It is very Keychron-like.
While conducting a technical compliance investigation, we happened to discover that a product not yet released in Japan had received Japanese technical compliance certification.

- Please click here to see the rationale for technical compliance.
- As for K1 to K10, seeing that there is no Pro notation, it is most likely that the wireless modules are probably common.
- C series, V series (no mark), and Q series (no mark) are marked with “ー” because they do not have wireless connectivity.
- Only K7/K15 listed in Kopec Japan is not listed in the Technical Qualification List, so it is listed as “? (unconfirmed)”, but we assume that it is probably just not reflected on the MIC side.
- Given the technical certification of the Keychron USB-C Receiver, we are aware that it is also certified for wireless connectivity using the 2.4GHz band.
- For use in Japan, the keyboard must (1) be certified for technical compliance and (2) have a technical compliance mark on the keyboard itself.

Most interestingly, the “HE” series with magnetic switches, of which only one model is currently released on the official website, has already received technical certification for six models.
It is clear that the strategy for 2024 is to focus on the magnetic switch model.
Currently, the authorized sales contact in Japan is Kopec Japan, but it is also true that some products are models that have not yet been released in Japan and have obtained technical certification.
Until now, it has been customary that only products sold by authorized dealers could be used in Japan because they have not acquired technical qualification.
