OnePlus is working with Keychron on a mechanical keyboard

Tech manufacturer OnePlus is working with keyboard maker Keychron on a ‘fully customizable’ mechanical keyboard. Different keycaps and mechanical switches for the keyboard should become available. No release date or price has been shared yet.

Based on community feedback via the Open Ears Forum concludes OnePlus that a mechanical keyboard should remain comfortable to use during an eight-hour workday. Therefore, the keyboard should not be too high. In addition, several different switches should be available and the price should not be too high. Furthermore, the company mentions two purposes for the keyboard, namely productivity and gaming.

It’s not entirely clear what the brand means by a ‘fully customizable’ design; usually only keycaps and switches of a keyboard can be exchanged. Given the partnership with Keychron, it is according to XDA Developers It is likely that it is a rebranded Keychron keyboard, possibly with some adjustments from OnePlus.
