Product Features

  • ✅ 3-Mode Mechanical Keyboard: The K5 Max is a low-profile QMK/VIA wireless mechanical keyboard. Combines advanced 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, Type-C wired connectivity, and an ultra-slim space-efficient 100% layout. The K5 Max features QMK/VIA key remapping, a 1000 Hz polling rate (on 2.4 and wired modes), PBT keycaps, and more as a premium productivity partner.
  • ✅ Wireless and Wired - The 2.4 GHz wireless and wired connection boasts a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. You can also connect the K5 Max with up to 3 devices via a stable Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking.
  • ✅ Remap with QMK/VIA: QMK/VIA means endless possibilities for a fluid workflow. Simply connect the K5 Max to your device with a cable, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on any system (macOS, Windows, or Linux).
  • ✅ Hot-Swappable Support - The redesigned low-profile Gateron mechanical switch is 31% slimmer than conventional switches with a shorter pre-travel and total travel distance that triggers an input and feedback faster than conventional/normal-profile mechanical switches. You can easily hot-swap every low-profile Gateron mechanical switch in a few seconds to customize the typing experience without soldering. The Gateron low-profile MX 2.0 Mechanical switch is designed to enhance reliability.
  • ✅ Quieter Keystroke: Features advanced IXPE acoustic foam for silent keystrokes and enhanced comfort, coupled with resilient latex foam for superior key switch support, responsiveness, and durability.
