| Pros , different | Gasket mount with a PC plate on a 60% layout 2.4GHz at 1000Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 and wired USB-C (Keychron's spec page) 645 g (Keychron's figure) and 305 mm wide, light enough to carry 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 An owner reported a pleasant, not-loud typing sound with silent switches fitted (kyu08) | 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 | Evidence is thin: no full independent review was found 60% layout with no dedicated arrows or function row ABS plastic case and non-shine-through keycaps Max-series double-press and chatter reports led to a Keychron statement in July 2025 (TechPowerUp) Bluetooth polling is 90Hz, per Keychron's spec table | 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 | A logical wireless 60% on Keychron's V Max platform. Independent coverage is thin, so lean on the V1 Max and V3 Max reviews as a guide, and buy from a recent batch with a good return window. | 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. |
