OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro: Recently, OnePlus debuted its first mechanical keyboard, the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro, and disclosed its global release schedule. The keyboard is now available for purchase in the United States, Canada, and Europe, as intended. Customers from India have the option to acquire the keyboard, but the process is complicated.
Currently, OnePlus offers the Winter Bonfire (or “optimised tactile switch”) version of the 81-key mechanical keyboard exclusively. The alternative “linear” Summer Breeze switches are anticipated to be made available at a later date.
The Winter Bonfire edition of the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro is available for $219 in the United States, €249 in the European Union, and 17,999 in India. OnePlus is presently selling the keyboard to Indian customers on a “Invite-only” basis. The region is anticipated to begin open sales on August 7.
