Key Features

• 2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection: Experience unparalleled performance with the K5 Max's 2.4 GHz wireless connection, offering a swift 1000 Hz polling rate. Its Bluetooth 5.1 capability allows seamless switching between computer, phone, and tablet for smooth multitasking across three devices.
• Ultra-Slim Design: The innovative low-profile Gateron switch is 31% slimmer than conventional normal profile switches, making the aluminium body K5 Max one of the thinnest wireless mechanical keyboards in the world. While still delivering a distinguished tactile response.
• Program with QMK & VIA: QMK/VIA means endless possibilities for a fluid workflow. Thanks to our engineering team, it's the first time in history that a wireless mechanical keyboard has these kinds of capabilities right out of the box. Simply connect the K5 Max to your device with a cable, drag and drop your favourite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on any system (macOS, Windows, or Linux)*.
• Suitable For All Devices: Offers a Mac layout while remaining compatible with Windows. It stands out in the market by providing the same multimedia and function key features as Apple keyboards for Mac users, but with enhanced tactile feedback. Additionally, you can configure different keymaps for both Mac and Windows devices. The VIA software is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. The keyboard includes keycaps for both macOS and Windows, along with additional esc and Enter keys, facilitating seamless switching between operating systems.
• An Epic Core Inside: A powerful ARM architecture MCU equipped with 256KB Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz on 2.4GHz and wired modes right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
• Interior Acoustic Foam: Elevate your typing with K5 Max, featuring advanced IXPE acoustic foam for silent keystrokes and enhanced comfort, coupled with resilient latex foam for superior key switch support, responsiveness, and durability. Redefining the standard for a quiet, comfortable, and responsive typing experience.
• Low-Profile Gateron Switch: The Gateron low-profile MX 2.0 Mechanical switch is designed to enhance reliability. Gateron's reputable switches are your best choice for a precise, smooth, and reliable fingertip feel, whether you prefer linear (red) or bumpy (brown).
• Low-Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps: Designed for a premium type feeling, the K5 Max comes with our unique double-shot PBT keycaps that are made of durable non-backlight shine-through PBT material with excellent oil resistance for long-term use.
• Redesigned Stabilisers: To make it stay on the level the same way as the switch while making sure it still delivers reliability and less wobble on the big keys like the space bar, left Shift, backspace, and Enter key.
• RGB Backlights: Comes with more than 22 types of RGB backlight settings as well as a static white backlight option, and 14 types of backlight settings on the White Backlight version. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, and effect speed with ease.
• Ergonomic Support: Its three levels of adjustable typing angle aim to provide long-lasting ergonomic wrist support.
