A 770 g, 75% wireless board with 8,000 Hz polling and three typing angles
Quick Specs
- 75% ANSI layout with rotary knob
- Keychron Silk POM Red switches, hot-swappable
- Tri-mode: 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C wired
- 8,000 Hz polling (wired and 2.4 GHz), 125 Hz on Bluetooth
- 4,000 mAh battery, up to 660 hours with the backlight off
What it is and who it suits
The V1 Ultra 8K takes the arrow keys, function row and a knob and fits them into a 75% footprint of 32.8 x 14.8 cm, which frees up desk space for your mouse. It connects over cable, the supplied 2.4 GHz receiver or Bluetooth 5.3, and runs at up to 8,000 Hz on the first two. That makes it a sensible choice for gamers on a smaller desk, for anyone who moves between a PC and a laptop, and for a first hot-swap keyboard, since you can change the switches later without soldering. The OSA double-shot PBT keycaps sit lower than the Q-series KSA profile.
Trade-offs to know about
The V1 Ultra uses a plastic body and bottom case rather than the aluminium of Keychron's Q series, so it is lighter and easier to carry but has less of the dense, damped feel some enthusiasts want. There is no number pad, so if you enter a lot of figures, consider a full-size board. Bluetooth runs at 125 Hz – fine for typing, but use the receiver or cable for games. Battery life drops when RGB is on, and the ANSI layout means UK ISO keycap sets will not fit fully.

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 08:00 to 17:00, 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 08:00 to 17:00, 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.
