The Keychron V1 Knob in ISO-Swiss layout is a high-quality mechanical keyboard in approximately 75% of the standard form factor with an integrated rotary knob, specifically designed for the Swiss layout with ISO key arrangement. The barebone kit is supplied without switches and keycaps and is aimed at users who want to customize their setup – with their own choice of switches and keycaps. Thanks to its hot-swap capability, programmable knob, firmware support (QMK/VIA), and flexible connection options, it offers an excellent foundation for a custom keyboard build.
