It's hard for me to get excited about a keyboard these days, but the OnePlus Keyboard 81 won me over.
I don’t get excited about keyboards much these days. There are so many good ones out there and little in the way of innovation. No surprise, then, that I wrote off the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro immediately after it was announced. How good could a keyboard from a phone company be anyways? Boy, was I wrong.
High praise, for sure, but let’s bring the Keyboard 81 Pro back down to Earth. It’s a mechanical keyboard that was co-developed by OnePlus and Keychron. That’s an important description because, according to the company, this isn’t just a Keychron board with some branding slapped on top. “It is a unique keyboard,” is what OnePlus told me.
There are a few other things the Keyboard 81 Pro inherits from the Q1 Pro. It supports Windows and Mac with keycaps for each and a toggle on the back of the keyboard, and it supports wired or Bluetooth modes with up to three devices. It also is fully hot-swappable, so you can change out the key switches, and it comes with a south-facing PCB, allowing the customizable RGB lighting to shine through.
The key switches are also different. You have two options, either the tactile Winter Bonfire or the linear Summer Breeze switches. I tested the Summer Breeze version, but the difference between tactile versus linear isn’t what’s interesting here. It’s that the key switches have a tactile “bump” point of 0.5mm. You can barely tap the keys and they will still register an input.
