Full description and specifications

8000Hz polling over wireless, and up to 660 hours of battery — about four months of typical use per charge.

Quick Specs

  • 8000Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4GHz modes
  • 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 (three devices) or USB Type-C
  • 4000mAh battery, up to 660 hours with the backlight off
  • Hot-swappable PCB for 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches
  • Gasket mount, pre-lubed Silk POM Red switches, TKL (80%) layout

8K polling without the cable

High polling rates have normally meant wired, because sustaining 8,000 reports a second over radio is hard on both the link and the battery. The V3 Ultra does it in 2.4GHz mode as well as wired, running open-source ZMK firmware on an Arm chip with 1MB of flash. The practical effect is the lowest input lag available on a wireless board — and then it still returns up to 660 hours per charge with lighting off.

Built and tuned like a custom

The board is gasket-mounted with several layers of acoustic foam, so the keystroke lands softly and sounds low rather than hollow. Pre-lubed Keychron Silk POM Red switches are linear and notably quiet — POM is a self-lubricating plastic, which is what gives them their smoothness. The PCB is hot-swappable for 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches, and ZMK firmware means the layout is fully programmable and open to inspection. Bluetooth 5.3 pairs three devices; charging happens while you keep working. TKL drops the numpad for mouse space.

FEATURES:

  • 8000Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4GHz wireless modes

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.
