Review: Kechron’s K7 Max desktop quality on a low keyboard

I remember time when using a portable keyboard means stability for a soft, upside down experience with cheap and low -level keys and rear lines. Writing was more than a few important phrases, and the performance of the games may be better. Often you were without it, I chose to use the touch screen on any mobile device you were carrying, and I will never think about using one as the desktop.

However, times have changed, products like Keychron K7 Max offer a suitable mechanical keyboard experience while moving. Although I am still my best full -volume of desktop use, I was using K7 Max as the only keyboard for a week, and I must say, it grows on me. If you need to elasticize a portable keyboard but do not want to try writing that makes your fingers cry, K7 Max may be the next purchase.

Price, availability and compatibility

Keychron K7 Max is available through Keychron starting at $ 94. The primary variable includes white backlight only, with RGB rear lighting that costs you another $ 10. If you want hot switch keys in addition to the rear light of RGB (my review form), the Keychron K7 Max costs $ 114. You can choose between low mechanical or brown keys. It should be noted that although the switches are hot, you can only enter Gateron or low -level keychron keys; Visual or complete keys will not work.

K7 Max is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, Linux and iOS. If necessary, Windows Keycaps is included for installation.

What I like about Keychron K7 Max

Multi -use package

It is not as if we do not pay the price of this privilege, but Keychron K7 Max has a distinct feeling. I love how the plate is compressed but was well built, using a set of ABS and aluminum for the frame. I barely noticed any flexible surface while using it, even pressure strongly in the corners. Keychron added a foam layer to help sound and feel, which is noticeable. Solid writing, fun from K7 Max’s Brown, touch.

It is also compressed, with a length of more than 12 inches and less than 4 inches depth – a small imprint possible of 65 % design. However, the keyboard will not be carried without control, and the length of K7 Max is only 22 mm – perfect for pregnancy in a messenger bag or in one of the available Keychron cases. K7 MAX is great if you are looking to get more productivity from your tablet on navigation, and convert a device like Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 ULTRA into power and school.

A great reason that makes the K7 Max very slimming is the low mechanical key in Gateron. With only 12.2 mm long, it is more than 5 mm in length than the full height key. I am pleased that Gateron created a key with the desired height that kept a suitable feeling and performance. It is almost like that K7 Max embraces your fingers, especially when it associated with the main capsule with a low spherical angle. Gateon 55 grams of activation power requires it, making it a great option for high-performance games-so you have to guess your place in Keypress.

Like other Keychron panels, the keys are pre -preserved, which means that K7 Max is satisfied with long writing sessions. I was writing for more than a week on the K7 Max, including for this review, the mixture of high -quality keys and the main drawings are low on the painting.

Although it is a low -level keyboard, K7 Max does not lack customization options. Keycaps is surprisingly included, Keychron claims to be more oil -resistant over time. However, if you want to switch it, many options are available from Keychron and others, so that you can match the K7 Max with your desktop setting. like CSTM65 drop I have reviewed, K7 Max can mix it with the right accessories.

Moreover, you can switch the keys for a completely different feeling. The company warns that only low Gateron/Keychron switches are compatible, but other low options of Amazon can also do the task. However, it should be noted that low -level optical keys will not work with the QMK fixed programs, so you achieve dual before demand.

Keychron includes 22 RGB styles for K7 Max and fixed white background lighting style to take a lower look. The company claims that the battery life is 34 hours of a 1550 mAh cell with RGB activation, and although this is mostly in the test, I will impose K7 Max every two days to be safe – nothing worse than work or school and realize that you are on power. The backlight is running the numbers completely, with more than a week of energy with RGB turning off.

Keychron provides several communication modes on K7 Max. Bluetooth 5.1 allows you to connect up to 3 devices at one time, while linking WIRE and 2.4 GHz wireless K7 Max with desktop setting. A wireless adapter is included in the square. You will want to go with a 2.4 GHz connection even if your desktop computer supports Bluetooth, as you will get the full polling rate of 1000 Hz – Bluetooth is limited to 90 Hz. K7 Max includes other distinct features such as N-Key Rollover, and Keychron Launcher allows several Keymap compositions.

What I don’t like about Keychron K7 Max

More options available

It is difficult to find a mistake with the K7 Max, especially given the ingenuity. I would like to see more officially supported switch options, allowing users to customize the painting of the painting.

The Keychron web operator is good for lovers, with micro units and suffalistic sponsorships, but the interface may be easier to use for unusual users. K7 Max is a great choice for buyers for the first time looking for a good mechanical keyboard, so I would like to see the company a bit of new users.

Should you buy it?

I really enjoyed my time with K7 Max. It is incredibly multi -use with an excellent sense of writing, playing hard games, and low -level building quality. It is difficult to argue about the value, as you get a mechanical keyboard that you can take to work and school but still connect it at the end of the day to line up with your friends in the counter-strike- all with no sacrifice much. It is really a plate that you can wear or wear her clothes, depending on what you need, and I strongly recommend one experience – you will thank you for your fingers.
