Feels great

The keys and switches feel great, the Bluetooth connection feels seamless. Would love some more colour schemes to choose from as I'm using the current one for work and I wouldn't say no to getting one for home.

Amazing build quality, no connection issues and programmable

I was looking for a mechanical keyboard that felt similar to my membrane keyboard (using the brown, low profile, Gateron, hot-swappble keys) but was solidly built and could be reprogrammed. The keychron keyboard is a perfect fit. It meets all of my needs, and I'm not worried about the keyboard failing.

I also like the fact that the switches are swappable (which is extremely easy with the supplied tools) and is easily programmable. I am buying a second one for work now.

The only improvement for this keyboard would be to allow the battery to be replaceable.

Excellent keyboard with a few drawbacks

Overall an excellent keyboard. The size, feel, sound, and customization with VIA make this just about perfect for me. The main drawback is no 2.4ghz connectivity option. Bluetooth is convenient however it doesn't work when having to enter LUKS disk encryption password on boot, or if needing to access the bios - both of these require the cable to be plugged in. My old keyboard with a 2.4ghz receiver had no issue functioning for these cases so unfortunately I am stuck plugging this new keyboard in every boot. Aside from these minor issues, it is by far the best keyboard I have ever used and I am very happy with it. The low-profile has plenty of travel, the lighting is a plus (although the keys are not shine-through) and the multi-device support is very useful. I would definitely recommend (and have to a few friends already).

Awesome

Bit overwhelmed with the choice from keychron and lost in the 1000s of videos and reviews. This fit my needs well: software development on both windows plus macos, gaming on windows and simple clean design with premium feel.

I went from a full sized logitech gaming keyboard, g910 that started double typing in just over a year or so. I havent missed the numeric keypad once.

Best keyboard I have used!

I just purchased this keyboard with Gateron brown hotswappable switches. I switched from the K1 SE v5 which I had trouble adapting too because of the gaps between the keys. So I made a lot of mistakes while typing. This keyboard fixes the problem that I once had. Feels great to type on and having PBT keycaps is a bonus. Highly recommended!

Program with QMK & VIA.

QMK/VIA means endless possibilities for a fluid workflow. Thanks to our engineering team, it's the first time in history that a wireless mechanical keyboard has these kinds of capabilities right out of the box.

Simply connect the K1 Pro to your device with a cable, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on any system (macOS, Windows, or Linux). 

Check out the video above demonstrating how to remap the Light Effect key (located on the K1 Pro’s top right corner) to an Eject key with the VIA software, so you can get a shortcut to put your Mac to sleep (Command-Option-Eject), or even remap the fn key in a breeze. It’s never been so intuitive and flexible to personalize your own keymap.

An ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU which is powerful, and equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.

Get the keymap working on VIA

Since the VIA code for the K1 Pro is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized, so you will need to manually download and import the K1 Pro keymap.

Please download the keymap JSON file below. Connect your keyboard and device with the provided cable, and toggle the switch to cable mode. Open VIA, click on the "Show Design tab" on the "Settings" tab, and drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the K1 Pro keymap working on VIA.

Suitable For All Devices

Offers a Mac layout while still being compatible with Windows, the K1 Pro is one of the few on the market that has the same multimedia and function key functions as Apple keyboards for Mac users, but with more tactile feedback.

You can even configure different keymaps for both Mac and Windows devices. While VIA software is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. Includes keycaps for both macOS and Windows (and additional esc and enter keys) to allow you to switch between operating systems with ease.

An Epic Core Inside

A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz on wired mode right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

Hot-swappable

We all have our unique typing preferences, that’s why we are offering hot-swappable option on the K1 Pro, so you can easily hot-swap every low-profile Gateron mechanical switch in a few seconds to customize the typing experience without soldering.

*The K1 Pro is currently compatible with Gateron low-profile mechanical switches only, as QMK does NOT support low-profile optical switches.
