Keychron K5 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

Awesome in every way

Mine is in white with banana switches. The typing experience is the best of any keyboard I've used to date (and I've used a ton of them). For me, key travel is perfect, the tactile feel of the banana switches is just right, and the sound is very satisfying. It's solidly built and so far (three months of near-constant use) it's very reliable. I use bluetooth connections to three different computers - a Mac Studio, a Macbook Air, and a Fedora Linux mini-PC - and they all work perfectly. My all-time favorite keyboard. What else is there to say?

This is by far the best keyboard I've ever had. I did my research with AI defined the one I should get. I'm glad I did this first! I type about a hundred words a minute and do a lot of document creation as well as coding. This keyboard keeps up with me in the tactile feedback is wonderful.

I would give this product a higher rating if the key caps were shine through. I saw that ither versions of the K5 QMK (non max) all had shine through key caps and foolishly assumed this keyboard would too. The MAX branding makes one think that you are getting every feature available for the series… but it doesnt. Bot being able to see the keys in the dark is a hyge pain and now I have to order another set of caps, a huge pain and very wasteful if you ask me. Why would Keychron do this? In genuinely baffled.
