OnePlus will hold an event on February 7 in India which will allow it to present several products on site. Among them is an elegant mechanical keyboard whose production should be launched in March. We discover it this week through some visuals and a video teaser.
Beyond its OnePlus 11, already launched in China, and its Buds Pro 2, OnePlus will have a mechanical keyboard (yes, you read that right) to show us next February 7 at a new event planned in India. A first for the brand, which therefore wishes to shine the spotlight on this brand new product as much as possible.
A product with a rather attractive design, it must be admitted, which is revealed this week through the first two visuals and a video spot of a few seconds unveiled on January 23 – by OnePlus France. An interesting publication in itself, since it suggests that the brand will launch this keyboard well in our latitudes… and not only in India or more generally in Asia.
OnePlus Keyboard: what to expect?
As pointed out 91Mobiles, the mechanical keyboard of OnePlus will therefore be launched in India at the beginning of February, but its mass production would not take place until March. It is therefore possible that its entry into the European market will take place in the spring. On the design side, OnePlus has obviously sought to revive the nostalgia that lies dormant in us, with colors and shapes that smell good of the 90s (it vaguely reminds us of the IBM Model M, for example).

A few hints of color here and there to highlight some important keys and a red button are also visible. On the video, however, the latter is replaced by a kind of textured and transparent wheel, which can direct us to a customizable or interchangeable control.
At the back of the keyboard, there are also two selectors which will allow you to choose between Mac or PC (Linux compatibility is also mentioned); and between USB or Bluetooth connection modes. Obviously, this is also where we can turn off the keyboard. A USB-C connector is finally relevant for connection or charging.
91Mobiles evokes for the rest a design to ” double seal » which should offer better resistance to dust and debris, but also better comfort and neat acoustics (less noise). OnePlus also promises an experience ” cushioned while maintaining a superior typing experience “. It also looks like custom profiles will be available.
in bulk,91Mobilesfinally specifies that RGB backlighting is also on the menu and that it will be possible to change theswitcheson the fly. More info to come in two weeks… this time from an official source.
