KV1-65% is a minimalist 65% keyboard designed by GDK Lab, marking the studio's first entry in the K series. GDK Lab opted for a subtractive design approach, resulting in an overall shape that is both simple and restrained, with fluid lines that convey a sense of vitality. After completing the standard structure, the team focused on refining the details and texture, and the 220-mesh aluminum case makes each touch of the keyboard truly impressive.

Features

Multiple Color Options

With an impressive selection that features as many as 12 color options available, you can be confident that you will discover at least one that perfectly suits your personal taste and preferences.


Ball-catch Structure

Make installation and debugging more convenient. And it was designed to have a crisper sound and clearer disassembly and assembly feedback.



Gasket Mount

The KV1-65% features a gasket design that utilizes custom silicone rubber bridges for support and a soft, cushioned feel.



VIA & QMK Support

VIA is a tool that enables keyboard configuration. With the VIA configurator, you can map keys to the physical layout of your keyboard.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lucy F. ★★★★★

The gasket mount gives every keypress this soft, cushioned bottom-out that I didn't know I was missing. Spent a whole evening just typing random paragraphs because it sounds that good.

Penelope P. ★★★★★

The 65% layout is exactly what I wanted, and the gasket mount gives every keypress a soft, even bounce. Stabs came factory lubed and rattle-free, which saved me a ton of time on the build.

Jason ★★★★★

The build quality feels incredible for the price, and the layout is perfect for my cramped desk setup. I was worried about the shipping cost and no free shipping option, but it arrived fast and well-packaged. Typing on this thing is a whole different experience from my old prebuilt.
