Ideal for beginners

The Keychron K1 Max combines a sleek TKL layout with the comfortable typing feel of a mechanical keyboard. Thanks to 2.4 GHz radio, Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C, it can be flexibly connected to a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone. The compact 80% layout creates more space for the mouse and is ideal for office, home office or gaming.

For IT professionals & enthusiasts

The K1 Max fully supports QMK and VIA and can be conveniently programmed via the Keychron launcher. Each key can be assigned individually, macros can be created and different layers can be configured. Inside, an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with 256 KB flash works for fast and reliable input. Via 2.4 GHz and USB-C, the keyboard achieves a polling rate of 1000 Hz, while Bluetooth 5.1 supports up to three devices at the same time. NKRO is available both wired and wireless.

2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection

For maximum flexibility, the K1 Max connects via either 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.1 or USB-C. The integrated 2000 mAh battery allows up to about 95 hours of runtime without lighting or up to about 50 hours with RGB lighting activated.

Ultra-Slim

With its flat aluminum ABS case and the Gateron low-profile 2.0 switches, the K1 Max is one of the particularly slim mechanical keyboards. Three adjustable tilt angles also ensure an ergonomic hand position.

Program with QMK & Launcher

The browser-based Keychron launcher allows for convenient configuration without additional software. Key assignments, macros and functions can be individually adjusted at any time.

Suitable For All Devices

The keyboard supports macOS, Windows, and Linux. Additional keycaps for both operating systems make it easier to switch between different devices.

An Epic Core Inside

The powerful ARM Cortex-M4 processor, together with the 1000 Hz polling rate, ensures fast signal processing and low-lag input.

Interior Acoustic Foam

Multi-layer IXPE and latex acoustic foam reduces annoying typing noises and provides a comfortable, muffled writing experience.

Hot-Swappable (optional)

The hot-swap version allows the tool-free replacement of compatible Gateron and Keychron low-profile switches. Soldering is not required for this.

Low-Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps
