Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power.

Keychron Super Switch
Our exclusive Keychron Super switch adopts a new mold with unparalleled precision. Every switch is tested for pro-grade quality and has a lifespan of up to 50 million clicks, providing great reliability and high performance for long typing sessions. Its new light affection structure on its transparent top housing also ensure high light transmittance and a more consistent, brighter backlight effect.
OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps
To further fine-tune your typing experience, the K8 Max comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use on the timeless tenkeyless layout.
Screw-In PCB Stabilizers
Even small part matters for your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete. The Keychron K8 Max also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.
South-facing RGB Backlights
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.
Comes with more than 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed with ease.
