Keychron is gearing up for the release of their V8 Max mechanical keyboard, which boasts an ergonomic Alice layout. Set to be available at 8 pm on JD.com and Tmall’s Keychron Flagship Store, the starting price is 529 yuan (around $85 USD).
Compatible with Windows and Mac
Designed to offer a more natural hand position, the Alice layout aims to enhance comfort during prolonged typing sessions. The V8 Max provides flexibility with its triple-mode connectivity options: 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB connection. This makes it easy to link up with various devices such as desktop PCs, laptops, and tablets. Moreover, the keyboard supports both Mac and Windows operating systems.
Hot-Swappable Switch Sockets
The V8 Max features hot-swappable switch sockets, enabling users to effortlessly personalize the typing experience by installing their preferred mechanical switches without soldering. It comes pre-fitted with Gateron’s custom Jupiter axis switches, which are factory-lubricated for a smoother typing feel. Additionally, the keyboard includes OSA PBT double-shot keycaps, renowned for their durability and resistance to wear.
Enhanced Functionality
To ensure all key presses are accurately registered, even during rapid typing, the keyboard supports full-key anti-collision. Keychron also provides proprietary web drivers and supports open-source QMK/VIA software, allowing users to program macros and adjust the keyboard layout to their liking.
