Link to Keychron website for more info (and also a reference for the usual price): https://www.keychron.com/products...-keyboard?

FYI: the red option is for the mechanical gateron red switches, which are not hotswappable. Additionally, the hotswappable optical switches are only hotswappable with other keychron optical switches.

Potential key remapping software (no mention of the v5 being tested with this software so YMMV): https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron...e/ilip5gx/

More info about resetting the keyboard after using that software above if necessary (without reflashing): https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron...e/iaqnl7p/


Update:
At this point most of the variations have been sold out and its going to the used listings for the sold out ones.
Only the optical mints are still left at the original posted price here (as of this update).

Another update:

A bunch of the gateron mechanicals are also in stock still at 47.59: https://slickdeals.net/f/16799945-keychron-k1-tenkeyless-slim-hot-swappable-wireless-wired-gateron-mechanical-switches-keyboard-47-49-free-shipping

Amazon exclusive. Must be logged in. Reds are only a few $$ more but are a bad idea on such a short stroke anyway.

Buy the banana if you are normal person who loves lighter switch
Buy the mint if you are heavier hands

Reds are showing as the same price for me, but keep in mind that they are gateron reds instead of optical reds.

Also just as another FYI, the mechanical gateron switch version is not hotswappable.

It looks like they replaced the normal print scrn with an automatic combination screenshot button: https://www.keychron.com/pages/k1...t%20button.

Not sure how I feel about this for linux use...

sysrq is print screen, and that one still works. That's the one you really need if you are a kernel hacker.

I don't know about the other two. Some people really need them, most don't.

Also worth noting, the optical switches are proprietary and only swappable with the other Keychron optical switches...

I just ran across some software that is compatible with this board that can remap keys: https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron...e/ilip5gx/

The Razer BlackWidow is on sale: https://slickdeals.net/f/16795913-razer-blackwidow-wired-gaming-keyboard-w-green-mechanical-switches-chroma-rgb-lighting-49-free-shipping?v=1

It doesn't have same characteristics of this board though (like being low profile and having optical switches).

The option that you may have selected is OOS now, so its only showing the used ones left for that particular selection.

The only one that seems to still be in stock at the posted price is the mint opticals.
