LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Keychron, a leading manufacturer of peripherals compatible with Mac, Windows, and Android, announced the direct sales launch of their new Q Ultra Series, which will coincide with the start of CES 2026. From January 6-9, Keychron will exhibit at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) South Hall 1, Booth #30547, and will also attend Pepcom's Digital Experience! CES 2026 on January 5. The brand will showcase the newly launched series and preview select products from their 2026 roadmap, including luxury concepts made from unexpected materials.

Q Ultra Series

Launching on January 6, 2025 at 7am PT, Q Ultra Series will be available via keychron.com. It is the first mass-produced ZMK mechanical keyboard series of its kind, offering up to 660 hours of battery life in 8K polling rate in wireless mode, the longest in its class, enabled by its ZMK open-source firmware. Q Ultra Series models are equipped with Keychron's new Silk POM switches, made from a new material that delivers a richer sound and improved typing feel favored by enthusiasts, and feature an 8K polling rate via both 2.4G wireless and wired connections. Each keyboard is built with a full aluminum case and a new design that includes a decorative knob and bottom accent, along with fully customizable keys, a double-gasket structure, KSA double-shot PBT keycaps, layered acoustic foams, and a 1MB Flash MCU designed to support a more stable and reliable connection. The series will be offered in three layouts, including a 100% layout (Q6 Ultra), a TKL layout (Q3 Ultra), and a 75% layout (Q1 Ultra).

"The Q Ultra Series reflects how far wireless mechanical keyboards can be pushed when battery life, performance, and materials are engineered together from the start," said Paul Tan, Co-founder at Keychron. "It's designed to meet the expectations of users who want speed, stability, and build quality without compromise."

V Ultra Series

Launching on keychron.com in late January, with exact timing to be announced, V Ultra Series upgrades Keychron's V Max series with similar advancements, including ZMK, up to 660 hours of battery life in 8K polling rate in wireless mode, Keychron's new Silk POM switches and a 1MB MCU. The series supports 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired connections, and incorporates a redesigned knob, a gasket mount structure, and enhanced acoustic foams to provide a more refined typing experience. V Ultra will be offered in three layouts, including a 100% layout (V6 Ultra), an 80% TKL layout (V3 Ultra), and a 75% layout (V1 Ultra).
