Is this a good deal?

The 81 Pro is the first QMK/VIA enabled wireless mechanical keyboard paving the way for a new era for mechanical keyboards. The 81 Pro White Backlight version has been re-engineered from the inside out. Together with our signature hot-swappable features and upgraded typing sound
With QMK and VIA Support: Keychron 81 Pro allows anyone to remap any key, and create macro commands, shortcuts, or combination keys through VIA. Simply connect the 81 Pro to your device with a cable, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on any system (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Supports Wireless and Wired Mode: You can connect the 81 Pro with up to 3 devices wirelessly via its stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking across your laptop, phone, and tablet. Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows
Hot-swappable Support: With the pre-lubed mechanical tactile brown switch providing unrivaled tactile responsiveness with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. You can also hot-swap the 81 Pro with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX mechanical switches on the market without soldering required
Upgraded Typing Experience: The added sound-absorbing foam, a thick silicone dampening bottom pad, and steel plate provide responsive feedback and a peaceful typing sound. The south-facing white backlight is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and it comes with double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and excellent oil resistance.

Our Take

Best for: Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who want QMK/VIA in a wireless, full-metal board.

The Keychron 81 Pro is a premium full-metal wireless mechanical keyboard that brings QMK/VIA firmware to a wireless form factor. Its hot-swappable switch design lets you customize the typing feel without soldering, and the included pre-lubed Gateron Brown switches offer a tactile bump with a quiet sound profile thanks to the sound-absorbing foam and silicone dampening pad. The white south-facing backlight is subtle but clear, and the double-shot PBT keycaps resist shine over time. 1 pairs with up to three devices for easy switching between a laptop, tablet, and phone, while the wired USB-C connection provides low latency for gaming. Battery life is solid at around 80 hours with backlight off. The main tradeoff is the white backlight rather than per-key RGB, and there is no USB hub. 99, this is a strong value for a full-metal custom keyboard with wireless QMK/VIA support.

Price Analysis

At $119.99, this is 45% off the original $219.99. The 81 Pro rarely drops below $130, making this a strong buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a high-quality wireless custom keyboard.
