All-Around Customizable Keyboard
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be easily assembled so you can customize and adjust any or every parts the way you want.
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 V2 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.
Dual Receivers
For a better 2.4 GHz wireless experience, the V2 Max comes with Type-C and Type-A receivers. Enjoy the quick plug-and-play time. Or, put them away in the keyboard magnetic storage slot at the top right corner.
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 V2 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 V2 Max reduces acoustic resonance, delivering a softer and quieter typing experience with enhanced flexibility.
Program with QMK & Launcher.
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app.
* Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge browser to open the Launcher and connect the keyboard to your device via wired mode.
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 3-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.
Screw-In PCB Stabilizers
Even small part matters for your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete. The Keychron V2 Max also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.

Customer Reviews
This Keyboard was my best possible choice. Im amazed of what you get for 100$. hot Swap, endless foam, Wireless, gasket mount and RGB? Thats too good to be true I thought, but you taught me a lesson. Even after using it for a while, I still have that ahh Moment when typing and oh wow how i love the dongles snapping in the holes. Im German, thats why I didnt discover this Keyboard at first. I thought you could never use an ANSI for german but it actually isnt that weird. I Like it because you get all these high end features for a starter price. Only two things I wondered about we're first, why there were no replace switches. 1 or 2 for safety would just complete this incredible unboxing and accessory set. Secondly, the Wireless switches in the top left are rattling a little bit because of the loose connection between the inner Switch and the outer Case plastic extension. Maybe a little foam pad could fix it. But i guess for this price you have to make some Cuts. Overall this is one the best keyboards in terms of price/performance and im absolutely satisfied with my purchase.
I really love the V2 and enjoy working with it. What really makes the difference for me are the two USB dongles. I would have given it 5 stars but the barebone version lacks its own carrying case. I travel daily for work and really miss having a case. I've seen that the fully assembled keyboard has one, but I don't understand why the barebone version doesn't.
Nice Keyboard
I recently purchased the Keychron V2 Max with Gateron Jupiter Banana switches, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This keyboard is decent in terms of build quality, functionality, and typing experience.
The Gateron Jupiter Banana switches are a delight to type on coming from someone who has only used Gateron Browns in the past. They offer a good balance between tactile feedback and smoothness, making coding sessions a pleasure. The switches are also not the quietest, so beware of that if you're using it in an office.
The Keychron V2 Max itself is decently built however the chassis has some flex since its made from ABS plastic.
The design is minimal and looks fantastic on any desk. The wireless connectivity is reliable. I really like the fact this model come with two 2.4GHz dongles both both USB A and USB C.
One of the standout features of this keyboard is its customizable RGB backlighting, which adds a touch of personality to my workspace. The ability to customize the lighting effects and colors via QMK and VIA software is a fantastic bonus for enthusiasts who love to personalize their setup.
Overall, I highly recommend the Keychron V2 Max to anyone who's looking to buy a 65% mechanical keyboard with all the bells and whistles under EUR 100. Whether you're a professional typist, coder, gamer, or casual user, this keyboard offers everything.
