Praise
“Even after constant use for several weeks, the switches show no deteriation to quality whatsoever. Very well built too, as the sound is unlike any other”
Seza M.Verified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“I never recieved the Keyboard because it got lost in the arrival facility. The shipping company nor the manufacturer were helpful, but at least it was a free giveaway I won so I lost no money. It's a bummer I never got it though.”

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
