Keychron - V1 8K QMK Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard

KEYCHRON V1 8K

Meet the Keychron V1 8K—a meticulously crafted 75% layout mechanical keyboard built for ultimate performance. It redefines responsiveness with a cutting-edge 8K polling rate, exclusively wired for the lowest possible latency. By combining a gasket-mounted design with multiple sound-absorbing foams, the V1 8K creates a uniquely stable and quiet typing setting, offering the precision and control sought by competitive gamers and enthusiasts.

Program with QMK & Launcher.

The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app.

WIRED FOR 8K SPEED

The V1 8K achieves an 8K polling rate, ensuring the lowest possible input lag and ultra-responsive performance. The stable, high-bandwidth wired connection is essential for reliably maintaining this high 8K data transmission speed.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM architecture MCU equipped with 256K Flash and QMK open-source firmware to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 8000 Hz (adjustable from 125Hz to 8000Hz) , which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games, delivering optimal performance.

Customize every part

To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be able to assembled easily. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component as you wish.

Gasket mount Design

Silicone pads between the top and bottom cases reduce acoustic resonance, maintaining gasket flexibility and enhancing typing sound. The keyboard's bottom has an acoustic pad, improving sound quality with a slight impact on flexibility. Users seeking more flexibility can opt to remove the acoustic pad.

Suitable for All Devices

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the V1 8K 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.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

It has a similar height to that of the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

HOT-SWAPPABLE

Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the V1 8K with almost all of the 3-pin and 5-pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.

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’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smoother.

Unlock Dynamic Backlit Control

Go beyond standard presets with 22+ RGB backlight settings — including a static white option. Our advanced lighting engine includes two powerful features to fuel your creativity: Per-key RGB and Mix RGB. You can further fine-tune and remap keys with ease, crafting your unique style with vivid, dynamic RGB control.

Per-key RGB

With Per-key RGB, every single key is a digital brushstroke. This feature lets you individually customize the color of each key, transforming your keyboard into a vibrant canvas.

MIX RGB

With Mix RGB, you can split your keyboard into two custom lighting zones, each with unique effects. Create creative, high-contrast combinations to make your entire setup pop with vibrant style.

Keychron Super Switch

Our exclusive Keychron Super switch adopts a new mold with unparalleled precision. Every switch is tested for pro-grade quality and has a lifespan of up to 50 million clicks, providing great reliability and high performance for long typing sessions. Its new light affection structure on its transparent top housing also ensures high light transmittance and a more consistent, brighter backlight effect.
