Know before you buy
Yes, the V3 Max features a hot-swappable PCB. This allows you to easily pull out and replace the Gateron Jupiter switches with any compatible 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switch without needing to solder.
Absolutely. The keyboard is fully compatible with QMK and VIA software, which lets you remap any key, create macros, and customize layers to suit your specific workflow or gaming needs.
The V3 Max is designed for broad compatibility and works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It includes a toggle switch to easily swap between Mac and Windows layouts.
The OSA profile combines the spherical top of a classic retro keycap with the height of an OEM profile. This provides a comfortable, familiar typing experience that feels stable and helps guide your fingers to the center of the keys.
No, the V3 Max does not feature backlighting. It is designed with a focus on a clean, minimalist aesthetic and premium typing feel rather than RGB or LED illumination.
The Jupiter Red is a linear switch, offering a smooth, consistent press without tactile feedback. The Jupiter Brown is a tactile switch with a subtle bump, while the Jupiter Banana is a tactile switch with a faster, earlier actuation point.
