Fully programmable via QMK/VIA firmware, it supports both Mac and Windows layouts with dedicated keycaps and system toggle. Its compact design includes a gasket-mounted plate and acoustic silicone pad for enhanced typing comfort, complemented by durable double-shot PBT keycaps and south-facing RGB backlighting for a premium, customizable experience. ## Description Product description Keychron V1 QMK/VIA Custom Mechanical Keyboard - Knob Version The Keychron V1 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard with QMK/VIA support. Anyone can intuitively master any keyboard keys or macro commands (incl. the knob) through the VIA software. The V1 is designed to be able to assemble easily, so you can customize the hardware and software with endless possibilities. Hot-swappable The pre-lubed Keychron K Pro mechanical switches come with an optimized mold with more precise positioning, and less wobbliness will certainly improve your fingertip feel. The Keychron switch is durable enough with unrivaled tactile responsiveness on the linear red switch and up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. The hot-swappable sockets supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.), so you can customize your favorite switches without soldering. Program Each Key and Macro with QMK/VIA Simply connect the V1 to your device with a cable, import the V1 keymap JSON file into the VIA software, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on macOS, Windows, or Linux operating systems, e.g.: create a macro command of a screenshot on macOS. Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions. A brand new ultra-low-power Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU which is powerful, and armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less wobbly. The big keys’ typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron V1 also supports third-party stabilizers including Cherry or Durock. Wired Connectivity A reliable USB Type-C wired connection with 1000 Hz polling rate and NKRO make sure you won't miss a beat no matter cranking out emails or code. Note: Please avoid connecting the V1 with a laptop through a hub to ensure enough power supply. For the same reason, please turn off the keyboard backlight if the V1 is connecting with a tablet. Double-shot PBT Keycaps & South-facing RGB The V1 comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable and subtle fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use. The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the V1. All-Around Customizable Keyboard We designed every component to be easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, knob and case foam if you want. SPECIFICATIONS Review: Solid, Good Key Feel and Response - I'm a writer and I've used a number of mechanical keyboards over the years, and I definitely like this one. I keep wondering how many times I can accidentally drop this poor keyboard on the ground before it breaks. It is extremely solid and feels very well made. I like the feel of the keys. The keys let me type as fast as I'm able to. They make a clicking noise, but not annoying. However, others in the same room will be able to hear the key-clicking if that is a concern. Very satisfying if you type as many hours a day as I do. Review: Great Value for All You Could Want - The Keychron V1 is the perfect keyboard for me. It is a great value for a robust, responsive mechanical keyboard that feels great to type on. The plastic housing is sturdy & has enough weight to stay in place well, without shifting around during typing. I nonetheless find it easier to move around as needed than its metal bigger sister, the Q1. The keyboard has a nice sound to it too, particularly with the red switch option. No metallic pinging here! Brightness of the RGB backlighting will depend on your keycap selection, and Keychron themselves offer many alternate keycaps you can choose for the keyboard. Replacing keycaps & switches is easy, especially with the included tool. Do note that the rear USB port is inset, so some lower profile USB-C cables may not sit in all the way. Overall, the V1 is a great choice if you want a highly customizable mechanical keyboard that already feels great out of the box & doesn't break the bank. ## Features - 81 Keys Mechanical Keyboard: The V1 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard ready for any situation. It’s a great option to introduce you to the custom keyboard world while every component can be easily assembled. With its compact 75% layout, acoustic silicone pad, the V1 is designed for ultra typing comfort and boost productivity. - Fully Customizable From the Inside Out: To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, and case foam if you want. With QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more. - Hot-swappable Support: With the pre-lubed mechanical linear red switch provides unrivaled tactile responsiveness with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. You can also hot-swap the V1 with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. The PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizer for “big keys” such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete are designed for less wobbliness and smooth performance. - Compatible with both macOS & Windows Systems: Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron V1 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard. - Double-shot PBT Keycaps & South-facing Backlight: The V1 comes with our unique OSA profile and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable and subtle fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use. The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the V1. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09NLW62PN | | Additional Features | QMK/VIA, Fully Customizable, Hot-swappable, RGB, Wired | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,897 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #42 in Mac Gaming Keyboards #464 in PC Gaming Keyboards #572 in PlayStation 4 Accessories | | Brand | Keychron | | Built-In Media | Type-C cable, Type-A to Type-C adapter, Keyboard PCB, screw-in stabs, and steel plate | | Button Quantity | 81 | | Color | Hot-swap Keychron K Pro Red Switch | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Mac, PC | | Connectivity Technology | wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 153 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Polybutylene Terephthalate, Silicone | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.93"L x 5.85"W x 1.02"H | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Mechanical | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Manufacturer | Keychron | | Model Name | Keychron V1 | | Model Number | Keychron V1 | | Number of Keys | 81 | | Number of Sections | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Processor Count | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Gaming | | Special Feature | QMK/VIA, Fully Customizable, Hot-swappable , RGB, Wired | | Style Name | Contemporary | | Switch Type | Linear | | Theme | Space | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Keychron - **Color:** Hot-swap Keychron K Pro Red Switch - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Mac, PC - **Connectivity Technology:** wired - **Keyboard Description:** Mechanical - **Keyboard backlighting color support:** RGB - **Product Dimensions:** 12.93"L x 5.85"W x 1.02"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Gaming - **Special Feature:** QMK/VIA, Fully Customizable, Hot-swappable, RGB, Wired - **Style:** Contemporary ## Images ![V1 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard, QMK/VIA Programmable, Hot-swappable Red Switches, Compatible with Mac Windows Linux - Carbon Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616pABV8icL.jpg) ![V1 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard, QMK/VIA Programmable, Hot-swappable Red Switches, Compatible with Mac Windows Linux - Carbon Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7142986qH3L.jpg) ![V1 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard, QMK/VIA Programmable, Hot-swappable Red Switches, Compatible with Mac Windows Linux - Carbon Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Qx0d3AhEL.jpg) ![V1 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard, QMK/VIA Programmable, Hot-swappable Red Switches, Compatible with Mac Windows Linux - Carbon Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81t+hSKGoCL.jpg) ![V1 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard, QMK/VIA Programmable, Hot-swappable Red Switches, Compatible with Mac Windows Linux - Carbon Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l4+PMAOhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: This V1 keyboard does not have illuminated letters, does it?** A: No, it is backlit, but the lights do not shine through the letters. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, Good Key Feel and Response *by P***L on January 31, 2026* I'm a writer and I've used a number of mechanical keyboards over the years, and I definitely like this one.

It's heavy and seems like a nice build. I went with the red switches which feel easier to actuate than cherry mx switches for torpe switches. It's a great upgrade from some gaming mechanical keyboard I have been using for years. ## Frequently Bought Together - Keychron V1 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard, QMK/VIA Programmable, Hot-swappable Red Switches, Compatible with Mac Windows Linux - Carbon Black - Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac - KTRIO Large Gaming Mouse Pad with Superior Micro-Weave Cloth, Extended Desk Mousepad with Stitched Edges, Non-Slip Base, Water Resist Keyboard Pad for Gamer, Office & Home, 31.5 x 11.8 in, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/478621809-v1-75-wired-mechanical-keyboard-qmk-via-programmable-hot-swappable](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/478621809-v1-75-wired-mechanical-keyboard-qmk-via-programmable-hot-swappable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
