Skip if , different Anyone who wants a true ergonomic split Travelers Buyers who want detailed independent reviews Anyone who regularly switches between standard and Alice layouts Buyers who want published reviews of this exact model People who want to avoid any Max-series reliability risk
Pros , different 2.4 GHz at 1000 Hz, Bluetooth and wired modes in an Alice layout Programmable M keys, easy to set up (The Gadgeteer) CNC aluminum body, PC plate and gasket mount Battery rated up to 180 hours (Keychron) Full function row and knob Alice layout with a function row and knob in a wireless gasket-mount board Tri-mode: 2.4GHz and wired at 1000Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 958 g (Keychron's figure), much lighter than the wired V10 Keychron rates the 4000 mAh battery at up to 190 hours with the backlight off QMK with the Launcher web app, hot-swap sockets and screw-in stabilizers
Cons , different Heavy at about 2.1 kg Layout quirks carry over from the Q10 (The Verge on the Q10) Fixed typing angle Only one light independent write-up found Alice keycap compatibility is limited Evidence is thin: no full independent review was found Alice split requires adaptation (MacGeneration) Bluetooth polling is 90Hz, per Keychron's spec table Max-series double-press and chatter reports led to a Keychron statement in July 2025 (TechPowerUp) Keycaps are not shine-through
Research take , different A capable wireless Alice 75% on paper, with thin independent coverage. Treat sound and feel as inferred from the Q10 and other Max reviews. The larger wireless Alice board in Keychron's V line. Independent coverage is partial, so lean on the V8 Max and V10 reviews, and buy from a recent batch with a good return window.
