Keychron V4
Is the V4 right for you?
The V4 is a mechanical keyboard in a mini 60% layout, and Keychron lists its connectivity as Type-C.
Best for
- People who'd like to try other switches.
- People who use both Mac and Windows. Keychron says it has a system toggle and can save two layouts, one for each system, and the fully assembled version includes Mac and Windows keycaps.
Skip if
- You want to go wireless.
A 60% board leaves off more keys than a tenkeyless or full-size one, and what each size keeps is covered in our guide Full-size, TKL or compact: which keyboard size should you get?
Want to see it next to a mouse and a headset? Try it on the QuickDesker board and build a whole desk setup around it.
What does it cost, and what should you check first?
- Seen at Keychron.com for $59.99 (Fully Assembled) on 14 Sep 2026
- Seen at Divinikey for $44.25 (Barebone) on 20 Oct 2026 (sold out)
Prices change; check the one for the version you want. Keychron sells it Fully Assembled or as a Barebone, in Frosted Black (Translucent) and Carbon Black (Non-transparent).
Keychron says the barebone version doesn't include the keycaps and switches, so check which version a price is for.
Keychron says the open-source QMK firmware handles key remapping, macros and shortcuts, and you customize each key in the Keychron Launcher web app.
Which switches does the V4 come with, and can you swap them?
Keychron offers the fully assembled version with Keychron K Pro Red, Keychron K Pro Blue or Keychron K Pro Brown switches, and says all the K Pro switches except the clicky ones are factory pre-lubed.
You can swap them. Keychron lists the switch support as hot-swappable, for 5-pin and 3-pin switches, and says the sockets are mounted on the circuit board, so you can change switches without soldering. There's more on choosing a switch in our guide: Which mechanical switch should you pick? A board-by-board guide.
Keychron also lists a 1000 Hz polling rate. Polling rate is how many times a second the keyboard reports to the computer, so 1000 Hz means once every millisecond.
What is the V4 made of, and what keycaps does it come with?
Keychron lists an ABS plastic body with a tray mount design. A tray mount screws the circuit board to posts in the bottom of the case. Inside there's a steel plate, and Keychron also lists an acoustic silicone pad.
The fully assembled version comes with double-shot PBT keycaps in what Keychron calls OSA profile: OEM height with an SA shape. Keychron lists them as not shine-through, so the backlight doesn't show through the legends, and says its south-facing RGB LEDs are designed to light the board better from the typist's angle with those keycaps on.
Keychron lists the fully assembled version at 730 ± 10 g, and gives the board's width as 117.09 mm and its length as 303.85 mm.
