Keychron V1 QMK/VIA Custom Mechanical Keyboard
The Keychron V1 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard with QMK/VIA support. Anyone can intuitively master any keyboard keys or macro commands 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.
South-facing RGB
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.
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.
All-Around Customizable Keyboard
We designed every component to be easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, and case foam if you want.

This keyboard is very well constructed. It feels very solid, and it weighs a lot more than I expected. The lighting feature is very nice - it has a whole bunch of different modes you can toggle through, and the lights themselves seem very high quality.The key presses are crisp and responsive. I've always used Logitech rubber dome keyboards until now, and by comparison this keyboard sounds a bit more clacky, but it's not unpleasant. I could easily get used to it.What I couldn't get used to was the fact that the keys take just a little bit more force to press than my other keyboards. I have minor wrist pain occasionally in one of my wrists, and 15 minutes of typing on this keyboard started to make my fingertips tingle and wrist hurt slightly in that hand.The keys also sit slightly higher above the desk than I'm used to, and they are more prominent than a regular non-mechanical keyboard. I think that's probably just standard for a mechanical keyboard, but a wrist rest might be advisable for people making the switch.

I've previously used the Keychron V5 and was very satisfied with its key typing experience. When I found the more compact Keychron V1 for a slightly lower price, I didn't hesitate to purchase it.Firstly, I chose the brown switches, and the key typing is just as phenomenal as I expected. The keys are perfectly laid out, enhancing my productivity. It's not too heavy, making it portable, which is a great plus. Despite V1MAX being the wireless version, I opted for the V1 due to its translucent design. In the end, the wired connection turned out to be more stable, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with both the aesthetics and performance.One of the standout features for me was the evolution of the VIA web version. It made the setup incredibly easy, just plug and play. Additionally, I could utilize the Keychron Launcher web app, which added great value to the overall experience.The only regret I have is opting for the version without the knob. If you're focused on productivity, spending a bit more for the knob version is worthwhile. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compact yet efficient mechanical keyboard.

This thing is amazing right out of the box. I was looking for something i would still be able to program macros and such on using linux and the VIA software is a simple web interface that lets me do just that.Not as for the board itself keep in mind the casing *is* made entirely of plastic but it's very high quality. The keyboard is fairly hefty for it's size and doesn't slide around on my desk. You can do all manner of mod to the board but honestly i don't need to. With the k pro brown switches it both feels and sounds amazing. I don't love the keycap profile/colors but they get the job done until I can get around to swapping them out.Typing and gamin experience with this has been fantastic.for $100 you get a board you don't need to mod, but can if you so choose that is wonderful and I expect will last me many, many years.

This is one great keyboard. I initially bought it to replace a cheap office keyboard. But it's giving my 300$ custom keyboard a run for it's money.I got the red switches and the smoothness is on par with my zealios V2 65gm if not better. Which is insane considering how expensive the latter is. The stabs are lubed in the factory but the spacebar and enter key had a very slight rattle that I fixed with some dielectric grease. This usually isn't an issue but I am very picky on that. The PCB looks high quality and of course supports QMK which is a major requirement for me. For the first time you need to reboot while holding the VIA button for qmk to detect it which is kinda wierd and not that intuitive. The key caps are straight up better that the ducky pbt's on my home KeyBoard.Yes there is no shine though but I'd much prefer that over Lower quality swiches and capsThe only negative is the plastic case, its not too bad but it doesn't feel as high quality as the rest of the keyboard.

For quite a while I was looking to replace my modded womier k66 as a daily driver keyboard.All and all I like muted, yet firm feeling of acrylic/polycarbonate chassis, so I went ahead and ordered V1. My previous attempt at replacing daily driver was GMMK pro with lubed and filmed gateron mochi, but I was very underwhelmed by both quality, gasket performance and also some ergonomic decisions, so I stayed with k66.My preference are heavier linear switches, and I wanted to try Gateron CJ’s for a while. Short switches impression: yes, they are as smooth out of the box as people tell. They are smoother and have less wobble than gateron blacks, tiny bit lighter, but it is hard to notice. Similar to inks as well. Overall I am extremely happy with CJ’s.Back to keychron V1Points that I couldn’t find or didn’t research about V1 before getting it(CAPS part is just so people can find it while googling):KEYCHRON V1 IMPRESSIONS : This keyboard really does not need any mods to feel and sound good out of the box. It sounds muted because it is packed with foam/silicone and if you want a bit more hollow sound to board – you could remove silicone dampener.KEYCHRON V1 STABILIZERS : Stabilizers are lubed and tuned very well out of the box. This was first time in my life when I really did not have to do ANYTHING with stabilizers. They are screw in, they really are pretty good. No rattle, just clean stabs.Bottom out is not as firm as I anticipated.KEYCHRON V1 LATENCY : As primarily FPS player(Apex, Quake etc.) I did not notice anything worth mentioning regarding latency. It performs within a margin, which is about what to expect from mechanical board. It is not a concern.KEYCHRON V1 USB CABLE : Stock USB cable that came in the box did not work for me. Keyboard just wouldn’t be detected as keyboard by PC. Tried on several systems.KEYCHRON V1 KNOB : Knob has very pronounced steps and feels very sturdy, just as keyboard itself. Has stiffer operation than one on glorious products.KEYCHRON V1 VIA doesn’t detect : As of now – VIA does not detect keyboard straight away, so you need to do the drag-drop .json thing to remap it. Should be fixed ones github updates go throughKEYCHRON V1 BUILD QUALITY : Build quality is great. I really have nothing bad to say about it. No squeaks. Feels extremely solid for a plastic board.I am extremely happy with purchase and definitely would recommend it to anyone who does not want to blow whole lot of money on keyboard and at the same time doesn’t want to deal with all the issues that come with purchasing epomaker/skyloong/womier/glorious or any other 70-120$ keyboard. Yes it does not have gasket mount, but in my eyes good quality tray mount is way better than crappy gasket mount(like gmmk pro for example).

Bought this to be my travel to the office keyboard, my third mechanical, first without a number pad and first VIA and QMK.The brown switches are very nice, I still like my Glorious Pandas better, but these are nice and poppy feeling without being clicky. The keycaps have a quality feel and aid the sound and feel, the case seems well insulated and had a very premium weight and over all finish. Based on this one board I would definitely pick up another Keychron in the future and recommend it to others
