The Keychron NOligarchy Profile

Keychron earns a NOligarchy Score of 90 out of 100 — the highest in its sector. Two of its three pillar grades sit at a perfect 100, but those scores reflect the absence of matched records across the sources this project tracks, not a verified finding of clean conduct. The one grade that reflects an actual data point — the wealth extraction pillar — lands lower, held down by the inherent opacity of a privately held company.

Score history — 23 quarters
Tier bands show where each quarter's score falls — no numeric y-axis needed. The dashed ring marks the year-over-year comparison point. Tap any quarter but the first to see its pillar breakdown.
•
Political Access Grade: 100/100. No lobbying filings, Political Action Committee (PAC) records, or executive donations to federal candidates have been matched to Keychron across the tracked sources during the period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026 (8 quarters — the two-year tracking period). Whether those records exist elsewhere and have simply not been linked is not something this data can confirm.
•
Wealth Extraction Grade: 71.42/100. As a private company, Keychron is not required to publish executive pay, buyback activity, or dividend payouts. The only available benchmark is a sector-wide industry estimate — not a company-specific disclosure. No buyback or dividend records have been matched to Keychron.
•
Playing by the Rules Grade: 100/100. No regulatory fines and no subsidy records have been matched to Keychron across the tracked sources. This reflects the current state of available data, not a confirmed finding.
Keychron ranks 1st out of 12 companies in the Computer & Electronic Product Manufacturing sector — well above the sector average score of 61.4. That standing is partly an artifact of the incomplete data picture: when no matching records exist across the tracked sources, two pillars default to 100. The rank reflects what public records show so far, not necessarily what the company’s full conduct looks like.
The Bottom Line: Records Not Yet Matched Across Tracked Sources
No lobbying, PAC, executive-donation, CEO pay, stock buyback, fine, or subsidy records have been matched to Keychron across any source this project tracks, from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. That could mean the company genuinely has no federal political spending or violation history to report — or it could mean matching records exist but have not yet been found and linked to this company. This profile reflects the current state of available public records, and readers should treat the absence of data as an open question rather than a confirmed finding of compliance or restraint in any direction.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage
No federal lobbying filings, no PAC registrations, and no traceable executive donations to federal candidates have been matched to Keychron across the tracked sources during the two-year period.
The Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) filing system returns no registered activity for Keychron. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) shows no individual contributions traceable to Keychron employees in the same span. No lobbyists employing former government officials appear in the data for this company.
For a company in the Computer & Electronic Product Manufacturing sector, the issues that draw lobbying dollars from competitors are predictable: trade policy and tariffs on components sourced from Asia, semiconductor supply chain legislation, customs classifications, and intellectual property protections. Whether Keychron tracks or engages those debates through channels that have not yet been captured in this project’s sources is not something the current data can answer.
EXHIBIT — THE RESERVED SEAT
$0 in lobbying · $0 in PAC money
Keychron filed no federal lobbying and ran no corporate PAC in this window — the reserved seat at the witness table sits empty.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage
Because Keychron is a private company, it is not required to file proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — which means no CEO pay ratio, no stock buyback disclosures, and no dividend records are required to appear anywhere in the public record. No buyback or dividend data has been matched to Keychron across the tracked sources.
The best available pay benchmark comes from outside Keychron’s own books entirely: 84:1, based on AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch industry benchmarks for comparable companies in this sector. This is a sector-wide estimate, not a Keychron-specific disclosure — meaning that for every dollar a typical frontline worker takes home at companies in this space, someone at the top of a comparable company pockets $84. Whether Keychron’s internal ratio is better or worse than that industry benchmark is not publicly disclosed, and no stock buyback or dividend data is recorded for the two-year period. That combination of gaps means workers, journalists, and policymakers have no independent way to assess how the company distributes what it generates.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage
No regulatory fines, no recorded violations, and no public subsidies have been matched to Keychron across the tracked sources during the two-year period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026.
In a sector where labor violations, customs penalties, and consumer product safety citations appear routinely on competitors’ public dockets, the absence of matched records here stands out — but it is an absence of matched records, not a confirmed clean bill of health. Records may exist in federal or state enforcement databases that have not yet been linked to this company, and this profile will be updated as additional matching occurs.
