Keychron V1 HE

The V1 HE is Keychron's magnetic-switch (Hall-effect) 75%. Keychron's spec table lists an ABS case and a gasket mount (the table lists an aluminum plate, but the page's own copy says PC plate, so the plate material is unclear), plate-mounted stabilizers, OSA double-shot PBT keycaps that are not shine-through, north-facing RGB, QMK and the Launcher web app, 1000Hz over USB-C and 2.4GHz (125Hz over Bluetooth 5.2), and a 4000 mAh battery rated up to 100 hours with the backlight off. It lists 1031 g fully assembled. The switches are Keychron Ultra-fast Lime magnetic switches with rapid trigger and adjustable actuation (the spec table gives 0.10 to 3.35 mm; the page's marketing copy says 0.2 to 3.8 mm). The two figures disagree on Keychron's own page, so check the Launcher values after purchase.

The hot-swap sockets only accept Keychron's Ultra-fast Lime magnetic switches, according to the page, so it is much less open than the regular V1. The page also lists the board as a limited edition for specific regions and showed it as sold out on 2026-10-18.

This entry has weak evidence. No independent review of the V1 HE could be opened. Keeb-finder's comparison with the V1 repeats the same feature list and adds nothing measured. Keychron's spec table lists 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and wired, even though the page's product tags still say wired.
