Type On An Ultra-slim Wireless Mechanical Keyboard
With self-contained mechanical switches and hot-swappable optical switch for easier typing in that Magic Keyboard style and the clicky feel of mechanical keyboard with a minimalist design.
Ultra-slim
The K1 is designed for productivity as a typist’s dream, we’re bringing all desirable features to a single keyboard; an ultra-thin body (18mm) and switches for a great clicky feel.
Compared with other mechanical keyboards, it requires less force and uses less finger travel, which reduces finger fatigue and provides an unmatched typing comfortability.
Compatible with All Devices
The K1 keyboard works with macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android.
With just a slide of a button on the side panel, you can switch between the various operating systems as easy as pie, and connects up to 3 devices via Bluetooth.
Mac Layout
Many current Mac keyboards are not mechanical, Keychron is one of the few that features macOS function keys (F1 to F12) in a Mac layout with the same as conventional Mac systems.
K1's Layout
Keychron is here to make typing easier and better. The Keychron keyboard offers several different key quantities, an 87-key layout and improved layout on new version, to best meet your needs.
Compatible with both iOS/macOS and Windows/Android, simply switch between the operating systems with the toggle on the side. Check high resolution layout here.
Mechanical Or Optical?
Available in Gateron mechanical and Keychron optical low profile switch to elevate the typing experience with a more slimmer and subtle look, the K1 provides an excellent typing performance, whether you prefer linear (Red), clicky (Blue), or something in between (Brown, Banana, Mint).
Low-Profile Mechanical
Durable and ultra-slim low profile Gateron Mechanical switch with a 50 million keystroke lifespan to provide an unrivaled tactile responsiveness. K1 was designed to boost your productivity yet meets your desktop aesthetics perfectly. Classic clicky tactile or quicker response, for office or personal gaming, the Gateron low profile is the way to choose.
Low-Profile Optical
With the MX-styled stem housing and 0.2 ms ultra-low latency, these light actuated switches are crafted for typists or gamers who want to type at lightning speed with a 70 million lifespan much greater than industry standards.
The Banana and Mint switches comes with an early tactile bump of every downstroke like those Panda switches, that’s the main difference between the Banana/Mint and the Brown switch. More add-on switches here.
HOT-SWAPPABLE OPTION
We also provide a hot-swappable version for your choice, which means you can customize your typing experience without soldering, pop them in and it's done.
You can easily hot-swap every Optical switch in a few seconds to customize your typing experience on the K1 without soldering. *Hot-swappable feature is available for low profile Keychron Optical switch version only.
*Low Profile Keychron Optical and Low Profile Gateron mechanical version keyboards are NOT compatible with any normal profile mx style mechanical switch.
