Grab the Keychron V1 for just $67 in Amazon's Prime Day sale. This is one of the best mechanical keyboards, with a solid construction and gorgeous design, and it offers a stellar typing experience. It offers a great degree of customization, thanks to it's hot-swappable switches and RGB backlighting.

The Keychron V1 has a lot to offer. If you're familiar with Keychron keyboards, you know they're durable, sturdy and reliable, and the V1 is no different. Its design and build quality are ridiculously good. It has a very well-constructed body made of ABS plastic and a top plate made of steel.

Not only does it look good, but it sounds good too, thanks to the sound-absorbing foam and silicone pad sitting between the double-shot PBT keycaps and the bottom case. The combination of these offers a dampened or fuller sound when you type, depending on the switches.

And boy are the switches fantastic. First of all, the keyboard is hot-swappable, which means you can change the switches whenever you like without worrying about de- and re-soldering them to the PCB. I tested the red linear switches which are buttery smooth, and the sound made me fall in love with the V1. And of course, typing on it is a joy, thanks to the lush double-shot PBT keycaps. The switches aren't too loud either so you won't disturb your coworkers.

If you're a gamer in your downtime, the V1 is well-suited to casual games too, thanks to its 1,000Hz polling rate. It's things like these that make the V1 one of the best keyboards.

Even at its retail price of $84, the V1 is a steal, so don't miss out on the 20% discount at Amazon right now. For more big savings, check out our Prime Day deals live blog for sales on everything — from iPhones and Nintendo games to TVs and laptops.
