Keychron V1 Features
The Keychron V1 is a 75% alignment mechanical keyboard with a wired connection only.
Supports QMK/VIA and allows customization of key layouts.
The sound-absorbing design is also quite solid, and you will be able to experience a satisfying keystroke feel.
In terms of positioning, it is a lower-priced version of the higher-end Keychron Q1, differing in that it does not have a double gasket construction and its body is not made of full aluminum.
However, the price is about half that of the Keychron Q1, and it would be a perfect introduction to custom keyboards.
As for the keyswitches, you can choose from Keychron K Pro’s red, brown, and blue axes.
オフィスでの利用など、静かな環境での利用を想定しているのであれば、間違いなく赤軸がおすすめです。
You can feel the linear feel when pressing down.
