OnePlus capped off its busiest event yet with its first (mechanical) keyboard and its latest TV. Both will hit the Indian market later this year.
Let’s start with the former. The OnePlus featuring Keyboard 81 Pro is the first device under the OnePlus Features brand and a new “co-creation platform”, in this case combining OnePlus with popular keyboard maker Keychron.
OnePlus with the keyboard 81 Pro looks very similar to the Keychron Q1 Pro mechanical keyboard. As you can imagine, it comes with 81 keys and a US layout. It has an internal RGB and the casing is CNC machined aluminum.
The keyboard has Bluetooth 5.1 built in, but you can also connect via the USB-C port. There’s a 4,000mAh battery inside that lasts 100 hours with RGB at the lowest brightness level.
Two types of switches are included, a more comfortable “Winter Bonfire” and a linear “Summer Breeze”. The “Winter Bonfire” keycap is made of his PBT plastic, and the “Summer Breeze” keycap is one that OnePlus called “Marble-mallow.

The keyboard has a laptop-style layout (no numeric keypad) and is hot-swappable.
What makes the OnePlus featuring Keyboard 81 Pro unique is the alert slider on the back, which is a wink for OnePlus smartphones, and a rotary knob that can be customized to trigger various functions.

The OnePlus featuring Keyboard 81 Pro will be available in April. OnePlus hasn’t revealed the price yet, but the Keychron is $199.
Moving on to the OnePlus TV 65Q2 Pro. It is the successor to the OnePlus Q1 Pro released in 2019.
As its name suggests, the OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro raises the diagonal from 55 inches to 65 inches. The panel is 4K QLED with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR and DCI-P3 coverage (97%).
This TV has a built-in 70W soundbar that simulates 2.1 channel audio and has a 30W woofer. The speakers are Dolby Atmos certified and tuned by Danish audio company Dynaudio.
The OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro runs Google TV on Android 11 with a custom OxygenPlay 2.0 platform. You can use your OnePlus smartphone to control your TV via OnePlus Connect 2.0.
The OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro will be available on March 10th at INR 99,999.
