Know before you buy
Yes, the V6 Max features hotswap sockets, allowing you to easily pull out and replace the switches with any compatible 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switch.
The gasket mount design provides a softer, more flexible typing experience compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. Combined with the polycarbonate plate and acoustic foam, it results in a more dampened, refined sound profile.
Yes, the V6 Max includes a physical toggle switch to swap between Windows and macOS layouts, and it comes with keycaps for both operating systems.
Absolutely. Because the keyboard is fully compatible with QMK and VIA, you can remap every key and customize the rotary knob to control volume, zoom, screen brightness, or any other function you prefer.
The 2.4 GHz connection uses an included USB receiver to provide a faster 1000 Hz polling rate, making it ideal for gaming. Bluetooth 5.1 is better for multi-device pairing and convenience when you want to keep your USB ports free.
The 4000 mAh battery is designed for extended use, though exact battery life depends on your RGB lighting settings and usage intensity. You can easily recharge it using the included USB-C cable.
