Keychron V5 Max QMK/VIA Wireless 96% Custom Mechanical Keyboard
V5M-D4
The Keychron V5 Max (V5M-D4) brings premium wireless performance and full customisation to a 96% layout — retaining a numpad and navigation keys while remaining more compact than traditional full-size keyboards.
It ships with Gateron Jupiter Banana switches, offering a tactile feel with a smooth bump, short pre-travel and quiet actuation — perfect for comfortable typing and gaming sessions. Hot-swappable sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, letting you upgrade or fine-tune your board at any time.
Built using a gasket-mount design and multiple layers of sound-dampening foam, the V5 Max delivers soft key strokes and a muted acoustic profile typical of enthusiast-grade boards.
With Tri-Mode connectivity, switch seamlessly between ultra-low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless (1000 Hz polling), Bluetooth 5.1 (multi-device), or USB-C wired. The large 4 000 mAh battery supports up to ~190 hours of use (no backlight) and fast charging over USB-C.
Fully programmable via QMK and VIA, it supports custom keymaps, macros, and lighting control across all platforms. The South-facing RGB LEDs ensure even illumination and compatibility with most aftermarket keycap sets, while Double-Shot PBT OSA keycaps provide exceptional durability and grip.
