Keychron, known for its customizable mechanical keyboards, has launched a new keyboard called the B1 Pro in the Chinese market. The keyboard was launched globally back in May this year. Let’s check out its key specs.

Keychron B1 Pro Specifications:

Weighing in at just 425 grams (0.94 lbs), the B1 Pro boasts a sleek 75% layout design with a body thickness of only 5.2mm, making it ideal for carrying in a backpack or briefcase. The keyboard includes 77 keys, with 12 multimedia keys.

The keyboard features spherical keycaps designed to conform to natural finger curvature, promoting typing accuracy and comfort. It also comes with scissor-switch keys with a built-in 3.2° tilt angle that further enhances ergonomics.

The B1 Pro caters to users who juggle between multiple devices. It offers a versatile connection solution with 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2, and wired Type-C options. Bluetooth 5.2 allows for simultaneous connection to up to three devices, perfect for those who work across desktops, laptops, and tablets. For low-latency gaming or situations demanding the fastest response time, the 2.4 GHz connection boasts a 1000 Hz polling rate.

The B1 Pro caters to a wide range of users with its multi-platform compatibility. It offers a Mac layout while remaining fully functional 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.

Keychron equips the B1 Pro with a proprietary web-based driver for effortless customization across Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. The driver empowers users to remap keys, create macros, and personalize keyboard layouts for optimized workflows.

Keychron boasts an incredible battery life for the B1 Pro – a whopping 1200 hours on a single charge. This translates to roughly 8 months of use with 5 hours of daily typing, practically eliminating the need for constant charging.
