“It’s nice but if it was with the volume thing on the top right like in the aula 75 it would be much better”

Critique
“When I charge the keyboard it only holds for like 10 hours and then I need to charge again”

Praise
“The keys feel smooth and easy as you type. It's probably the best keyboard I've used. I've had a number of mechanical keyboards, but, none of them can compare to the v5 max. The feel of the thing while typing, is hard to not constantly repeat.”
Chris L.Verified buyer· via Keychron
