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 start reading with a cup of coffee or tea, because there's quite a bit to tell about the K12. Are you settled? Perhaps a biscuit too? Let’s go!

Why the Keychron K12 keyboard?

The Keychron K12 is specially designed to optimise your workspace while providing you with all the necessary keys/shortcuts. The K12 has no numpad and no arrow keys. However, the arrow keys, like many other keys, can be accessed by combining them with the Fn1 key. The Fn2 key gives you access to keys F1 to F12.

The K12's connectivity is fantastic. Via Bluetooth, you can connect up to three devices to the keyboard simultaneously. Using combination keys, you can quickly and easily switch between your devices. For example, one moment you're working on your laptop, and the next you're quickly typing a WhatsApp message about dinner. A fourth device can be connected with a cable (USB). Of course, connecting a single device and using the USB cable for that is also possible.

Travel pouch

The Keychron travel pouch is the optimal way to carry your Keychron K12 keyboard. The pouch is made of Saffiano leather, which provides a combination of style, durability, and flexibility. The pouch is available in three colours. Here you can find more information about the travel pouch. At the top right of the page, you can add it to your order in the desired colour.

Gateron switch puller

The Gateron switch puller is the ultimate addition to your hot-swappable keyboard. Our hot-swappable keyboards already come standard with a keycap and switch puller. However, this switch puller is more user-friendly.

Place the Gateron switch puller over the switch and press down until you hear a click. Now you can easily pull out the switch. With a press of the button on top, the puller releases the switch. Read more about the Gateron switch puller here.
