I’m extremely satisfied with the Keychron V5 Max. The build quality feels premium, typing is smooth, and the sound is clean right out of the box. Wireless connectivity is reliable, battery life is solid, and customization options are excellent. It’s comfortable for long sessions and easily one of the best keyboards I’ve owned. Highly recommended for work and gaming.

Satisfaction can be done!
Works great, Mac users will appreciate all the features and functions just be sure to use the appropriate browser to utilize keychrons launcher app. This app was easy enough to figure out but it took me some time to explore the features and functionality. This app is a MUST as this keyboard features remappable keys ( note: this model is not a full keyboard). The red keys are very easy to press and have a low/mid level of noise to them when pressed but do not click like a mouse does. The body is plastic but solid and heavy so it stays put. This keyboard doesn’t look or feel cheap and appears to be well made and there is definitely some noise reduction/sound dampening lending to a solid feel. If you need or prefer backlit keys this keyboard has all that, however the key symbols themselves are not backlit, and therefore not as visible in low light conditions.
