OPTICAL OR MECHANICAL?
We’re providing more Mechanical and Optical switch options on the K12 for a smooth and flawless typing experience.
Optical Switch
With a redesigned structure, our in-house Keychron Lava Optical switch comes with enhanced reliability, typing comfort and lets gamers play at warp speed of only 0.2ms with a lifespan of 100 million keystroke.
We’re proud to add two more amazing switches to our family. Unlike other tactile switches providing a bump midway of the downstroke, the new Keychron Lava Optical Banana and Mint switches provide an extraordinary typing experience with smooth tactile bumps, like those commonly sought after by Panda switches on the market.
*Keychron Lava Optical switch is compatible with our Keychron Optical switch only, NOT compatible with any MX style mechanical switch
Gateron Mechanical
Durable Gateron mechanical switch with a 50 million keystroke lifespan to provide an unrivaled tactile responsiveness.
ERGONOMIC SUPPORT
Two-level adjustable feet, an inclined bottom frame, and curved OEM profile keycaps, all working together to provide long-lasting ergonomic support when you type on the K12.
COMPACT YET POWERFUL
The K12 comes with a compact 60% layout with only the keys you need in the right places. You can access the arrow keys and all the essential multimedia and function keys through a combination of keypresses no matter on Mac or Windows. Check all combination keys here.
