The Ultra Series - Where Art Meets Raw Power
Precision
Ultra-Fast 8K Wireless Performance
Experience ultra-responsive performance with an 8000 Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4 GHz wireless modes, delivering exceptionally low latency for gaming and high-speed workflows. With Bluetooth 5.3 support, the Q1 Ultra 8K can seamlessly connect to up to three devices across your computer, phone, and tablet.
Worry-Free Power
660 Hours of Use on a Single Charge
Powered by ZMK, the Q1 Ultra 8K is optimised for ultra-low power consumption while maintaining stable wireless performance. With up to 660 hours of battery life with the backlight turned off, it keeps you creating, working, or gaming for months on a single charge. And when it’s time to recharge, you can keep using it while plugged in for uninterrupted productivity.
Powerful Arm Core
An Epic Core Inside the Keyboard
Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 1MB flash to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 8000 Hz both in 2.4 GHz and wired mode, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games, delivering optimal performance.
CNC Aluminium Body
A Refined Piece of Metal Art
Crafted from premium 6063 aluminium, the Q1 Ultra undergoes CNC machining, polishing, sandblasting, and 24 additional manufacturing processes to achieve its refined metal finish and solid build quality. The black version features an anodised finish, while the white version uses an electrophoretic coating for a smooth and premium texture.
Refined Details
Aesthetic PC Back Plate
Crafted from PC material with a refined finish, this back plate provides a pristine and scratch-resistant surface that serves as a defining feature of the keyboard's clean and modern identity.
Switch - Silky Smooth, Ultra Responsive
Keychron Silk POM Switch
The Keychron Q1 Ultra 8K comes with pre-lubed Keychron Silk POM Switch with high-performance designed for gamers and typists who demand precision, durability, and an exceptional typing experience. Crafted from high-quality POM housing and stem, Keychron switches ensure outstanding durability and resistance to wear over time. This premium material provides a smooth and consistent keystroke, enhancing your overall typing experience.
Customise - Satisfying Keyboard Acoustics
To build a fully customisable keyboard, Keychron designed every component to be able to assemble easily. Therefore, you can customise and adjust each component as you wish.
Keycap
Double-shot PBT keycaps of the Q1 Ultra provide excellent oil resistance and prevent the legends from fading out.
Top Case
A solid, premium aluminium body for a quieter, vibration-free typing experience.
Switch
The core magnetic component; it allows you to fully personalise the actuation point through contactless sensing.
Plate
The soft mounts can help reduce vibration and noise and give a cushioned typing feel.
Sound Absorbing Foam
By absorbing echo and noise, the sound absorbing foam produces a cleaner typing sound.
IXPE Foam
Placed between switches and PCB, the IXPE Foam helps reducing keystroke vibration transmission and optimising typing sound.
PET Film
The PET Film insulates from shorts, shields internals from dust/scratches, and provides minor dampening.
PCB
The circuit board that registers keystrokes; hot-swappable versions allow easy switch changes.
Latex Bottom Pad
The soft foams that can help reduce vibration and noise and give a cushioned typing feel.
Bottom Case Acoustic Foam
Designed to dampen internal acoustic reverberations and absorb noise for a cleaner typing sound.
Bottom Case PET Film
The PET Film insulates from shorts, shields internals from dust/scratches, and provides minor dampening.
Bottom Case
A solid, premium aluminium body for a quieter, vibration-free typing experience.
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q1 Ultra 8K comes with an additional set of customised keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems, along with a system toggle. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Hot-Swappable
Every detail matters for a personalised typing experience, that’s why Keychron gives you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the Q1 Ultra 8K with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customise your own typing experience in seconds.

Keychron Launcher is continuously updated, ensuring you always have access to the latest version. There's no need to download updates or wait for installations.
Silent & Stable
Double-Gasket Design
Silicone pads between the top and bottom cases reduce acoustic resonance, maintaining gasket flexibility and enhancing typing sound. The keyboard's bottom has an acoustic pad, improving sound quality with a slight impact on flexibility. Users seeking more flexibility can opt to remove the acoustic pad.
KSA Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps
To further fine-tune your typing experience, Keychron designed their own unique spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.
Stability
All New Screw-In PCB Stabilisers
The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilisers more stable and less wobbly. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth.
Backlight
Unlock Dynamic Backlit Control
Go beyond standard presets with 22+ RGB backlight settings — including a static white option. Keychrons advanced lighting engine includes two powerful features to fuel your creativity: Per-key RGB and Mix RGB. You can further fine-tune and remap keys with ease, crafting your unique style with vivid, dynamic RGB control.
RGB Backlight
Per-Key RGB
With Per-key RGB, every single key is a digital brushstroke. This feature lets you individually customise the colour of each key, transforming your keyboard into a vibrant canvas.
Mix RGB
With Mix RGB, you can split your keyboard into two custom lighting zones, each with unique effects. Create creative, high-contrast combinations to make your entire setup pop with vibrant style.
