Keychron V3 QMK/VIA Custom Mechanical Keyboard - Knob Version
The Keychron V3 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 V3 is designed to be able to assemble easily, so you can customize the hardware and software with endless possibilities.
Hot-swappable
The pre-lubed 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 linear red 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 V3 to your device with a cable, import the V3 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 V3 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 V3 with a laptop through a hub to ensure enough power supply. For the same reason, please turn off the keyboard backlight if the V3 is connecting with a tablet.
PBT Keycaps & 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 V3.
The V3 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, knob and case foam if you want.

I absolutely love this keyboard! The build quality is outstanding, and it feels fantastic to type on. The functions are seamless, making it perfect for both work and gaming. The features are top-notch, offering everything I need and more.The brown keys are the highlight for me—they feel incredibly crisp and organic with just the right amount of tactile feedback. Typing on this keyboard is such a satisfying experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium keyboard!

Absolutely fantastic keyboard. I've had it for a few months now, and it's been a joy to use. Worth every penny.Only downside is it's quite the collector of pet hair! But such is the way with most mechanical keyboards.My favourite way to customise it has been to set the knob as a sideways scroll. It comes in handy so much!

Extremely good quality, love the sound and its easy to configure. It isn’t light so it doesn’t randomly slide while typing and just stays were you put it

I really enjoy Keychron keyboards. I also want wired keyboard so no recharging worries and fast response. This keyboard is almost the best layout for me (main keyboard + directional Keys + volume knob). I love the volume knob and separate directional keys section and it doesn't take up my entire keyboard tray.Dislikes:1. LEDs do not enable the ability to see the labels on each key in lowlight2. LED settings tend to change without any configuration intervention - goes to the horrible 'Breathing' setting which is annoying.

TL;DR If you're a programmer or do a lot of typing, buy the Keychron V3 wired. It's decent value for the features and it's built like a brick. You won't be sorry.NOTE: This is a TKL keyboard (no number pad, which I prefer)Once you go with a decent mechanical keyboard, you'll never go back. I spend 10-14 hours 6 days a week (not including any gaming I might do). I started with an IQUNIX that lasted about 18 months before a few keys stopped working properly, even after swapping out the switches (bad board, no spare parts from them out of warranty). I then went through a Steel Series APEX 7 keyboard just after the warranty expired. Spacebar switch seems faulty (intermittent). It's another "project keyboard", unfortunately.So far, this Keychron is VERY solid. My only gripe would be that I'd like shine through keycaps at this price point, but it's a minor criticism (I have an under monitor light that works well enough...I touch type). For potential purchasers...this thing feels SOLID....even compared to prior keyboards. For a keyboard that's wired (no battery) it's very dense, and should never be thrown at something in anger.Finally, if you're used to flat/slim keyboards and tend to have "saggy wrists" when you type that rest on the desktop, you will need a wrist rest. The one from my APEX 7 is a perfect height.

I recently just decided to go for a new keyboard after four years of using an old one. This keyboard was definitely the most worth-it buy with bright RGB, great sound and feel in typing. Would recommend to a friend.

This is one of your best options when it comes to a keyboard that has that lubed feel out of the box. It is a sensational value, in my opinion.Switches are smooth and quite. Keycaps feel very high quality. Base is HEAVY but is made with plastic (plus in my book, I think the brushed/flat aluminum look of a lot of keyboard chassis' is tacky. Plus no pinging from chassis). Switches are a clear upgrade from the Gateron brown's, which I use daily for work on a Keychron C1. More tactile, more silent, and more smooth. Mine is stock, but this seems like a great platform for modding as well.This existence of this keyboard has signaled to me that the the mechanic keyboard market has reached another maturation milestone. My first mechanical keyboard experience was the original Blackwidow, so going from that, to the cheaper alternatives when the Cherry patent expired (Redragon), to this, is pretty awesome to think about. The innovation and passion that rose from the ashes of that patent has culminated into keyboards like this; they are just so smooth and consistent out of the box. Very nice to your wallet and no fuss required.

I'm a long time lurker, first time builder. I knew I wanted a keyboard. I priced out the bare bones version + switches + keycaps... it did not make sense to go that route. This keyboard feels quite premium for being plastic. My wife's first reaction was how heavy it is (in a good way). She's not much of an enthusiast but now wants me to build her a keyboard.So it starts...As for the build of this keyboard, the switches come pre-lubed which means you get to save yourself the time, money, and effort. Everything sounds quite premium with a nice deep thud. The spacebar is noticeably hollow, but upon searching the internet superhighway, that is a common problem with common fixes if one so desires to fix it. Turns out having a long rectangular piece of hollow plastic means the hollow plastic will sound hollow. Who knew.Good keyboard for the current price of $99! You may or may not care about the knob. If you don't care, save yourself $10 and get the version without it.
