Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

1year4Maker product pagekeychron.com/pages/warrantyRead 23 October 2026Global and US direct-store base term twelve months from delivery unless purchase documents state otherwise. K Max covered through defective-part replacement. Keycaps three months. Statutory rights excluded.

1year9Maker product pagekeychron.com/pages/warrantyRead 8 October 2026Global/US maker policy gives twelve months unless purchase documents explicitly state otherwise. Exact K8 Ultra manual says defective components are replaced during warranty rather than the whole customizable keyboard. Regional purchase terms and statutory rights may differ.

Both are also in the API. Back to all keyboards.
