Keychron K3 QMK Wireless Mechanical Keyboard V3

Keychron K3 QMK Wireless Mechanical Keyboard V3

Ultra-Slim Meets Fully Programmable

A clean desk can change your whole mindset. A versatile keyboard can change your whole workflow. Meet the Keychron K3 V3: an ultra-slim, low-profile design for professionals who create, code, and connect across multiple devices without sacrificing the feel of a true mechanical keyboard.

For years, the choice has been a frustrating one. You could have a thin, portable keyboard that was easy to travel with, or you could have a fully programmable mechanical keyboard with a satisfying typing experience. Getting both felt impossible. The Keychron K3 V3 ends that trade-off. It delivers the complete enthusiast feature set in a package built around innovative low-profile switches that are 33% slimmer than conventional designs. The result is a keyboard that fits into any setup, from a minimalist home office to a backpack on the go.

Ultra-Slim Design

Full Control, No Compromises

We covered the slim design. Now, for the control. At the heart of the K3 is open-source QMK firmware, giving you the power to tune your workflow with precision. Remap any key, build complex macros for repetitive tasks, create custom function layers for different applications, and much more.

Historically, getting this level of control on a wireless keyboard was a challenge. While many wireless boards claim to work with powerful firmware, the experience can be inconsistent. Keychron's implementation is different. You can configure everything through the simple Keychron Launcher web app, which works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The K3 is built to give you deep programmability that just works, whether you're plugged in or connecting over Bluetooth.

Connect to Your Entire Workflow

The modern workspace isn't confined to one screen. The K3 is built for it. It connects wirelessly with up to three devices at once using a stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.2 chip. Switch effortlessly between your laptop, tablet, and phone with a simple key combination.

It's fully compatible with both macOS and Windows. A dedicated switch on the back toggles between layouts, and the box includes extra keycaps for both operating systems, so the multimedia and function keys work exactly as you expect them to. Plugged in, the keyboard offers a 1000 Hz polling rate for high-speed response. It's a single keyboard designed to be the hub for all your devices.

Multi-Device Connectivity

A Refined Typing Experience

A keyboard's performance is about more than just its software. The K3's typing feel and sound have been carefully refined. Inside the slim aluminum and ABS case, a complete acoustic foam package—including layers of IXPE, EPDM, and latex foam—absorbs harsh frequencies. This creates a quieter, more solid, and responsive sound with every keystroke.

The board is available in a hot-swappable version, allowing you to change every switch without touching a soldering iron. This lets you experiment with different feels, from smooth linear to tactile bump, using any Keychron or Gateron low-profile 2.0 mechanical switches. Combined with redesigned stabilizers that reduce wobble on larger keys, the K3 delivers a stable and satisfying feel that defies its ultra-slim profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's new in Version 3?

The biggest upgrade is the addition of QMK/VIA support, which provides a much deeper level of programmability than previous versions. This version also includes an enhanced acoustic foam package for improved sound and feel.

What switches are compatible with the hot-swappable board?

The hot-swap sockets are designed specifically for Keychron and Gateron low-profile 2.0 mechanical switches. They are not compatible with normal profile MX switches or low-profile optical switches.

Is this keyboard good for gaming?

Yes. In wired mode, the K3 has a 1000 Hz polling rate, which is the standard for gaming keyboards and ensures a low-latency connection. It also features N-Key Rollover (NKRO) in wired mode, so every keypress is registered.

How do I program the keyboard with QMK/VIA?

You can configure your K3 using the Keychron Launcher web app. It provides an intuitive interface for remapping keys, creating macros, and adjusting backlighting without needing to compile firmware yourself.
