The Keychron V1 Barebone version is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard with QMK/VIA support. Designed with Mac users in mind, it also includes compatibility for Windows devices and comes with a system toggle and additional custom keycaps for both systems.

Programming each key and macro with QMK/VIA is straightforward. Users can connect the V1 to their device via cable, import the V1 keymap JSON file into the VIA software, and easily remap keys or create macro commands for different operating systems. The V1 is equipped with a powerful Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU, providing flexibility for developers.

The V1 also features screw-in PCB stabilizers for increased stability and easier upgrades. The keyboard's wired connectivity through USB Type-C ensures a reliable connection with a 1000 Hz polling rate and NKRO. The south-facing RGB backlight illuminates the keyboard effectively, with compatibility for installing Cherry-profile keycaps.

With a compact 75% layout and acoustic silicone pad, the V1 offers a comfortable typing experience for enhanced productivity. Overall, the Keychron V1 Barebone version is a versatile and customizable keyboard option for users looking to enter the world of custom mechanical keyboards.
