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.

Great keyboard

Hi,
I have K1 low-profile keyboard for more than a year and I am more than satisfied! The are two things that may be improved Supplied software for easy setting (currently is possible only with key shortcuts) and adjustable feet.

Important!
for those of you that have connection issues that cause freezing or similar issues, you can disable the sleep mode on the keyboard (https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044087054-How-to-disable-Auto-Sleep-Mode-).
It's not the best solution but is some kind of solution that fixes the problem.

Great but with flaws

I have version 4 of the K1 keyboard. Great keyboard, but there are problems with bluetooth, the keyboard sometimes loses connection or freezes while typing, which results in adding words or strings like: "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey." during communication. Or my in-game character walks left for 5 seconds even though I only pressed the key once and I'm not holding it.
That's why I switched to cable permanently.
Would the creators add a blutooth dongle to the kit? It would definitely improve the quality of the connection and data transfer.

Fourth Keychron Keyboard

Having K6, K3, and K8 experience, Keychron has always outlived my expectation. I should have a low-profile TKL keyboard too. K1 RGB Backlight Aluminum Body with Low Profile Keychron Optical (Hot-Swappable). Once again, it lives up to the expectations. But to my surprise, it does not have adjustable feet like K3.

initial impressions

I purchased the RGB backlight one with red optical switches and have been using it extensively for the past week.
First of all this thing is heavy and feels solid with no flex, it doubles as a home defense weapon.
The RGB was easy to set up and no software required is a huge plus as the software on my last keyboard caused lots of lag.
As far as the battery goes the initial charge lasted about 5 days before I had to plug it in. TBF I never turn it off and use it with auto sleep mode off a lot.
My only real critiques are I wish there were time options for auto sleep mode like maybe 5, 10 and 20 minutes. Also there should be adjustable/ snap on feet to raise the back up a little, it doesn't need much like maybe a eighth of an inch.
Overall I am really loving this thing so far and highly recommend it

Amazing to type and game

Working in customer support (chat on mac) and gaming (on win) on my free time, i wanted something to type 8+ hours a day, and game, and what an experience, ordered from Greece came earlier than expected. Typing is a solid 8.8/10 (what i would say for better is have the ability to rise the keyboard with small legs on the back like many other keyboard), Aesthetics its a 10/10, and key wise 9/10, would like to see a wheel for the sound with mute possibility like other keyboards somehow). Over all just a little height flexibility and the wheel for sound and ouuf! Amazing keyboard thanks for making this in this price range and shipping world wide its amazing i can order from you! Also on top of all those connecting to both Mac and Win with bluetooth and switch at will is amazing legit af.
