Keychron's not really officially at Computex this year, but I did manage to catch up with its CEO, Nick Xu, in a corner of the show and got a sneak peek at some of its upcoming and potentially upcoming keyboard goodies.
The most striking is the carbon fiber concept keeb—I mean, just look at the thing: it's barely there. But, given that it's a carbon fiber shell it still feels pretty darned solid. But yes, it is just a concept piece brought along to show just how low Keychron can go. I'm told there is a chance that we might see it actually become a product sometime next year, however.
What isn't a concept piece, however, is the new Keychron ultra-low profile magnetic keyboard, something they claim is "the world's thinnest optical or magnetic keyboard, you don't even notice it's magnetic."
Though you will if you take a look at the switches, or start to type on it. There's a level of travel on the switches that you just don't get with a scissor switch or membrane keyboard.
Though it isn't a concept, the unit I'm holding in my hands is an unnamed prototype, which you can tell because there are a few rough edges that you don't normally see with Keychron's reliably solid boards.
But we should see the some time around the end of the year, and hopefully by then it will actually have a name.
