The Keychron Launcher web app is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. Includes keycaps for both macOS and Windows to allow you to switch between operating systems with ease.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ARM architecture MCU equipped with 256KB Flash which provides more flexibility for developers.
