Keychron K8 Max RGB Brown Switch Wireless Keyboard (black)
Keychron K8 Max is a wireless mechanical keyboard that combines innovative technology with exceptional comfort.

Equipped with advanced acoustic foams, it guarantees a quiet, pleasant typing experience, while special switches provide a perfect feel for every click. Fully customizable allows you to tailor the keyboard to your needs, while hot-swap allows you to easily replace switches without soldering. The ergonomic tilt, OSA profile and PBT keys ensure comfort even during long sessions. It's ideal for those who value performance, style and versatility for everyday work and entertainment.
Excellent typing quality - comfort and silence
Keychron K8 Max is a keyboard designed for exceptional comfort. Brown switches (Brown Switch) offer the perfect balance between tactile travel and quiet clicks, making it an excellent choice for the office and home. The keyboard is equipped with advanced acoustic foams, such as IXPE, PET and EPDM, which effectively dampen sound for a pleasant and quiet typing experience. The steel mounting plate adds stability while enhancing the responsiveness of each keystroke.
Multiple ways to connect
The Keychron K8 Max offers three ways to connect, adapting to your needs. 2.4 GHz with a 1000 Hz readout rate guarantees ultra-fast response, making it ideal for gaming where every millisecond counts. Bluetooth 5.1 enables simultaneous connection to three devices, allowing you to switch seamlessly between computer, tablet and smartphone. A wired connection, on the other hand, ensures stability and the highest transmission speed during stationary operation.
Full customization and hot-swapping
The K8 Max keyboard offers open QMK software, which allows full configuration of each key. With the dedicated Keychron Launcher app, you can easily assign macros, shortcuts and functions, customizing the keyboard to your needs. This is perfect for programmers and gamers alike. The Keychron K8 Max is also fully customizable with hot-swap switches. You can swap 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda and others) without the need for soldering. You can customize the keyboard to your typing style in seconds.
Attention to detail and stability
Keychron Super Switch is a new quality in the world of mechanical keyboards. Each switch has been tested for 50 million clicks, guaranteeing reliability and long life. The transparent housing provides excellent light transmission, making the RGB backlighting bright and even. Unique OSA (OEM rounded-angle profile) keys made of double-molded PBT provide exceptional abrasion resistance and fingertip comfort. PCB screw stabilizers eliminate the wobble of large keys such as space, shift, enter and delete, ensuring smooth and stable typing.
Ergonomics, style and functionality
Adjust the keyboard's tilt to your preference with three tilt levels (3.4°, 7.7° and 10.7°). The OSA profile and acoustic foams further take care of wrist comfort, allowing you to work for hours without fatigue. The K8 Max is equipped with south-oriented RGB backlighting, which better illuminates the keys from the user's perspective. The 22 backlight modes, as well as the ability to adjust the brightness, saturation and speed of the effects, allow you to create the perfect atmosphere for work and play. Importantly, the southern backlighting eliminates the hassle of installing Cherry-style overlays.
Performance and wide compatibility
At the heart of the keyboard is a powerful ARM processor with 256 KB of Flash memory, giving greater flexibility for programmers and advanced users. The 1000 Hz debounce rate in 2.4 GHz and wired modes guarantees minimal latency, even during dynamic games. The Keychron K8 Max features a Mac layout that perfectly replicates Apple's multimedia and function keys, while offering full Windows compatibility. You'll find dedicated keys for both systems, including additional ESC and Enter keys, making it easy to switch between devices.
