Barebones and unverified regional configurations are excluded.","spec_sheet_url":"Exact maker online Specs table. No separate exact consumer datasheet PDF found. Original 22-page producer manual also contains a specification page.","model_numbers":"Exact maker ProductGroup variant payload maps Red V1M-D1, Brown V1M-D3 and Banana V1M-D4 to the three stored GTINs. Barebones V1M-Z4 is not a complete keyboard and is excluded.","markets":"Exact maker Global & US store and named ANSI configurations. No unsupported regional SKU mapping inferred.","variants":"Three fitted switch configurations and exact identifiers from current maker payload. Common variant-capable material, mass and kit fields repeated. Operating force, pre-travel and travel come from the maker Jupiter chart linked on this exact keyboard page.","hot_swappable":"Socket supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches. Fitted Jupiter switches on this keyboard are explicitly 3-pin, even though the separate switch store also sells 5-pin stock.","polling_rate_modes":"Maker Specs explicitly wired and 2.4 GHz 1000 Hz, Bluetooth 90 Hz. Included USB-A and USB-C receivers are alternatives. No separately sold high-rate adapter required.","key_rollover":"Maker explicitly NKRO for wireless and wired modes. Both documented wireless transports are covered by this statement.","bluetooth_devices":"Three Bluetooth devices explicitly supported. No distinct-host total inferred by adding receiver and cable modes.","battery_life_claimed":"Current maker wireless estimates up to 190 hours with lighting off and up to 100 hours RGB at lowest brightness. Connection, report rate, firmware and sleep conditions are unscoped. Launch press quotes 225 hours Bluetooth, so current exact maker table takes precedence. No review measurement substituted.","charge_time_full_min":"Maker charging time around 5 hours, stored as approximate 300 minutes. Starting state, charger current and use during charging not published.","software_name":"Current producer supports web Keychron Launcher. Original manual supports web VIA. Configuration requires wired mode and supported Chrome, Edge or Opera browser. Keyboard gameplay compatibility is separate from configuration support.","knob_programmable":"Exact maker Program the V1 Max section says customizable knob and key remapping/macros through QMK and Launcher.","weight_g":"Maker 770 g plus or minus 10 g for fully assembled keyboard, excluding cable and optional palm rest. Barebones mass not inherited.","switch_rated_keystrokes_million":"Maker fitted Jupiter lifespan is up to 80 million keystrokes, a rating rather than a guaranteed minimum or measured life."}},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0059/0630/1017/files/Keychron_V1_Max_User_Manual.pdf?v=1698891595","kind":"manual","accessed":"2026-10-05","fields":["manual_url","key_count","legend_os","has_numpad","has_function_row","has_arrow_keys","navigation_cluster","key_stagger","low_profile","multi_device_switching","cable_detachable","keyboard_port","cable_host_connector","os_compatibility","battery_indicator","media_keys","dedicated_media_key_count","knob_count","dedicated_macro_keys","display_type","os_mode_switch","layers","firmware_updatable","wrist_rest","dimensions_mm","typing_angles_deg","in_the_box","cables_included"],"notes":{"manual_url":"Exact maker V1 Max original 22-page manual, created November 1, 2023.

These are not four independent profile slots.","dimensions_mm":"Original manual page 10 explicitly gives front height 30.8 mm and back height 40.1 mm with fitted keycaps, versus 21.5/29.4 mm without. Stored maximum fitted-keycap body height is 40.1 mm. Foot position is not explicitly labelled in the original height table. The 40.1 mm back height is treated as the baseline body height, rather than a raised-foot measurement. Maker length 328.5 becomes left-right width and maker width 148.7 becomes front-back depth.","in_the_box":"Original fully assembled manual page 2 inventories both USB-A and USB-C receivers, one extension adapter, Type-C to Type-C cable and Type-A adapter, puller, screwdriver and hex key.

No optional wrist rest included.","battery_indicator":"Original overview page 11 identifies dedicated charging indicator. No LCD display or software battery report inferred.","media_keys":"Complete layout drawing has media Fn shortcuts on function row. Knob is volume control. No separate media or macro buttons.
