Our take, based on research
A slim 96%. Evidence is inferred from siblings.
Overview
The K17 Max is the slim 96%. Keychron lists 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, QMK/VIA with the Launcher, a 2000 mAh battery rated up to 95 hours, about 750 g and 387 x 119 mm.
No review of the K17 Max was found. Crafting Worlds' K17 Pro review, on the knob sibling, liked the waterfall keycaps and open structure but found Keychron's switches unpleasant, while Tom's Guide's K13 Max review, on a numpad sibling, found the numpad layout takes time to learn and the feet are loose.
It is the 96% option in the slim Max range.
