OnePlus first mechanical keyboard appears to be beat in 2023

With its mechanical keyboard, which was created in collaboration with Keychron, a company that produces some of the greatest keyboards on the market, OnePlus is making a little bit of a different debut. Unique Marble-mallow keycaps that put an emphasis on comfort, use, and durability while still enabling high performance and luxury aesthetics are found on the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro. The brand claimed that because their keycaps are made of thermoplastic, they had a gentle bounce when in the hands.

The keyboard's alert slider, which draws inspiration from OnePlus smartphones, the Escape key, which was done in OnePlus red, and the rotary knob, which can be used for a conventional purpose or tailored to your preferences, are some of its design signatures. The brand's OnePlus Featuring program, which enables followers and enthusiasts to invest in and take part in the creation and release of new OnePlus goods, has resulted in the keyboard being the first commercial product to be released abroad. There are currently approximately 4,000 backers of the first OnePlus keyboard, and there is still time to invest in the program. One of the main features of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro that resulted from this brand-community collaboration are the distinctive and customizable switches. The keyboard has a double gasket, like the previously introduced Asus ROG Azoth, which helps to reduce noise and increase comfort for users. In order to make sure that the keyboard can be properly mapped across a variety of operating systems, including MacOS, OnePlus also collaborated with the keyboard manufacturer Keychron. Along with being compatible with QMK and VIA, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro is also compatible with other open-source and configurable firmware. Additionally, a built-in hot swap functionality enables you to quickly switch out important functions according to your preferences.
