OnePlus forgets for a moment that it makes smartphones and says it will introduce a mechanical keyboard – OnePlus

To be fair, OnePlus sells other devices besides smartphones — like headphones as well as a smartwatch — but the introduction of a keyboard, one with mechanical keys, was somewhat surprising.

The keyboard will be manufactured in collaboration with Keychron and is the product of a project launched by the company through the ‘OnePlus Feature’ co-creation platform. It is a platform where the company collaborates with others, even from different industries, to produce products that have been voted on by the company’s friends and customers. The first collaborative product to emerge from the “OnePlus Premium” platform is this keyboard.

Unfortunately, not much is known about the keyboard at the moment, other than the fact that it will be customizable, with OnePlus saying we’ll be able to find out more details early in the new year. As for being customizable, considering Keychron’s products, we can expect LED lighting and support for different lighting effects, interchangeable keys, possibly switches, and possibly detachable USB Type-C cables.
