From the way the same announcement is made on ONEPLUS’s official Twitter page, it seems that ONEPLUS is hosting this project, and Keychron is supporting the keyboards released by ONEPLUS.

This keyboard is our first global OnePlus Featuring product, designed in collaboration with our community and @KeychronMK.
We think you’ll love the double gasket design and premium aluminum body!

Schedule for launch

The keyboard launch appears to be scheduled for March 2023, with an official product announcement in February 2023.

Perhaps a 75% layout keyboard similar to the Keychron Q1?

Based on the information presented at this time, the ONEPLUS keyboard will probably be Keychron Q1-like.

Purchase products at RedCoins and get 3x your investment in the pre-order phase.

It seems that by subscribing to the OnePlus Keyboard product news, you will receive 30 “RedCoins” units of coins.

There is an advertisement that you can “triple your investment” when you purchase products at these RedCoins, but it doesn’t quite ring a bell.

Upon reading the Terms of Use, the following text stood out.

• Campaign Details. Between December 15, 2022, 4:00 AM EST and January 20, 2023, 4:00 AM EST, you may make a one-time contribution of up to 100 RedCoins to the Campaign, and Between December 15, 2022, 4 AM EST and January 20, 20, 4 AM EST, you may make a one-time contribution of up to 100 RedCoins to the Campaign, and receive triple the amount of contributed RedCoins back into your account during the product pre-order period. RedCoins discounts will be available for this product during the pre-order period. Triple RedCoins will be credited to the users’ accounts during the product pre-orders stage and eligible users will be notified by e-mail.
• Eligibility. If you are over eighteen years old by the start of the Campaign and reside in the United States or Canada, you are eligible to contribute to the Campaign. Each eligible user can only invest once. Subsequent investments of RedCoins cannot be added. RedCoins will be valid for one year
• Contributions Are Not Purchases. RedCoins contributions to the Campaign only entitle you to receive triple the amount of contributed RedCoins back into your account during the product RedCoins contributions to the Campaign only entitle you to receive triple the amount of contributed RedCoins back into your account during the product pre-order period. Your contribution is not a pre-order of the OnePlus Keyboard and does not entitle you to receive the OnePlus Keyboard free of charge.

It looks like this means that you must reside in the US or Canada to be eligible for campaign donation rights, donating with the free RedCoins you receive does not count as a purchase, and the product discount will be applied using the 3x RedCoins returned during the reservation period.

This is a completely unfamiliar method of support in Japan, and it is somewhat baffling.

And you have no campaign donation rights when you live in Japan in the first place.

For now, it is best to wait and see.
