Full description and specifications

The Keychron V3 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is built for enthusiasts who demand both performance and customization in a compact form. Featuring an 80% TKL layout, it strikes the perfect balance between functionality and desk space, offering a full set of keys without the bulk of a numpad. Its gasket mount design and ABS plastic body with a PC plate deliver a stable yet cushioned typing feel, while the hot-swappable design supports most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches, giving you endless customization options.

Connectivity is seamless with triple-mode support: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and USB Type-C wired. With a 1000Hz polling rate in wired and 2.4GHz modes, and 90Hz in Bluetooth, the V3 Max ensures ultra-low latency and high responsiveness across gaming, productivity, or creative tasks. You can connect and switch between up to three devices effortlessly, making it ideal for those who work or play across multiple platforms.

Typing comfort and visual appeal are at the forefront with OSA double-shot PBT keycaps, designed for durability and a premium texture. Paired with south-facing RGB backlighting, users enjoy vibrant lighting effects without interference when using custom keycap sets. The Gateron Jupiter RED switches included in the fully assembled version offer smooth actuation with a tactile bump, while screw-in PCB stabilizers ensure a quieter and more stable typing experience.

The 4000mAh rechargeable Li-polymer battery delivers up to 190 hours of use with backlighting off, or up to 100 hours with RGB on its lowest brightness, ensuring long-lasting performance. With QMK/VIA support, users have full control to program macros, remap keys, and customize lighting to suit their workflow. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, the Keychron V3 Max is a versatile powerhouse that combines modern wireless technology, premium build quality, and limitless customization.

Questions

Before you buy

Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 08:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 08:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
