A layout that fits your workflow

The K5 Max uses 108 keys with a dedicated number pad, navigation area and function row in a low-profile body. This version has English-Arabic legends for bilingual typing. The function and navigation controls remain accessible for everyday shortcuts and desktop work. The low-profile double-shot PBT construction is designed to retain its legends through extended use. The low-profile switches are 31% slimmer than conventional-profile switches, helping the keyboard sit lower on the desk.

Linear switches and hot-swap flexibility

Gateron low-profile Red switches deliver a linear keypress. The low-profile sockets support Gateron and Keychron low-profile mechanical switches; full-height MX and optical switches are not compatible. Switch compatibility remains specific to the mechanical socket design.

Construction and sound

The keyboard combines a aluminium top and ABS body with a slim frame suitable for a compact work area. Adjustable feet provide a choice of typing angles. The result is a practical foundation for long typing sessions and regular gaming.

Lighting and daily usability

RGB lighting provides 22 lighting effects. The non-shine-through keycaps keep their printed legends clearly defined. N-key rollover supports simultaneous key input. The rechargeable battery supports up to 95 hours with lighting off; actual endurance depends on settings and use.

Customise the keyboard around the way you use it

QMK firmware and the Keychron Launcher web app let you remap keys, set up macros and adjust supported keyboard settings. Connect by USB cable when using Launcher in a supported browser such as Chrome, Edge or Opera. Mac and Windows layouts are supported with a physical system switch and dedicated keycaps, so the keyboard can move between operating systems without forcing the same shortcut arrangement on both. Bluetooth can pair with up to three devices, while the dedicated 2.4 GHz receiver offers a separate low-latency connection for a desktop or laptop.
