Settle in

Normally we use this piece of text to write something fun and light-hearted about a product. However, I want to use it now to make sure you settle in with a cup of coffee or tea before you start reading, because there's quite a bit to tell about the C1. Are you seated? Perhaps a biscuit too? Let’s go!

Why the Keychron C1 keyboard?

The Keychron C1 gives you all the keys and functions you need in a compact size. This means that a numeric keypad is absent, for ergonomic reasons, but it does have hotkeys that can be used by pressing combination keys. This layout is highly sought after for maximum productivity and is the favourite size among gamers. The keyboard works Plug & Play via a USB-C --> USB-A cable.

You have the choice of fixed or interchangeable Keychron and Gateron switches. The hot-swappable version is compatible with almost all MX style 3-pin and 5-pin switches. Gateron, Cherry, Kailh fall under this category. Furthermore, choose an SMD-LED compatible switch to get the most out of the backlight. The keys are easily interchangeable with the included keycap puller.

Matching C1 wrist rest

Keychron has designed two wrist rests specifically for the C1. One is made from American walnut wood. The other combines this same wood with resin for a unique look. Furthermore, the wrist rests feature 4 anti-slip points that ensure they stay in place.

Thanks to the support, your wrists and hands are at the correct height to use the keyboard. This optimises relaxation and prevents injuries. You can add the wrist rests to your order at the top right of the page. Read more about the wooden wrist rest here. And here you can read more about the resin wrist rest.

PLEASE NOTE: Keychron wrist rests are natural products and therefore never identical. The product received may therefore differ from the photo.

Matching Penclic H2 wrist rest

The gel-filled wrist rest from Penclic also perfectly complements the Keychron C1 keyboard. The exterior is finished with a wonderfully soft and comfortable Lycra fabric. The underside features an anti-slip layer, ensuring the rest always stays in place. Thanks to the support, your wrists and hands are at the correct height to use your keyboard. This optimises relaxation and prevents injuries. Read more about the wrist rest here.

Carrying case

The Keychron carrying case is the optimal way to transport your Keychron keyboard. The case opens and closes with a zip and consists of an internal compartment for the keyboard and a compartment for the cable. The case is made of plastic and canvas, providing a combination of durable, sturdy, very light, and stylish. The rubber handle makes carrying easy. Here you can find more information about the case.
