Wireless 80% TKL with a gasket mount and PC plate
A tri-mode TKL with a gasket mount and PC plate. Tom's Guide praised typing feel and sound but flagged PCB flex in the corners and an awkward knob; V Max chatter reports apply.
A good-value wireless TKL with a pleasant gasket feel, held back by corner flex and an awkward knob position. The 2025 chatter reports are the reason to buy from a recent batch. If polling rate matters more than wireless, the V3 8K is the alternative.
The V3 Max is the wireless 80% model. Keychron's spec page lists an ABS plastic case with a gasket mount and PC plate, Gateron Jupiter hot-swap switches, OSA double-shot PBT keycaps, a knob, 2.4GHz (1000Hz), Bluetooth 5.1 and wired USB-C, QMK with the Launcher web app, and a 4000 mAh battery rated up to 190 hours with the backlight off. Keychron lists 895 g.
Tom's Guide called the typing experience one of the best it has had on a budget board, with Gateron Red switches (45 g) that bounce back smoothly, a rich but relatively quiet sound, and a result that beat its previous best typing speed and accuracy. It reported a couple of weeks of office use per charge on the 4000 mAh battery. It also found noticeable PCB flex in the corners because the upper part of the board is poorly supported, thought the volume knob was awkwardly placed, and noted the keycaps are not shine-through, so the legends stay dark in low light. It also notes that the Launcher needs a wired connection.
As with the other V Max boards, TechPowerUp reported double-press and chatter complaints in July 2025, which Keychron attributed to warped plates and said it had corrected at the production level. Keychron also sells the V3 8K, which is wired with 8000Hz polling and a stiffer tray mount.
