Keychron expands V Ultra keyboard series with V10 75% Alice and V0 numpad

Keychron has broadened its V Ultra-series lineup with the release of the V10 Ultra and the V0 Ultra. The Keychron V10 Ultra adopts an ergonomic 75% Alice layout that reduces wrist strain by angling the hands inward. Accompanying it is the V0 Ultra, a standalone wireless mechanical numpad.

Both devices are constructed from durable ABS plastic and mark a significant technological shift for Keychron by adopting the open-source ZMK firmware. This move away from the traditional QMK allows for much greater wireless efficiency and is the primary driver behind the series' impressive battery life claims.

 

Under the hood, the keyboard and numpad are equipped with Keychron's new Silk POM switches. Available in Red linear, Brown tactile, and Banana tactile options, these use a self-lubricating material for a smoother, richer typing sound. Moreover, like the remaining V Ultra family, these two boards also have an 8,000 Hz polling rate. To complement this, the V10 Ultra packs a 4,000 mAh battery capable of up to 660 hours of use with lighting disabled, while the V0 Ultra's 1,800 mAh cell offers roughly 360 hours of wireless uptime.

Both units feature south-facing per-key RGB lighting and hot-swappable PCBs compatible with any Cherry MX-style switches. Typing comfort is further refined by Poron gasket mounts and internal acoustic foams, which help damp vibrations. For connectivity, users can toggle between Bluetooth 5.3 for multi-device pairing, a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle for low-latency gaming, or a standard USB-C wired connection. The aesthetic is finished with double-shot PBT keycaps in the OSA profile. The V10 Ultra is now available for $124.99, and the V0 Ultra at $69.99.

KitGuru says: While the 8K polling might be overkill for most typists, the real star here is the switch to ZMK firmware. If you have been looking for an ergonomic Alice board that doesn't require a charging cable every three days, the V10 Ultra seems like one of the most balanced options out there.
