About the Keychron V1 Max Wireless Mechanical Keyboard (Red Switch)
The Keychron V1 Max is a 75% wireless mechanical keyboard for anyone moving up from a membrane board who wants a compact layout, a knob and full key remapping. It runs over a 2.4 GHz link at 1000 Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 or USB-C, and QMK firmware with Keychron Launcher handles macros and layouts for Mac and Windows. This V1M-D1 version pairs a Carbon Black body with linear Gateron Jupiter Red switches that travel smoothly with no bump or click, a popular choice for gaming and fast typing. The switches sit in hot-swap sockets, so they can be changed later.
