboard is seamless to any other brands I have used. It is ahead of the game by a long shot which is why the price might be a little bit more expensive than other keyboards around Amazon, but it is a great investment especially if you make great use of your desktop for long hours.

Muy buen teclado, se siente de buena calidad, las teclas se sienten suaves y despues de 1 año sigue luciendo y funcionando sin ningun problema, venia de switchs y tamaño distinto pero no me tomo nada acostumbrarme.El knob es muy bueno, lo uso para volumen principalmente pero siendo alguien que hace muchas actividades con audio, es hermoso
