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.”

Praise
“Keycaps are dyesub, but still PBT Tactile switches feature a proper tactile feeling with great typing experience The case feels and looks really premium layer activation could be nicer but in the end you just gotta get used to the board”
