An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM architecture MCU equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

Gasket Mount Design

By adopting a gasket mount design along with a PC (Polycarbonate) plate, the V1 Max reduces acoustic resonance, delivering a softer and quieter typing experience with enhanced flexibility.

Program V5 Max with QMK & VIA

With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.

Fantastic

The barebones kit came in only a week after placing the order. While it is definitely expensive, I think it is well worth the price for a high-quality feeling numpad keyboard, having multiple methods of connectivity, different light patterns and modes, keyboard software, and potential for being very quiet. I bought this kit because I wanted to build a quiet keyboard, and find it to be very quiet with hand-lubed silent tactile switches.

The only things that are potential issues for others are:
1. the removal of the navigation keys and print screen key, but I think navigation buttons are kind of niche anyway and there is a print screen key combination
2. the stabilizers are louder than the rest of my keys which have lubed silent tactile switches, which could probably be mitigated by some additional modding
3. the LEDs are south-facing, which is unconventional to most commercial keyboards, and that also means you’ll have to be on the lookout for keycaps that print the legends on the side

Great keyboard

Good keyboard, use it for work everyday in the office. Easy to install switches, just plug & play.

Great keyboard for office work

I love this keyboard and appreciate the plastic case for office use. I appreciate the modes being set through hardware switches instead of hotkeys (BT/cable/2.4GHz, and Mac/Win). Love the volume knob.

Great board for beginner hobbyists

Purchased recently for my first keyboard build :)

It came beautifully packaged and was very easy to set up. Switches were easy to install and remove with the tools included. The multiple Bluetooth + wired connectivity options is great, especially since I switch between a Mac and PC throughout my day.
