| Skip if , different | Anyone who needs arrow keys without layers (see the K7 Max) Gamers who want Hall-effect features Buyers who need independent review evidence | Typists who need a full-size right Shift Gamers who want deep key travel Buyers who want a heavy, premium desk board |
| Pros , different | Very small and light (about 426 g, maker) 2.4 GHz plus Bluetooth plus wired Milk POM low-profile switches, hot-swappable QMK/VIA with PBT keycaps Sibling K7 Max had good build and foam (Android Police) | About one pound (463 g) and 13.5 mm thick, built to travel (NuPhy) Hot-swappable Gateron low-profile sockets with four extra switches in the box (NuPhy) QMK/VIA remapping across Windows, macOS and Linux (NuPhy; AppleInsider) Tri-mode with 1,000 Hz polling over 2.4 GHz and wired (NuPhy) Aluminum top that PCMag found rigid, with double-shot PBT keycaps (NuPhy) Optional magnetic folio case that doubles as a stand (AppleInsider, PCMag) |
| Cons , different | No dedicated review of the K9 Max was found 60% means no dedicated arrow or function keys ABS frame, not aluminum Only low-profile switches fit (Android Police, on the K7 Max) Battery rated at 73 hours | Tiny right Shift that How-To Geek called a big compromise PCMag found the feet's locking tabs tight and shedding plastic after repeated use Bluetooth polls at 125 Hz (NuPhy) No dongle storage on the board and no barebones version (PCMag) Battery rated for only 30 to 90 hours with lights on (NuPhy lab figure) PCMag said it is best for mobile use rather than as a desk board |
| Research take , different | The tiny slim option with a dongle. Evidence is inferred from the K7 Max. | A well-liked travel 60% with real customization, held back by the cut-down right Shift and, according to PCMag, a design aimed at mobile use. Try the Shift layout before you buy. |
