K11 Max, from Keychron's store

The K11 Max is a low-profile 65% Alice ergonomic board with 2.4 GHz and QMK/VIA. Tom's Guide praised the comfort and build but flagged loose feet and finicky software.

Our take, based on research

A good compact Alice board; expect an adjustment period.

Overview

The K11 Max is Keychron's slim Alice-layout board. The page lists a 65% layout with 68 keys, 2.4 GHz plus Bluetooth for up to three devices plus wired at 1000 Hz, hot-swappable low-profile Gateron switches, an ABS-and-aluminum frame, low-profile double-shot PBT keycaps, a 2000 mAh battery rated up to 95 hours and about 520 g.

Tom's Guide called it a great wireless ergonomic keyboard that feels premium and sturdy, with an aluminum case and an excellent typing experience, but noted a steep learning curve with the angled Alice layout, no separate function keys, finicky companion software and loose feet. In its use it felt no hand or wrist pain.

Compared with the K15 Max, it is a smaller Alice with fewer keys; compared with the K11 Pro, it adds a dongle.
