OnePlus just announced its new co-creation platform, called 'OnePlus Featuring'. On this platform, the company will work with its partners to launch new products in the market. The first partner for the platform is Keychron, which OnePlus is collaborating with to launch a new mechanical keyboard.

This will be the company's first keyboard, which will feature a mechanical key switch design, and will come with the ability for the users to customise its keys. The keyboard will be made available globally in early 2023. Apart from this, the company did not reveal any additional details about the upcoming product.

Keychron is one of the most popular names in the industry, and has been in business since 2017. Mechanical keyboards have a very strong enthusiast community, and was the category chosen by the OnePlus community members as a future product category via a poll on the company's official forums.

Besides this, the company has announced that it is looking to launch two new PC monitors soon. Both these products suggest that the company is highly interested in getting into the PC market. Incidentally, Xiaomi is also looking to enter the PC market, and is soon expected to launch two mini PCs in its home country of China. But unlike Xiaomi, the company does not have any laptop or tablet offerings, so it will be interesting to see how the company decides to compete in the PC market.
