For IT professionals & enthusiasts
Things really get going under the hood: The K4 Max is QMK and VIA compatible – and also supports the new Keychron Launcher app. This allows you to easily adapt your layout via a graphical interface without having to get lost in QMK code. Ideal for anyone who wants customizing, but without the hard learning curve. The hot-swappable board allows you to quickly swap switches (5-pin south-facing) without the need for a soldering iron. The pre-installed PBT keycaps are robust and resistant to wear and tear. There's also a full RGB backlight that shines cleanly to the south – perfect for custom setups. Three connection modes (incl. 2.4 GHz dongle with 1000 Hz polling rate) make the keyboard a flexible workhorse. Whether Mac or Windows – both are natively supported, including extra keycaps for both systems.
Multi-system support
Mac, Windows or Linux? The K4 Max knows no prejudices. The keyboard can be switched directly to the appropriate system using a switch - ideal if you switch between work and private devices or like to play on the iPad.
Battery & Materials
The 4000 mAh battery will last you a long time even in RGB, and the case is made of high-quality plastic - light, stable, travel-friendly. For fans of aluminum, there is also a corresponding variant.
