Programme with QMK and Launcher
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for remapping keys, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customise every key using the intuitive web app.
Access anytime, anywhere
Keychron Launcher is a web-based configurator that you can use at the office, school, lab, or government office – anywhere with internet access. The keyboard can be configured online at any time without needing to download or install any files.
Compatible with all platforms
As a web-based tool, Keychron Launcher supports all operating systems. The keyboard can be customised and programmed on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms. Enjoy unprecedented flexibility with compatibility for Chrome, Edge, and Opera browsers.
Secure inputs
The keyboard uses open-source QMK firmware, which allows the community to check the code for security, ensuring it contains no hidden features, so you have full control over your input security.
Always up to date
Keychron Launcher is constantly updated, so you always have access to the latest version. No need to download updates or wait for installation.
North-facing RGB LED lights
The keycap legends are brighter thanks to the north-facing RGB backlighting, making them easier to read even in low light. Especially with shine-through keycaps, you can achieve a bolder and more attractive lighting effect.
Satisfying key acoustics
Thanks to pre-lubed switches, 3.5mm thick EVA acoustic foam, an IXPE sheet, EPDM foam, and a silicone pad inside the keyboard, the Keychron C3 Pro 8K offers an exceptionally satisfying, soft, and full typing sound that enhances the overall typing experience.
Easily switch between Windows and macOS
Just press FN + Caps Lock to switch between systems as needed. The C3 Pro 8K also includes a set of custom keycaps for both Windows and macOS. You can save two different layouts directly to the keyboard – one for each system.
Double-shot PBT keycaps in a Cherry profile
The PBT keycaps on the RGB versions are made using a double-shot technique, which provides excellent resistance to grease, improves the typing feel, and prevents the legends from fading.
Hot-swappable
Every switch in the C3 Pro 8K can be hot-swapped and is compatible with almost all 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without needing to solder.
Ergonomic support
Three levels of adjustable typing angle (4°, 6°, and 8.7°) along with the cylindrical Cherry profile keycaps provide long-lasting ergonomic support for your wrists.
Keychron Super Switch
The exclusive Keychron Super Switch introduces a new high-precision design. Each switch is tested for professional quality and offers a lifespan of up to 50 million keystrokes, ensuring high reliability and performance even during long-term typing. The new transparent top housing design also improves light transmittance, delivering a more uniform and brighter backlighting effect.
