Our Take
The Keychron V1 is a 75% layout mechanical keyboard that's fully customizable without being intimidating. Hot-swappable sockets let you change switches without soldering — experiment with linear, tactile, or clicky switches anytime.
QMK/VIA programmable firmware means you can remap every key, create macros, and build custom layers through an intuitive graphical interface. The 75% layout keeps function keys and arrow keys while eliminating the numpad for a compact, ergonomic footprint.
Double-shot PBT keycaps resist shine and wear. South-facing RGB LEDs prevent interference with Cherry-profile keycaps. The frosted translucent case adds a subtle aesthetic glow. Includes keycaps and switches for both Mac and Windows layouts.
