Programme with QMK and Launcher
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for remapping keys, creating macros, shortcuts, and other functions. Every key can be easily customised using the Keychron Launcher web app.
Significantly improved acoustic foams
Enhance your typing experience with the K8 Max, which features advanced IXPE acoustic foam for superior comfort along with resilient EPDM foam for excellent switch support, responsiveness, and durability. The steel plate provides sensitive feedback and a quiet typing sound, while the added weight increases stability.
Suitable for all devices
It offers a Mac layout while also remaining compatible with Windows. It stands out by providing the same multimedia and function keys as Apple keyboards for Mac users, but with improved tactile feedback.
Easily switch between macOS and Windows
Additionally, you can set up different key maps for both macOS and Windows using the Keychron Launcher web app. The keyboard includes keycaps for both systems, including Esc and Enter keys, making it easy to switch smoothly between operating systems.
An epic core inside
A powerful ARM architecture MCU with 256KB flash memory provides greater flexibility. The polling rate is 1000Hz in both 2.4GHz and wired modes right out of the box, making latency almost imperceptible even in competitive games.
Hot-swappable (optional)
Every switch on the K8 Max can be hot-swapped with most of the 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering. Customise your own typing experience in seconds.
Keychron Super Switch
The exclusive Keychron Super switch introduces a new, high-precision construction. Each switch is tested for professional quality and has a lifespan of up to 50 million keystrokes, ensuring high reliability and performance over long-term use. The transparent top cover improves light transmission, providing a more consistent and brighter backlighting effect.
OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps
To further refine the typing experience, the K8 Max is equipped with an OSA profile (OEM profile with a spherical angle) and PBT double-shot keycaps, which provide a more comfortable feel on your fingertips and high resistance to wear and oils for long-term use.
Screw-in PCB stabilisers
Integrated screw-in PCB stabilisers ensure smoother operation and less wobble for large keys like the spacebar, Shift, Enter, and Delete. The keyboard also supports third-party screw-in stabilisers.
Ergonomic support
Three levels of adjustable typing angle (3.4°, 7.7°, and 10.7°) and curved OSA profile keycaps provide long-lasting ergonomic wrist support.
South-facing RGB backlighting
The south-facing RGB backlighting illuminates the keycaps better from the user's perspective and doesn't restrict the use of alternative Cherry profile keycaps. It offers over 22 backlighting modes and lets you adjust the hue, saturation, brightness and effect speed.
