Our take on the Keychron V3 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Knob Version TKL

The Keychron V3 is a wired tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with a rotary knob, a gasket-mounted tray and full QMK/VIA remapping. It ships as a barebones or fully assembled board, with hot-swappable switches and double-shot PBT keycaps on assembled versions. At $54.99 at Keychron.com as of November 6, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range and is one of the cheapest ways into a customizable TKL.
