Keychron V5 Max Mechanical Keyboard

The 96% layout is a compact design that includes a full numeric keypad while removing unnecessary gaps between keys. It offers the functionality of a full-sized keyboard but with a smaller footprint, making it ideal for users who need a numpad but want more room for their mouse.

Yes, the Q5 Max is fully compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. It includes a physical toggle switch to easily swap between operating systems, and it comes with dedicated keycaps for both Mac and Windows layouts.

The gasket mount design allows the keyboard plate to 'float' inside the case rather than being screwed directly to it. This provides a softer, more cushioned typing feel and a more consistent sound profile compared to traditional tray-mounted keyboards.

QMK and VIA are open-source software tools that allow you to remap every key, create complex macros, and customize lighting layers. Since these settings are saved directly to the keyboard's firmware, your custom configurations will work on any computer without needing to install extra software.

Yes, the 2.4 GHz connection provides a faster, more stable polling rate with lower latency compared to Bluetooth. We recommend using the included 2.4 GHz receiver for competitive gaming to ensure the most responsive performance.

Yes, the Q5 Max features a hot-swappable PCB. This means you can easily pull out the pre-installed Gateron Jupiter switches and replace them with almost any other 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switch without needing to solder.
