8000Hz polling and open-source QMK firmware on a wired TKL — the enthusiast specification without the group-buy wait.
Quick Specs
- 8000Hz polling rate, adjustable from 125Hz
- QMK/VIA open-source firmware with the browser-based Keychron Launcher
- Hot-swappable PCB taking 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches
- Pre-lubed Keychron Super Red linear switches
- TKL (80%) layout with double-shot PBT keycaps and south-facing RGB
Firmware you own
QMK is open-source keyboard firmware, and that matters for two reasons. First, capability: remap any key, build layers, record macros, and do it in a browser through Keychron Launcher with nothing to install — on Windows, macOS or Linux alike. Second, trust: the firmware on a device that sees every keystroke you type is publicly auditable rather than a closed binary from a vendor utility. Very few keyboards at any price offer that.
Tuned inside, fast outside
An Arm Cortex-M4 drives an 8000Hz polling rate — eight times the standard 1000Hz — for near-instant input registration. Acoustically, the build is layered: sound-absorbing foam, PET film, IXPE film, bottom-case acoustic foam and a silicone bottom pad, which is what produces the low "thocky" sound enthusiasts chase rather than a hollow clack. Switches are pre-lubed Super Reds — linear and quiet — and the hot-swap PCB accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches, so replacements are not restricted to Keychron's own. South-facing RGB means it shines through Cherry-profile keycaps without the LED clashing.

Questions
Before you buy
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
