Keychron B1 Pro Keyboard Specifications:

The B1 Pro features a 75% layout that includes 77 keys, with 12 multimedia keys. The keyboard deviates from Keychron’s usual mechanical keyboard offerings, opting for scissor-switch keys similar to those found on laptops.

This design keeps the profile remarkably thin, with a front height of just 5.2mm and a maximum height of 14.5mm. The keyboard also boasts a lightweight build at 425g, making it ideal for those who need a keyboard for travel or mobile use.

Despite its slim profile, the B1 Pro doesn’t skimp on performance. It features a 1000Hz polling rate on the 2.4GHz wireless connection, ensuring smooth and responsive typing. It also offers Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity for seamless multi-device pairing.

Keychron highlights the B1 Pro’s incredible battery life, rated for up to 1200 hours on a single charge. This translates to roughly 8 months of use with 5 hours of daily typing, eliminating the need for frequent charging.

The B1 Pro caters to a wide range of users with its multi-platform compatibility. It offers a Mac layout while remaining compatible with Windows and Linux. It even features the same multimedia and function key functions as Apple keyboards, providing a familiar experience for Mac users with the added benefit of enhanced tactile feedback from the scissor-switch keys.

In terms of customization, the keyboard supports ZMK firmware, allowing users to program keys, macros, and shortcuts directly through a web interface. This eliminates the need for complex software installations and provides a user-friendly way to tailor the keyboard to your specific needs.

The B1 Pro comes equipped with concave keycaps designed for improved typing accuracy and comfort, a dedicated emoji shortcut key, and a protective silicone keycap cover for added durability. For those who prioritize ergonomics, the B1 Pro’s 3.2-degree tilt angle and ultra-thin profile offer a comfortable typing experience, minimizing wrist strain even during extended use.
