At a glance
Three ways in
2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.1 across three devices, or USB-C, switched on the board.
Screw-in stabilisers
Screwed into the PCB rather than clipped to the plate — the version that does not rattle.
QMK and VIA
Remap anything in the Keychron Launcher web app, with nothing to install.
Held in gaskets, not bolted down
A PC plate sits between gaskets rather than screwed to the case, with sound-absorbing foam and PET film beneath it. The assembly gives very slightly under each press, which is what takes the hard edge off the bottom-out and the sound with it.
2.4 GHz, Bluetooth or the cable
A switch on the board moves between the 2.4 GHz receiver, Bluetooth 5.1 across three devices, and USB-C. The 4000 mAh cell carries it, and the receiver clips into a magnetic slot on the keyboard when it is not in use.
Hot-swappable, Gateron Jupiter inside
It ships with Gateron Jupiter switches, and every socket takes 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches without a soldering iron — Gateron, Cherry MX, Kailh and the rest.
Screw-in PCB stabilisers
The stabilisers under the spacebar, shift, enter and backspace screw into the PCB rather than clipping to the plate. That is the version that does not rattle, and third-party screw-in stabilisers fit too.
Mac and Windows on one board
A toggle moves the board between macOS and Windows, with the extra keycaps for the modifier keys that differ in the box, and a keymap for each system stored on the keyboard.
What comes in the box
The keyboard, the 2.4 GHz receiver, a USB-C cable with a Type-A adapter, the extra keycaps for the other operating system, a combined keycap and switch puller, and the quick start guide.
ISO layout versions
Four ISO layouts are produced: German, UK, Nordic and Swiss. Ask us which are in stock.
