Critique
“Working so I sent it to place to fix it and they quoted me something crazy but the other keyboard I ordered still works I do not understand why it stopped working”

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
