Keychron K2 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

There's nothing like the feel of a keyboard that's perfectly tuned to your setup. The Keychron K2 Max is built to break barriers, offering a high-performance 75% layout that adapts to any device, any operating system, and any workflow.

Keychron K2 Max Wireless Connectivity

Connect Without Compromise

The K2 Max gives you three ways to connect, each tailored for a different task.

2.4 GHz Wireless: Delivers a stable, low-latency connection with a 1000 Hz polling rate—the same performance you'd expect from a wired connection, without the cable.

Bluetooth 5.1: Connect up to three devices and switch between your laptop, tablet, and phone with a simple key combination.

USB-C: When it's time to charge or you need the security of a physical link, the USB-C port is always ready.

Keychron K2 Max QMK VIA Customization

Customization, Unlocked

Working in harmony with the K2 Max's connection modes is its QMK/VIA firmware. It gives you the power to personalize with precision.

Remap keys, create complex macros, build custom shortcuts, and much more. Even better: do it all through the simple Keychron Launcher web app, which makes it easier than ever to unlock the potential of QMK and VIA.

And the customization doesn't stop at the firmware. The board's hot-swappable sockets let you change your entire typing feel in minutes without any soldering. You have a specific way you like to work and play—why should your keyboard be any different?

Keychron K2 Max Internal Structure

A Superior Typing Foundation

To truly understand the benefits of the K2 Max, you have to feel it. The first thing you'll notice is its solid build. This board features a steel plate and an optional aluminum frame for maximum stability.

Multiple layers of acoustic foam—including IXPE, PET, and EPDM—absorb unwanted noise and create a deep, consistent sound profile.

For the larger keys, screw-in PCB stabilizers reduce wobble and deliver a smooth, satisfying feel on every press of the spacebar, enter, and shift keys.

Keychron Super Switch Features

Premium Switches & Keycaps

The K2 Max comes equipped with pre-lubed Keychron Super switches, offering smooth, refined performance right out of the box. Choose from Red (linear), Brown (tactile), or Banana (strong tactile) switches.

Thanks to hot-swappable sockets, you can change switches anytime without soldering. The board accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches.

The included Double-Shot PBT keycaps in the OSA profile are durable, oil-resistant, and won't develop shine over time. The comfortable, sculpted feel makes long typing sessions effortless.

Keychron K2 Max Hot-Swappable PCB

Hot-Swappable Freedom

Want to experiment with different switch types? The K2 Max makes it simple. The hot-swappable PCB lets you pull out switches and swap in new ones in seconds—no soldering iron required.

The south-facing switch orientation provides excellent compatibility with most third-party Cherry-profile keycaps, preventing the interference that can occur with north-facing switches.

Keychron K2 Max Ergonomic Support

Ergonomic Comfort

Two-stage flip-out feet allow you to set the keyboard at a 5º, 9º, or 12º angle for ergonomic comfort during long sessions.

The compact 75% layout saves desk space while keeping essential function keys and arrow keys within easy reach. It's the perfect balance between portability and functionality.

Common Questions

What's the main difference between the plastic and aluminum frame versions?

The plastic frame version is lighter, making it more portable. The aluminum frame version adds a sturdy metal rim to the plastic case for extra weight and rigidity, which creates a more planted, premium typing experience.

How do I customize the keyboard with VIA?

To use VIA, connect the keyboard to your computer in wired mode and open the Keychron Launcher web app in a compatible browser like Chrome, Edge, or Opera. The software will detect your keyboard and provide an intuitive interface to remap keys, assign macros, and adjust lighting.

Are the keycaps shine-through?

No, the double-shot PBT keycaps included with the fully assembled version are not shine-through. The backlight creates a clean, ambient glow around the base of the keys.

Can I use other keycaps on this keyboard?

Yes. The south-facing switch orientation provides excellent compatibility with most third-party Cherry-profile keycaps, preventing the interference that can occur with north-facing switches.
