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.

Excellent even after more than 1 year!

I ordered a K1 in January 2021. The package was delivered quickly and in excellent condition.

The Keyboard is performing really well after more than 1 year of daily use, in bluetooth mode, for more than 10 hours a day (software engineering). Battery seems to still be in good shape (1 charge/week) and it even survived a complete disassembly after I spilled a drink on it! Works like nothing happened (I do not recommend it though).

The price is excellent and the typing is smooth. I've standard keycaps and the color scheme is really nice. Backlight is great even though I only use the standard RGB lightning so the multitude of mode is useless for me. The keyboard size is great on the go, now that I can go back to the office I can just pop it inside my backpack along the laptop.

For the price it far surpass more expensive "GAMING" keyboard I've had in the past. Will surely buy another one if this one goes out on me.

Great delivery and the keyboard is just amazing!

My first Keychron and amazing experience.

I was looking around for new keyboard and was looking for keyboard that resembles the laptop profile with mechanical keys because I typed regularly with laptop for work. I stumbled on Keychron low profile keyboard with and bought one instantly with red switch and RGB lighting.

I have been using it for more than 2 months now on Windows 10 and I really enjoy the typing experience and playing games on it. The amount of typing mistakes have been minimal in comparison to normal sized keyboard. I assume the reason with the minimal amount of typing error using low-profile keyboard than the normal profile keyboard is due to familiar feeling of typing in laptop.

I am not a mechanical keyboard enthusiast and I don't have any experience with different variety of mechanical switches but I chose red switches because they are suppose to be the quietest one and a very good choice for gaming. I can only say that the key is indeed quiet enough and has no issues with my (RPG) gaming needs.

The RGB lighting is great and offers variety of lighting mode style. My only wish is that there is an option to toggle off the lighting completely when I am away from keyboard for a long time.

I did test out the Bluetooth the first time I used it and it connected seamlessly with no lag but I prefer wired keyboard over wireless for my everyday use. I was disappointed with the length of the USB cable provided because it is only 1 metre long and the length is not enough to reach my PC located under the desk.

The build is very sturdy and feels very high quality. The keycaps texture are very smooth and I hope Keychron will offer keys replacement options with different texture such as matte.

Overall, I am very satisfied and hopefully this keyboard will be supported for a long time.

Good keyboard

Very happy

Have been using the Keychron K1 for about a month now and am very happy with it. It types really well, the brown switches are very nice.
Easy to set up and wonderful to use
