2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection

Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the V1 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM architecture MCU equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

These double-shot PBT keycaps have a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Switch Layouts Between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron V1 Max comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Gasket Mount Design

By adopting a gasket mount design along with a PC (Polycarbonate) plate, the V1 Max reduces acoustic resonance, delivering a softer and quieter typing experience with enhanced flexibility.

Program V1 Max with QMK & VIA

Hot-swappable

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Gateron Jupiter Switch

Our exclusive Gateron Jupiter mechanical switch (for the Fully Assembled version only) comes with a 5-pin design, its pre-lubed with a reliable Gateron quality standard with up to 80 million keystrokes lifespan. While their unique LED diffuser design offers high RGB backlight transmittance and softer backlight effect.
The banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.

Lovely keyboard

This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I LOVE it! The feel is lovely, it makes the best sound with little to no echo, the spacebar is a lot deeper then the other keys. The RGB is great, there's loads of options already loaded and you can have it at a static colour and be able to change it (even to white). The hot swappable feature is great if I want to change my keys out for something better in the future. The battery life is good enough for me, only having to charge it once a week for about 2 hours. I would definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone looking for a good wireless keyboard.

Fantastic Typing Experience

Great keyboard to type on, excellent for gaming. Moved from reds to browns with this new keyboard and am loving the change. The one minor gripe that I have is that there's no dedicated light for caps lock. Instead it changes the colour of the light below the key but from the angle I look at it from the light is completely obscured on that key specifically. So the only way to know if caps lock is on is to start typing or pickup the keyboard and look at it directly. Otherwise great product and love that it comes with both a usb type A and usb type C radio receivers.

Fantastic value keyboard

Got this keyboard to improve my productivity (writing equations in LaTeX) and am extremely happy with it. Good build quality, extremely customisable, and very usable. The only downside was my unit had ticking stablisers, so I did buy a cheap set ($10) online and placed them in, but aside from that I am very happt with the typing experience. The gasket mount is soft and pillowy and gives it a nice clacky but subdued sound.

Battery lasts for ages and very smooth typing experience. Sounds extremely nice and also very easy to mod (not that you’ll need to)!
