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 K8 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.

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.

Significantly Enhanced Acoustic Foams

Elevate your typing with K8 Max featuring advanced IXPE acoustic foam for enhanced comfort, coupled with resilient EPDM foam for superior key switch support, responsiveness, and durability. The steel plate provides responsive feedback and a peaceful typing sound, while added weight will enhance the stability.

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 as Apple keyboards for Mac users, but with enhanced tactile feedback.

Additionally, you can configure different keymaps for both Mac and Windows devices with Keychron Launcher web app. 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.

Hot-Swappable (Optional)

We also provide a hot-swappable version for your choice, which means you can customize your typing experience without soldering, pop them in and it's done.

Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the K8 Max with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.

Keychron Super Switch

Our exclusive Keychron Super switch adopts a new mold with unparalleled precision. Every switch is tested for pro-grade quality and has a lifespan of up to 50 million clicks, providing great reliability and high performance for long typing sessions. Its new light affection structure on its transparent top housing also ensures high light transmittance and a more consistent, brighter backlight effect.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

To further fine-tune your typing experience, the K8 Max comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use on the timeless tenkeyless layout.

Screw-In PCB Stabilizers

Even small parts matter 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 K8 Max also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.

South-facing RGB Backlights

The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.

Comes with more than 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed with ease.

Ergonomic Support

Three levels of adjustable typing angle (3.4º, 7.7º & 10.7º) and curved OSA-profile keycaps are all working together to provide long-lasting ergonomic support for your wrist.
