Keychron - V3 8K QMK Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard

KEYCHRON V3 8K

Meet the Keychron V3 8K — a precision-engineered 80% layout mechanical keyboard built for maximum performance. It redefines responsiveness with state-of-the-art 8K polling rate technology, operating exclusively in wired mode to deliver the lowest possible latency. Enhanced with multiple layers of sound-absorbing foam, the V3 8K delivers quiet and stable typing, offering the precision and control sought by top-level competitive gamers and enthusiasts.

Programmable with QMK & Launcher.

Open-source QMK firmware provides endless possibilities for key mapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize every key with the Keychron Launcher web app.

Access Anytime, Anywhere

Keychron Launcher is a web-based configurator you can use at the office, school, laboratory, or workplace — anywhere you have internet access. Configure your keyboard online at any time without needing to download or install files. No hassle, no problems.

Compatible with All Platforms

As a web-based tool, Keychron Launcher supports all operating systems. Customize and program your keyboard on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more. Enjoy unparalleled flexibility with compatibility across Chrome, Edge, and Opera browsers.

Secure Data Entry

Every day, you enter passwords, contact details, your home address, and other sensitive information on your keyboard. Our keyboards use open-source QMK firmware, allowing the community to review the code for security and ensuring there are no hidden features, giving you full control over the security of your entered data.

Always Up to Date

Keychron Launcher is continuously updated, so you always have access to the latest version. You do not need to download updates or wait for installation.

WIRED 8K SPEED

The V3 8K achieves an 8K polling rate, delivering the lowest possible input latency and exceptionally responsive performance. A stable, high-bandwidth wired connection is essential for reliably maintaining this high 8K data transmission speed.

A Powerful Core Inside the Keyboard

A powerful ARM-based MCU with 256K Flash memory and open-source QMK firmware provides greater flexibility for programmers. The polling rate is 8000 Hz (adjustable from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz), making latency virtually imperceptible even in tournament gaming, for optimal performance.

Customize Every Element

To create a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component for easy assembly. This allows you to personalize and customize each component to your preferences.

Suitable for All Devices

Designed for Mac users while maintaining compatibility with Windows devices, the V3 8K is equipped with a system switch and an additional set of personalized Keycaps for Windows and macOS. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard — one for each system.

Double-shot PBT Keycaps with OSA Profile

They have a height similar to the OEM profile and a shape close to SA. We call them OSA Keycaps (OEM spherical angled). PBT Keycaps offer excellent oil resistance, improve typing comfort, and prevent legends from wearing off.

HOT-SWAP

Every detail matters for personalized typing comfort, which is why we give you full control. You can hot-swap every switch in the V3 8K with nearly all 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches available on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering. Customize your typing experience to your preferences in seconds.

All-New Screw-in PCB Stabilizers

Our upgraded stabilizers now feature reinforced side walls around the stem, providing extra protection and significantly improving stability. These “walls” create a stronger connection between the switches and Keycaps, ensuring smoother and more reliable typing on large keys such as the spacebar, shift, enter, and delete.

Unlock Dynamic Backlight Control

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

Per-key RGB

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

MIX RGB

With Mix RGB, you can divide your keyboard into two custom lighting zones, each with unique effects. Create creative, contrasting combinations to make your entire setup stand out with vibrant style.

Keychron Super Switch

Our exclusive Keychron Super switch uses a new mold with unparalleled precision. Each switch is tested for professional-grade quality and has a lifespan of up to 50 million clicks, ensuring excellent reliability and high performance during long typing sessions. Its new light-diffusing design in the transparent top housing also provides high light transmission and a more even, brighter backlight effect.
