Lightning-Fast 8000 Hz Wired Performance
The Keychron C1 Pro 8K is a wired TKL (80%) custom mechanical keyboard built for speed. An 8000 Hz polling rate — adjustable from 125 Hz right up to 8000 Hz — delivers faster input registration, near-instant triggering and ultra-low latency, so every keystroke lands with precision. Powered by an Arm Cortex-M4 chip and open-source QMK firmware, it gives gamers and typists across South Africa serious responsiveness with endless room to customise.
Program Everything with QMK, VIA and Launcher
Open-source QMK firmware with VIA support means near-limitless customisation. Using the browser-based Keychron Launcher, you can remap keys, record macros and fine-tune shortcuts on Windows, macOS or Linux — no software to install. Because the firmware is open source, the community can review it for safety, giving you complete confidence and control over your inputs.
A Refined, Acoustically Tuned Typing Experience
The C1 Pro 8K is tuned for sound and feel from the inside out. Layers of sound-absorbing foam, PET film, IXPE film, bottom-case acoustic foam and a silicone bottom pad work together for a satisfying, thocky typing sound and consistent key feel. Pre-lubed Keychron Super switches glide smoothly, plate-mounted stabilisers keep larger keys steady, and OSA-profile double-shot PBT keycaps resist shine and stop the legends fading.
Hot-Swappable and Built to Personalise
Make it truly yours. The hot-swappable PCB accepts almost any 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switch (Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda and more) with no soldering required. South-facing RGB lighting shines cleanly through from the typist’s angle — even with non-shine-through PBT keycaps — for vivid, even backlighting you can tailor key by key.
Comfortable, All-Day Ergonomics
Designed for long sessions, the C1 Pro 8K offers three adjustable typing angles (4.8°, 8.5° and 10.7°) and curved OSA-profile keycaps that work together to support your wrists. A system toggle plus included Windows and macOS keycaps let you switch seamlessly between platforms and save separate layouts for each.

- Incorrect item received
All items are covered by a 12 month warranty (unless otherwise stated) which will be honoured directly by GeeWiz. All products will either be replaced/repaired/refunded depending on stock availability. Products will require evaluation by GeeWiz before a warranty claim can be accepted.
Should the item being returned for assessment be found to be in good working order, unfortunately, there will be a collection fee that will apply.
The collection fees are as follows:
- For returns on items that were sent with free shipping: R198
- For returns that had a surcharge, the same surcharge will apply for collection.
Please log your return on your account, under the returns manager.
We do not reimburse your fee to ship to us, but we will pay for return shipping if the item is subject to replacement. If the item you wish to return was ordered incorrectly / is no longer required / you have changed your mind, there is a collection fee that will be charged (please refer to the above) and this will be deducted from the refund amount once the supplier has credited us. Please note GeeWiz will only cover return shipping of a faulty unit within 6 months of purchase, after which, a shipping fee (starting from R198) will be applicable to you for the return of the unit.
Any disputes relating to ordered items being short/incorrectly shipped will only be entertained if reported to GeeWiz within 3 days of delivery/collection.
Refunds are subject to inspection of item(s) - in some cases, items will need to be sent to supplier for evaluation and testing. This can take up to 15 working days. Once a refund has been approved, this may take 3 - 5 business days to be processed.

Should a warranty sticker not be present on an item, the warranty is immediately null and void.
Batteries are covered under warranty, but please note that GEL, AGM and LEAD ACID have limited cycle runs. These are typically around 200 cycles and may run out before the end of the warranty. Once the cycles have been depleted, it means the battery has reached the end of life and will no longer be a warranty claim.

GeeWiz or its affiliates are not responsible for damage or loss of any kind that may occur as a result of using or misusing any product purchased from us.
