Keychron Milk POM Switch

Made from advanced self-lubricating POM materials, the Keychron Milk POM Switch delivers an impressively smooth feel right out of the box and becomes even smoother with every keypress. Factory-lubed for greater consistency and paired with a deeper, more resonant thock sound in a low-profile design, it offers a refined and reliable typing experience in linear Red, tactile Brown, and tactile Banana switch variants.

Hot-Swappable

Since everyone has individual typing preferences, the K1 Ultra 8K features a hot-swappable design. You can easily replace each Keychron Milk POM switch in seconds to customize the keyboard to your needs — no soldering required.

Multifunction knob

Designed to streamline your workflow, the rotary knob provides smooth and precise volume adjustment by default. With Keychron Launcher, you can customize the knob for your preferred commands, such as screen brightness adjustment, zooming in/out, brush size changes, media control, or backlight settings management.

An epic core inside

Inside the K1 Ultra 8K is a powerful MCU with 1 MB of flash memory, providing unparalleled flexibility for advanced customization and expanded functionality. It achieves an ultra-fast 8K polling rate, ensuring every keypress is registered with near-zero latency and exceptional accuracy during the most demanding games and professional tasks.

Internal acoustic foam

The K1 Ultra 8K features a carefully engineered acoustic structure with IXPE foam, EPDM foam, PET film, and bottom case acoustic foam.
