OnePlus's popular keyboard is being offered for sale in more regions
The OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro, introduced a while ago, is about to be available for sale in an increased number of regions.
OnePlus has recently unveiled its first-ever mechanical keyboard, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro, alongside its international release timeline. As promised, the keyboard is now available for purchase in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The sales have also been extended to Indian customers, albeit with a slightly more complex acquisition process.
Currently, OnePlus is only selling the Winter Bonfire version (also referred to as the "optimized tactile switch") of its 81-key mechanical keyboard. They are expected to release another variant, the "linear" Summer Breeze switches, at a later date.

The OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro Winter Bonfire version is retailing for $219 in the US, €249 in the EU, and ₹17,999 in India. However, in India, OnePlus is selling the keyboard on an "Invite only" basis for the time being. The open sale in the region is anticipated to begin from August 7.
Notably, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro comes with several attractive features. Its lightweight aluminum body and gasket top the list. The keyboard also includes a built-in holder, hot-swappable switches, and open-source firmware. It is compatible with operating systems like macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Customers can opt for either Bluetooth or wired connectivity, easily interchangeable with a toggle key that resembles an Alert Slider. The keyboard is equipped with Bluetooth 5.1, offering a wireless range of up to 10 meters. A 4,000mAh battery powers the keyboard, which provides up to 100 hours of use at the lowest brightness level. Charging and wired connections are made through a USB Type-C port, with a complete recharge time of approximately 5 hours.
