Keychron V5 Max

The V5 Max is the wireless version of the 96% V5. Keychron's spec page lists an ABS plastic case with a gasket mount and PC plate, Gateron Jupiter hot-swap switches, double-shot OSA PBT keycaps, 2.4GHz and wired at 1000Hz (Bluetooth 5.1 at 90Hz), QMK with the Launcher web app, a knob, and a 4000 mAh battery rated up to 190 hours with the backlight off. Keychron lists 925 g and 391.5 x 148.7 mm.

TechGearLab used the Banana tactile version and said it was a fun, satisfying typing experience with a crisp bump, but its testers recorded lower-than-average typing speeds than other wireless boards. It described the tall, curved OSA keycaps as only middle-of-the-road for comfort and advised a palm rest to avoid wrist strain, and it found the numpad awkward because of a small 0 key. It measured 47 dB while typing, described a creamy sound that could be loud in a quiet office, and praised the convenience of a volume knob and wireless options. Overall it picked the V5 Max as its favorite wireless mechanical keyboard.

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.
