Keychron launches V10 Ultra 75% Alice and V0 Ultra wireless numpad

Keychron launched two new entries in its V-series Ultra line: the V10 Ultra, a 75% Alice-layout mechanical keyboard priced at $124.99, and the V0 Ultra standalone wireless numpad at $69.99. The headline selling points are ZMK open-source firmware for power-efficient wireless performance, south-facing per-key RGB, and unusually large battery-life claims, the V10 Ultra is said to last up to 660 hours and the V0 Ultra up to 360 hours with backlighting disabled.

The V10 Ultra is a 75% Alice-layout board designed to angle keys inward to "open up the chest and shoulders," with dimensions of 162.2 × 389.6 mm and a weight of 950 g ± 10 g reported by Notebookcheck. TechPowerUp and Keychron notes add that the V10 has an extra column of macro keys along the left edge and a programmable knob on the left, and that the case is ABS plastic. Under the hood the V10 uses a 3-pin, 5-pin hot-swap PCB compatible with Keychron's Silk POM switches, Red linear, Brown tactile, and Banana tactile, and ships with double-shot PBT keycaps in OSA profile. Connectivity includes 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, and wired USB Type-C; Notebookcheck reports an 8,000 Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4 GHz modes and Bluetooth support for up to three devices. Keychron Launcher web app is listed for customization on the product table.

The V0 Ultra numpad is built as a full-featured wireless tenkey with extra macros: TechPowerUp describes a row of four macro/navigation keys above the 10-key area, a column of five macro keys to the left, and a programmable knob in the top-left corner. The V0 packs a 1,800 mAh battery with the claimed 360-hour runtime when backlighting is disabled, uses ABS plastic construction, and shares double-shot PBT OSA keycaps and Silk POM switch options with the V10. TechPowerUp also lists the V0 as part of the Ultra family that will feature 8K polling.

There is a firmware wrinkle worth noting. Multiple sources explicitly state the Ultra designs lean on ZMK firmware for power-efficient wireless performance. At the same time, Keychron's V10 product copy on its site for other V10 SKUs reads "fully customizable with QMK support" and mentions screw-in stabs and an acoustic pad. The supplied materials do not explicitly confirm QMK for the V10 Ultra SKU, so the safe factual stance is that Ultra models are described as using ZMK while Keychron's broader V10 listings reference QMK.

TechPowerUp flags one more point of debate: both Ultra models "will both feature 8K polling, although the usefulness of this is debatable on a mechanical keyboard." Notebookcheck frames the ergonomic benefit of the Alice layout as reducing wrist strain during long typing or gaming sessions. With US pricing set at $124.99 for the V10 Ultra and $69.99 for the V0 Ultra, Keychron is positioning these as wireless-focused entries with battery stamina and ZMK-driven power efficiency as the primary differentiators.
