This page provides a plain-language summary of how to think about the repository license. It is not a replacement for the full license text.
No. This repository is source-available.
That means the files are available to view and study. Original compatible accessories and add-ons are not subject to the commercial-use restriction in this license. The main limit is that you may not use these files to copy and sell Keychron keyboards or mice, and you may not use Keychron trademarks as your own branding.
Yes. You can download, open, and study the files.
Yes, as long as the use stays personal, educational, or otherwise non-commercial.
Yes, if it is for personal and non-commercial use.
In general, you should keep any sharing consistent with the repository license. If your remix includes substantial parts of Keychron's original files, do not present it as a full Keychron product replacement, and do not use Keychron branding in a way that suggests endorsement.
Yes. Original accessories and add-ons made to work with a Keychron product are not subject to the commercial-use restriction in this license.
Examples may include fit-check tools, holders, stands, covers, display accessories, or other compatible add-ons.
That does not allow you to copy and sell a full Keychron keyboard or mouse design.
It also does not give you the right to use Keychron trademarks, logos, or branding except for factual compatibility statements such as "compatible with Keychron Q1".
No, not if the result is a keyboard, mouse, or a substantially similar copy of a Keychron product.
Yes. Internal evaluation, accessory development, or compatibility work can be fine. But copying Keychron keyboards or mice for a business offering is not.
Not if the manufactured product is a keyboard, mouse, or a substantially similar copy of a Keychron product. Original compatible accessories and add-ons are allowed.
Not as your branding, and not in a way that suggests endorsement or official status.
You may use factual compatibility wording such as "compatible with Keychron Q3" if it is clear that your product is independent and not made by Keychron.
Do not do that unless the license clearly allows it or you have permission from Keychron.
Always check the repository's main license file for the controlling terms. This FAQ is only a simple guide.
Assume original compatible accessories and add-ons are allowed, but product-copying and trademark use are not. If your project is close to a full keyboard or mouse product, ask Keychron for written permission before moving forward.
